Perfect Fuel Setup for our Homestead - But is it Everything I Need?

Is this the perfect setup for the money? 58 gallon Vevor fuel tank, storage for our grease gun and grease, plus all the fluids our equipment needs. All organized in an IBC Tote.

    In my eyes it's a 99% solution. To make it 100% add a fire extinguisher. I know, I know, diesel is not explosive but you just never know. What I do know is that a small fire in dry grass becomes a big problem real quick. But other than that I like it.

    An A. B. C. rated fire extingiusher, to put the equipment out or beat back the pile from the stuck/stranded machine.Some hooks for the odd rake, shovel or ax. Also a battery powered light mounted on a pole, for those days when it gets dark before you get done/ finnished.

    The outro!😂😂😂 I kept smashing my grease tubes, so I used a piece of PVC pipe that they will fit into to store them. I cut a groove lengthwise in the pipe so I can use my finger to slide the grease tube out. It saved me a lot of tubes and a lot of cleaning. You could use some hose clamps to secure the PVC to the tote frame. Stay safe my friend.

    Great Setup. If it was me, I would want to add connectors to the batteries of my machines that would let me quick connect the pump instead of having to raise a hood, open a panel etc to connect to the battery. They also make great battery tender connections. I also like the idea I read here about putting tools in something that can double as a seat. Looks like a lot of good ideas floating around in the comments.

    That's a great idea Mike. I'd suggest putting an Anderson connector on the pump then running a permanent line to the front of the 755 with another Anderson connector then you won't have to open the hood on the tractor and you'll have quick access power for anything else you dream up for front attachment. You could still keep the clamp connection by putting a connector on the piece you cut off and keeping it in the tool box.

    Jump leads? May be also a jump pack. Yes you could use the thing moving it... But might be in an awkward location...... As always! Extra long jump leads might be enough..... Lights? Battery/solar... So when you are working on the troubled machine it can help you see...... But like the new DP ones for the thundercreek rig, you are kind of emulating.... It might be ok now, but come autumn and winter... In the dark and cold.... Light is helpful. With a big battery.... Just a thought. Or a small generator... To provide power for lots of things, when in the wilds...... Batteries run out..... You have a big fuel tank.... Free flowing the thoughts here.... Can you tell. 😁 Need a decal for the side of the new "Kleemancreek" - fuel/oil/greese/maintenance tote thingy....... 👍👌

    I like your idea, but, I would improve it by cutting the bladder off about a foot up or so and place it underneath everything else which would keep other things you may transport from falling out of the basket. Plus I think it might strengthen it a little bit. This way you can bring a chainsaw and two stroke fuel, or extra batteries. I think the battery idea is pretty good because if you buy an inverter, you can charge your chainsaw batteries remotely and of course if your battery on your equipment is dead you can boost it and still fill it with fuel.
