The only issue I have had using E85 in a tractor is it tends to attract moisture, more so than regular gasoline. I use a bottle of "heet" now & then, this keeps the condensation down to a manageable level, the water never gets above the stand pipe in the tank unless you are loading onto a trailer, or going up a steep hill.
The condensation wll eventually build up, so now I drain my tank completely every spring & fall after the temperature changes stabilize, and the dew is not as heavy. I have heard most of the problems with E85 were with fuel injected cars & trucks, the alcohol eating up orings & seals or turning them to white powder, and burning fuel injector tips. That was with the older models, I think the blends they use now are much friendlier to fuel injection.
