All good ideas. The fittings are supported fairly temporarily because I don't know how much these tanks will settle when filled. Both are inside separate buildings on separate farms and the base is solid so I don't expect them to sink, but you never know. 5000 gal capacity is the max allowed without containment and reporting mandates for this neck of the woods so that's why the tanks are on separate farms. One reason I'm concerned about getting it right the first time is because of the reasons you stated, the tank will need to be evacuated and cleaned before re-entry. I do know the owner of a local trucking firm that has tankers who can come to my aid if I need to pump the tank out. One of his trucks will probably be making the delivery.
The only reason I'm getting the tanks is because the local elevators have locked horns as to who can be the biggest, but their customer service has suffered as a result. I just can't wait four days for them to come spray on my 28% pre-plant when I want to plant NOW. I have a good sprayer that's capable of putting on large gallons per acre and I now have the manpower with my son next door so I'm gonna do it myself from now on. Then there's the price advantage of having the semi deliver it to me straight from the terminal. Jim

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
