The liquid line is what you normally use. you only use the vapor if it is cold and you need to try to start it. For filling I have a hose on my tank. Try to fill before you get the tactor hot as this makes for a problem. Propane will flow when the temperature of the tractor tank is less than the temperature of the holding tank. Opening the valve a little drops the temperature of the tank.
Problem to fill in cold weather.
If the tank is out in the sun and the tractor has been in the barn it works great!
Propane tractors last! The fuel burns so clean that the engine last much longer. No problem with varnish as in gasoline or acids using diesel.
I once let my JD 730 setup for 2 years and it just cranked off after a few turns.
