Power is a little less. I do not have a tractor but a combine. I was able to acquire a Liquid LP pump to fuel my machine. If you understand a little chemistry you can fuel a LP machine. Most residential tanks have a liquid tap. You need a special fitting for this tap, a couple of valve rated for liquid LP, a liquid LP rated hose and a filler fitting. No regulator needed. Most connect the fill hose and open the liquid level test valve and vent LP vapor until Liquid LP appears at the valve. You MUST remember that LP vapor is HEAVIER than air and will pool in low areas if there is no or little wind. You can also run the engine of the machine from the vapor outlet of the fuel tank. This causes the pressure in the tank to drop letting the tank you are filling from fill the tractors tank. I did this this weekend at an engine show to fill the LP tank on a Allis-Chalmers model L power-unit. I was filling the power units tank from a fork-lift tank.
