Probably, if the tractor has loaded tires and/or some type of rear ballast.
A few years ago, I moved my 500 gallon above ground tank, which I had purposely allowed to become empty.
I used my Ford 860 and boom pole to move it and it was all it would do to slide it across the ground even though the tractor has front weights and I used the short hook on the boom pole.
The above ground tank probably weighs around 500 lbs. I expect that a below ground tank weighs considerably more.
Be advised that the lifting hooks welded to propane tanks are intended only to lift empty tanks. As your tank is not empty, you should have slings long enough to lift the tank from below.
