carpenter, NO! With enough $$$$$$$$$$$ anything is possible. But Even if you had Free Gas @ the well head the cost of Compression will break you! and when all things are @ Best you will need a tank that is Basically the size of a standard 5 ft. Oxygen Bottle. And it will only run for a little while.
Case in Point,,,Hitch Feeders @ Guymon Okla. tried to Urutalize this back in the late 80s.. They had the Gas, thought they thought that they could use Compressed Natural Gas to power the Yard Trucks. Went All in! Every thing !
The tank in the back of each Pu was basically a 5 ft. O2 bottle it laid down in the front of the Pu bed next to the cab. The problems start from there, a full bottle of CNG woulds only power a Pu. about 15 miles! Then have to be refilled.
The Compressor was a totally a shipwreck. It takes Soooo much pressure to get Natural gas to go to liquid it is undeliverable. The maintainence cost of the Compressor ( every 1,2,3 days something needed fixing) alone caused Hitch feeders to S#it-can the whole deal, after about 18 months/2yrs.

Back to what you want to do here..... It is your Money, do what you like, But you WILL be throwing your Money down and endless rat hole and what you have in the end will be Costly & not that good.............................................
LP is cheap, a tank that is already on the tractor will work just nicely, fill it from your home tank or call your local LP distributor.
Later,

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
