I suppose it can vary from one area/climate to the next along with the composition of the fuel you receive, so asking a few local people what they do or don't do would the best advise you could get.
For my purposes I have 500-600 gal of gas delivered at a time probably 3 times a year, never had a problem with it going bad.
Not uncommon here for a vehicle that has sat for 2 or 3 years with fuel in it to fire up and run just fine on what's in the tank.
You mentioned you have 7 tractors, I am guessing you have at least one that sat for quite some time with aged fuel in it.

Try not to draw any fuel out of the tank the same day you get it delivered so it has time to settle out.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
