Some thing to think about is if you get bad fuel or fuel during the early spring months it could be winter blend and will not have the BTU's and your tractor will not pull as good. And you will have a years supply of "bad fuel" I remember once when I was young dad getting some bad fuel from the fuel man and after ruining 2 diesel pumps and a pickup load of tractor and storage tank filters it was quite costly even with 40 cent diesel let alone $1.35 diesel now.
What are you doing now. Most tractors take from 25 gallons up per fill. If it is too far to drive to town with the tractor I would get a nearly new oil barrel and a pump with a filter and go that route. I would also store it inside. You did not mention where you are located and your location. If you are in a high or low rainfall location.
I have a pickup fuel tank with a pump that I never clean out and sometimes it sits for 6 months half full
