Just curious - how many years before your buried tank and all piping will need to be inspected and recertified ?
Propane Tank install with MX5400

Just my thoughts here. First you should check with your state / local authority to find out if there are requirements for how often that anode should be tested. The propane companies I am familiar with here in CT check it at ~ 6 months after initial install. After that its from 1 to 3 year frequency. I don't know what the state requires.
As far as concern for the tank 'submarining' goes, underground oil (pretty much a thing of the past residentially) and propane tanks installed in wet areas would require a concrete base under the tank with straps over the tank to hold it down.
Propane is usually very safe but its nothing to take chances with.

I don't own any buried tanks, but I did rent a property that had a buried tank, and that tank was just 3 years old when they dug up the anode and replace it. They don't dig up the line nor do they recertify the tank. They just replaced the anode.
Good job sir and great video.
I have dug many holes like that with the tractor, best to have a box blade with weights or any rear implement for extra weight, what the ol timers have told me and taught me, 'spinnin (tires) ain't winnin...'
Yep. There are some things our smaller tractors simply cannot do, but there are a lot of "too big" jobs that they can do, if you have the time.
