Five of my eight tractors are propane powered. My Chevy Kodiac that I use to pull a backhoe trailer is propane powered. Fueling is simple and done from my 500 gallon tank that heats my house. It has a wet leg and fill hose attached. No pump. I just hook up the fill hose, open the bleeder valve on the truck or tractor, and the propane happily goes from the 500 gallon tank to the machine. It's much easier than carrying fuel in 5 gallon cans to my gasoline or diesel tractors.
The LP tractors will start in cold weather when the diesel will not. The gas tractors will start, but have to warm up before they can be used in cold weather. The LP tractors take very little warm up time. I like LP power.
The only "special equipment" you might need, other than the fill hose, is a thick pair of gloves. Liquid propane will cause freeze burns, but a pair of gloves prevents that.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
