Tractor Supply has cylinders and will exchange them when they are empty.

Hey Virgil,
A good outfit around here is Eastern Hills Welding Supply on Eastern Ave, they also have another new location way out off of 32.

Buy it locally, alot of welding places don't like dealing with some elses tanks. I couldn't finbd them much cheaper on the net than local anyways.

Going rate for a 40 cu/ft bottle is about 95-110 bucks out the door. And then, 12-17 bucks to refill it each time.

Everyone, please learn from my mistakes.
Don't shop strictly for price on these things. I did when I bought my MIG bottle. I wound up buying from the cheapest place in town, but then I had to drive 30 miles round trip to get it filled and they aren't open on weekends. Luckily, my local guy swapped me out with one of his bottles, so now I can get it filled 6 days a week right down the street. The local guy was 15 dollars higher when I bought the bottle originally, is why I didn't buy from him. It was an expensive mistake, driving back and forth for years to save that 15 bucks. Live and learn.
