Hello everyone, I just joined yesterday as I've enjoyed reading the different informational forums for a few months now. I'm in the process of buying my first tractor and one under consideration is the LS U5030. One thing that I noticed right away on this tractor that I have not paid attention to before in any other model/brand I looked at is the position and material (looks like it's plastic) of the gas tank in the left bottom.
Is this a unique gas tank position/material or are there any other tractors like this. My main concern, particularly in my case where I would be going through a recently logged environment with sticks everywhere, is that something hits up as a tire weights on it causing damage to the gas tank.
Any thoughts or enlightment?
Forgive me if I placed this question in the wrong place, I'm still trying to familiarized myself with the site.
Thanks LHM

Thanks, that was good information. I'll go back to the dealer to take a closer look:thumbsup:

A new one should have the modifications if applicable to your model. Increasing the coverage of the skid plate should be easy in any event.

I was loking at mine, I think it has the modifaction but I am not real sure. It is a 2011 model year.

All, I'm pretty sure the issue with the gas tank was limited to the P 7000 series.

The older 5030 had the same type of tank only smaller I am sure by now the new tanks have been changed it was how the shield was attached to the tank.

Older being what?

2010 and younger birth
Edit: Maybe a dealer could answer that better. I said I am sure but I remember the Pinto.
