I have an L6060 on order and I'm considering the mid PTO option. Since I use the tractor on uneven ground and in the woods, I'm concerned about damage. I don't plan to mow with a mid mount mower but I'd like the option to use powered front mount implements in the future. Does a mid PTO gearbox reduce ground clearance and is it easily damaged by running over debris?
Also, the L6060 is the first tractor I've owned with a belly mount fuel tank. In examining the floor model at the dealer, the tank is made of plastic and is protected by a thin steel skid plate. It seems to me it would be easily damaged by a rock or log. The 6060 has been around for a few years now and I haven't seen any complaints here about ruptured fuel tanks. I'd appreciate any thoughts others here can offer.
