Reading the LS Forum proved hazardous to the checking account...
New LS U5030C
*extra set of inner and outer engine air filters
*extra oil filter
*extra hydraulic filter
*extra fuel filter
*extra set of regular cabin air filters
*extra set of activated carbon cabin air filters
*full diesel tank
*shop & parts manual (dealer printed a copy from internet ~1.5" thick)
*free delivery (55 miles)
*free transportation for first two problems covered by warranty
$30k
Wasn't going to ask for any swag, but dealer added t-shirt, coffee mug, pen, and tote bag.
Also got a Shaver HD-8 post driver set up for 3ph for $2100.
Looked at a few different U5030C's. The newer ones don't have the hatch in the roof, and the HVAC, radio, etc are more spread out so there is more headroom. There is a place for a 3rd rear remote lever, but that option is not yet available. Should be a kit for that some day. Had to order it to get ag tires as most dealers were pushing industrial tires. The one I saw with ag tires had the older more crowded cab, but it was good to see one with ag tires to make sure that's what I really wanted.
Now, if everyone that reads this would please chip in $100!
Many thanks to all the posters that have shared their insight and experiences (both good and bad),
