New owner of LS U5030C, with LL5102 loader, this is my first tractor. looking for other 5030 owners that may have advice on maintenance/problems to look for. 24 hours on machine to date.

On mine, when it's cold out, you need to REALLY let the hydro fluid warm up before the PTO switch will stay on. Sometimes keep switching it on maybe 5 times will finally keep it going. Doesn't happen in the summertime, only when below 32 or so.
Other than that (which isn't really a problem) mine has been trouble-free.
Get your filters from the dealer. Same price as the auto parts dealers and much easier to talk to.

I have had one over 3 years now an not have had one problem or complain. Love how the loader will pick thing up.

Welcome to TBN,
You will be very pleased with the tractor. Just follow the regular maintenance schedule, Keep everything full of fluids. And make sure you keep the radiator Screen clean. Mine has been trouble free so far.
