The sloped hood 30 enables the operator to observe a loader bucket 11. The operator's platform 20 has a lowered transmission hump 22. The fuel tank 40 is positioned behind the operator's seat 4 and between the roll over protection system 2. The fuel tank has a sloped region 42 surrounded by the a pair of bevelled regions 43a, 43b. A strain region 45 is positioned between the fenders 13 and the bevelled regions 43a, 43b. The downward slope of the regions enables an operator to be capable of observing the hitch 7, power-take-off 12 and a towed implement. The operator's seat 4 has been moved forward on the operator's platform 20 to allow for better viewing of the rear of the tractor and the loader bucket 11.
