Ever wonder what "LP" means? The large round tank on the top indicates that this tractor uses LP gas, or liquified petroleum gas.  Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a fuel in liquid form at or below its boiling point (-44 degrees F) and when it is stored under pressure, otherwise it turns to gas (or vapor).

Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas
