Is there any truth to this rumor? Does anyone know anything?
What is DPF?
Why do I have images of a burned out tractor hulk sitting in middle of a burned field in west Texas in August or September running through my mind? :banghead:DPF Diesel Particulate Filter ...

DPF Diesel Particulate Filter It is a filter on the exaust system, that when it becomes clogged the tractor needs to be shut down, and a regeneration cycle has to be initiated. The regeneration cycle will burn the captured particulate from the filter. (1100 plus degrees) This is a PIA to have to stop and do this, and at 1100 degrees a possible fire hazzard in some conditions. Mahindra redesigned their engines from the ground up to burn the diesel fuel more completely, thus not needing the particulate filter to meet the tier 4 emission specs. This fact should be a real added value for the Mahindra customer.
