So the book says it ain't good to idle these new tier 4 engines because the build up of crap in the DPF. So how is everyone operating. I'm doing mostly loader work in the woods on the small property. In the past with older diesels I've never shut them down with out working for a few hours. So what's best. Say you're logging in the woods and you get off to buck up a tree and you're off the tractor for 5,10,20 minutes. Do I just run her at a higher RPM maybe 1200 or so or shut her down. So if that is so then why even allow the engine to idle down to 800 rpm what's the deal here. I'd like to prolong the life of my machine as much as possible. What about doing light loader work while the RPMs are really low. Is the still considered idleing.
