- Kubota L3901 HST w/ FEL, ST2046
When I was a weee little lad on my Daddy's farm long, long, LONG time ago, he had a Farmall V tire tractor that he always let idle when he got off to do something. He claimed it was a diesel and it only got turned off when you were done with it.
FAST FORWARD to now
I have a new Kubota L3901 and at 20hrs had to do it's first "Regen". From things I have read here it has to do with letting it idle, and if the RPMs are up it won't happen as often.
So my question is... Have tractors changed that much? Was Dad full of it? Is it better to turn off my tractor and restart it every time I rest, other wise running at a higher RPM? Or get used to doing a regen every 20 hours:confused3:
