Hey everyone
I got a new DK4520 8x8 shuttle today and I'm a bit curious what everyone's advice is on operating rpm's to minimize the regen process from occurring.
The dealer told me to keep it above 1700rpm at all times and the higher the better while low RPMs can be attributed to clogging the DFI filter.
Nothing in the manual states a recommended operating rpm aside from PTO speed and what speed to stay above during the regen process.
In my mind, I want to operate it to what feels comfortable for the situation but I don't want to "mess" anything up either.
What are everyone's thoughts and experiences?
This is my first diesel vehicle. My only previous experience with a tractor has been an old Farmall M.
