Tier 4 idle question

[Paystar]

Just a thought. Why don't we all email these guys to show them interest in DPF deletes for the small compacts. They already do agricultural tractors, and their deletes and programs work wonders on big rigs.

It would be pretty easy for them to come up with a fix as these small compacts are a lot less complicated than the systems on big trucks.

Good Idea! So far so good on my new tractor, 17 hours and no regens yet.

One point to remember is the emissions warranty is quite long on the off-highway. If there is any hint of tampering the warranty is void. If for example the warranty is 5,000 hours, you remove the DPF and your turbo fails at 4,000 hours, it's all your bill. If the engine has not been tampered with its the company's bill. Just one thing to keep in mind when you start stripping things off the engine.

Most likely you will get one around 45-50 hrs. I have 115hrs on mine now and it came right around 48 and 100. Nothing but that slight smell of hot motor and it just keeps on keeping on as usual.

Mine has done it twice, once at 14 hours and another at 25 hours...

Yes that is a good point. Myself, I wouldn't even think about changing anything while it is still under warranty and even after that I don't plan on changing anything unless it just became such a problem child that something has to be done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out just fine the way it is.

Not only that, but companies are being shut down, fined, etc for selling emissions delete kits like the ones mentioned above. I wouldn't put it past them going after somebody publishing a free system for doing the same thing.

That seems a lot. What are you burning, fuel oil or high sulphur diesel maybe?

I mainly don't idle my diesels because they're using fuel even when idling. If I have to get off my tractor, it's far safer and more fuel efficient to shut it down (in gear for the safety). If stopped at a long traffic light with the TDI, I shut it down.

Looking at my Massey 1758 manual, it says to idle for 30 minutes in temps below 0F,, 1200 rmp.... I have HYD trans, So assume a lot of winter operation will increase my soot levels? What fuel would add less soot to an engine? It's -18F out so I am limited to #1 plus additives.
