Question about tier 4

Lets not forget that the save the world types in the EPA are planning Tier 5 emissions.
I love thumbing my nose at those types when I use my 54 Super M and 84 Ram 250..

What happened to a government for the people by the people?
I had a conversation with an engineer friend and he is all for the standards. I asked why and he visited biejing and thats what has him on board for the change. I asked him if he has ever used heavy equipment. Of course not. I explained that the consumer is the guinne pig and this stuff is expensive and not working properly on some equipment. I dont understand the thought process. People say its good but yet people are moving into cities like never before and no one thinks that doesnt have adverse effects on climate and pollution. Whatever

California is forcing old construction and highway equipment to either be shutdown or re-engined with Tier 4. The day maybe coming for your tractor?

As long as they keep selling gas, I plan on doing my part to help justify an EPA workers salary..
Im not a big fan of epa at all. I suppose changes will come but i just dont see how they can make a guy that has a tractor without the emission standards change it. IF epa paid for it and all the costs that goes along with it when there is trouble then sure haha im sure that would never happen

Well since it was new in 1954 and still has 6v pos ground electrical, good luck trying to find a way to make it anything compliant. There were gas, diesel, and propane variants.
Do they require any additives now? Dealer mentioned the 4-5hr regen frequency and high temps but didn't say anything about additives, but I did not ask specifically about them either.The new engines still will have a regen but not as often. The fact they are common rail does not eliminate the need for the regen.
In another post from RCO Tractor:
"The new LS models will feature CRDI engines, designed and built by LS in their new S. Korea engine plant, down to the 30hp range. It's correct that the high injection pressures and computer controlled injection with CRDI produce a stronger and more fuel efficient engine, all else equal, that leaves less particulate in the exhaust, but we're being told that there will still be a "scaled down" DPF to clean the exhaust further. It will operate on much longer cycles than the current Shibaura Regen engines (something like 50 hours as opposed to 4) and won't require any fuel additives or interaction from the operator... I believe that there's not even going to be an indicator light or any concern over high exhaust temps while in regen mode."

No additives required. Other than the dash light on when it's in the regen mode you'd never know it was cycling.
