They delivered it Friday afternoon. Got it in the barn to inspect a little. Radio had no power, radio antennae was missing, loader hoses were tight against the exhaust stack, loader hose bracket was installed wrong and you couldnt even mount my loader on it. So...2 hours later I get the hose bracket fixed CORRECTLY, which also fixed the hose on the exhaust issue. Dealer came this morning, power wire had came undone on radio, quick fix. I just don't get the uncaring, incompetency nowadays. Not got any seat time yet due to this monsoon but I can tell you this engine is WAY quieter, service guy says its the new injector pumps which eliminates the injector knock? Still unsure on the regen/dpf but once I get some hours on it I will report back.

Very nice looking tractor.:thumbsup:
I like the tier4 engine. It quiet for sure and still puts out power. My tractor did a re-gen at 55 hours. It took 15 minutes and the engine went back to normal.

My question is this, the service guy said if im bush hogging and see the light come on i need to cancel it and then when im done put in park and restart the regen in park. I thought and according to the manual, it will regen while I am using it in auto mode. He says no because it will rev the engine to wide open in the last stage and will overwork the implement. I was going to start a thread on the regen experience with these tractors. I know my trucks have to regen but you just drive them until its done, no real notice in any changes to rpm, etc. I would assume the tractors are no different.

I had a kioti that was nothing but issues. I had to get the AG involved because corporate wasn't listening it spent more time at dealers and dead in the driveway then work.
This time paid more on a Kubota l 4060 love it I had a bad seal they split under warranty. The dealer came out a few times to fix little things like a hoes that was leaking . They been great. I did like the kioti and some of what it offered like the leaver on the back to raise and lower 3pt hitch. The kubota on the other hand starts right up and I love the power and I love ever sec of my seat time.
Good luck hope JD dose right by you
I'm surprised the new John Deeres and Kubotas are still using DPF's. Had one on my truck (removed it), what a pain in the ***. MF, Fendt, Deutz, and I believe the new NH's do not use DPF's on their tractors. No regen, no excessive fuel burning, no giant expensive filter to replace. They use diesel exhaust fluid only, and so far mine has hardly used any in 50 hours. I think diesel truck manufacturers have switched from DPF to DEF as well, much less to go wrong.
After an all night set on the concrete in the barn, I discover a puddle of fluid, appears to be antifreeze. I crawl under to investigate and see they also had removed a bolt that held a bracket for all the fuel lines, now fuel lines are rubbing the block...:mur:, called the dealer hes sending me a bolt, I guess I'm going to try to find the mysterious antifreeze leak and hope its just a hose clamp....beyond frustrated. Where is the quality control? You would think with the issues I have already had they would have went over this tractor with a fine tooth comb to be sure there were zero issues.
