The first 22 years of my engineering career involved combines where we left our exhaust behind us, well behind us. With Cat I was where to send the exhaust so you don't kill the crew, a requirement from our customers.
Hey that's me! For what its worth, there is a HUGE amount of marginally correct or flat out wrong information in this thread. I don't have the hours it would take to correct it all, but for what its worth... information gleaned from internet forums should not be considered gospel.

Excellent video, cleared up a ton of questions for me.Hey that's me!

Let me ADD that Cummins also has an emissions division. So, even though it is not there engine it maybe there controls.Going to go out on a limb again. I think you are going to see gas engines offered in your light/utility tractors. The hobby farm/residential owners are going to have a hard time justifying the increase in purchase and maintenance costs for diesel. Cummins did not jump into bed with westport for grins. Cummins Westport - About Us Yes, Cummins has gas engines in there product line. A Cummins Gasoline Engine? - Diesel Progress - July 2014 So, Cummins has had a good relationship with New Holland. My prediction is you will see gas fired engines in New Holland tractors sooner than latter. Maybe some other tractor manufacturer first, but it just makes sense.

Can I ask you a couple questions?
On the older model tractor where the must depress button to engage auto regen, what happens when they do not?
lights will flash on the dash once the DPF restricts telling them to do it, if they ignore that and keep running eventually they will end up in "limp" mode, if they still keep running it shuts down and you need a laptop to recover the machine.
we probably see as many problems with these systems from simple operator ignorance than we do from actual mechanical issues.
