B3350SU Regen issues continue

[RickB]

Of the 10, 4 refer specifically to new service information and diagnostic tools, not machine shortcomings. One refers to the removal of protective plastic film placed over the instrument panel prior to shipment. Two are specific to cab units. There are more recent bulletins regarding regen issues that you don’t have images of.

Rickb, can you get images or numbers of the more recent sb on regen?

Not until Monday. Typically updated info on a particular issue or concern retains the original bulletin number but has a suffix indicating the revision number. A search for updated info for a known bulletin number would simply include the base bulletin number. The search function would locate the latest version.

Are service bulletins available on the web or only available to a dealer?

 

[RickB]

They are published as dealer information. Post #10 is proof that they can end up anywhere.

Rb,

Thanks for all this effort. I did see that some don't apply, but one that might. I'll print a couple of them and see of they can at least attempt a re-program if my serial number matches. Its VERY helpful to have a piece of paper to show them.

Thanks Again!
Randy

I have a B3350 with over 230 hours on it. I also do not seem to get the buzzing or flashing. When the regen light goes on, I do what Peter315 does. I stop and park the tractor, turn off PTO and rev it 2,200. The light goes off in about 15 minutes and I can carry on working for another 30 to 40 hours. I do notice that in cold weather one needs to regen more often, but its not a major issue in Texas, where I'm located.

I believe that there is a software bug that is not sequencing the buzz, flashing light, solid light for regen. It seems to simply default to the solid light immediately. So far I have not had any other issues and have never taken my tractor to the dealer for this problem.

if they can't get the issues resolved right away, don't wait for them to have it, several times. it took my dealer and kubota a year to buy back my b3350. gave me the purchase price back, toward a new b2650...
but did not return the years worth of payments. it was very inconvenient to have the unit constantly in the repair shop. over all i lost a years worth of work, along with the payments...
so don't wait as long as i did, to request a replacement, if they cannot resolve the regen issues.
