Got the tractor back today. Same issue as a year ago, DPF 200% clogged hence the CEL and limp mode. Now reading 4%. It never read that low after the forced regen a year ago, so the pressure washing worked. However, the dealer claims DPF cannot be washed because it's different, unlike an OTR truck DPF it has a heater in it and washing it will ruin it. LOL. They also claim it's plugging up because I'm using bad fuel. The same bad fuel that is causing zero issues in a Kubota skid steer and another Kioti tractor. This tractor gets used in the winter solely for grapple work. The problem has happened 2 springs in a row as soon as we start using it hard again. This winter we did manual regens to try to prevent it but it happened anyway. Something else is going on. I'm putting the higher temp thermostat in it. Jim R, exactly how did they eventually diagnose your bad injector?
I also was told that my.problem was probably bad fuel or biodiesel. They found the bad injector by doing a Run Up and Shut Down test on the injectors.
