m7060 engine warning 50% power reduction

[5030]

I dunno 5030, some auto stuff is nothing but trouble..... my buddy has a new Ram 3500 that’s been in the shop and has drivin in limp mode as much as normal it seems. He’s a Dodge dude tho and doesn't talk much about it tho....
My VW had more emmissions issues than my Kubota has. The car ran like crap when it was in regen, not to mention the intercooler icing, clogged EGR’s, then the scandal.... the 7060 seems to work ok for now. If there were more issues with them I’m sure we’d see it on the forums and there is not much chatter of actual problems? Just some dislike for the system which I do agree with and with you on. As with the cars and trucks, there are ‘fixes’ for tractors too, I’ve yet to see or hear of an EPA swat team out there pulling vehicles to the crusher as some think.. sure, the kids rolling coal are likely drawing attention to themselves but in areas where we don’t do emmissions testing for plates or safety inspections, I think we are safe as long as you’re not stupid. I’ll happily delete my tractor when the time comes. However, running it in the shop last night for a few minutes was quite pleasant... no smoke, not overly stinky...

I always warm either of mine in the tractor shop, especially in the winter and all I smell is a faint diesel and neither smoke unless I get on the fuel, which is foolish inside anyway. Far as vehicles go, I always opt for the extended factory warranty (not aftermarket junk), just because of the electronics and emissions if, I do have issues and if I do, I just plug in the scanner, which, you cannot do with a tractor of any make today because the manufacturer's didn't standardize like automotive did. I'd love to see OBD plugs on tractors but for now, ain't gonna happen. You buy one and you are married to the dealer with no hopes of divorce

Got a bulletin number for that?

There ya go, hopefully you never need it

It was more than dirty fuel. Had error code for high pressure in the rail system, a new solenoid fixed it SCV.

How much was that item?

Kubota loves there parts, very expensive, $331.00

My operator doesn't like to keep the rpm's up. So after the dealer does a forced regen I will have to come up with solution, I'm thinking at end of each day maybe I'll raise the rpm's and let run for 20/30 minutes to burn off soot, then do a shutdown.

I don't blame your operator. Work should be enjoyable, and I enjoy running at lower rpms myself.
Pre-Tier 4 emisssion/electronic tractors had no problems running at lower rpms; maybe that could be a solution for you.

Yes lugging and idling especially todays Diesel engines is problematic

I disagree, if you told the operator to use the parking brake anytime he left the tractor and he didnt and it went free wheeling into god knows what, you wouldnt blame the operator? Same difference, if its my equipment, his check would be short for several weeks, he would also be on the shovel detail for quiet some time, or down the rd.

LATEST UPDATE
Fuel is off to the lab, reason I've 2 more drums full
The service was drain tank, flush. clean water separator, replace fuel filter, replace fuel pump, replace SCV solenoid.
The SCV was the cause of the high rail pressure error
ran some seafoam and marvel, then force a regen

KTAC does NOT cover losses due to contaminated fluids

I'm asking for old fuel pump and SCV solenoid so I can inspect, if the solenoid has an electrical open circuit I might ask for that portion of the bill be warranted.

So to sum up, it WASN'T a regen problem, looks like fuel waiting on lab test, however the check engine 50% power was the SCV solenoid will investigate that for qummed up or electrical failure.

See pics for fuel systems explanation and what is SCV function.
