Anyone ever "delete" the dpf on a tractor?

@Hay Dude @5030 what would you two do without one another? Which one of you is Walter Matthau? Jack Lemmon?

Damn Odd Couple...

It's all in fun anyway. This is just a forum and nothing more and really don't impact what I do or with whom I associate with at all. In as much as I'm an International Travelall fan, I can be Walter no issue. Great movies btw. Have all of them on CD.

Now can we get back to Tractor as in Farm or CUT DPF delete? My tractor will never see pavement under it's wheels. I get on blacktop maybe once a month in a road vehicle.

Certainly, I have no issue with that. All threads on here (and every other forum are prone to thread drift. Just how the information highway rolls.........

OP asked a good question and it took exactly 8 minutes for the inevitable response to get posted and here we are 11 pages later down in the mud on what's "allowed" by the wonderful EPA and what isn't.

Guys, we get it, the EPA is run by tree huggers who worship the earth instead of the One who created the earth. We know that. We also don't care. What the OP wanted to know is can he make his tractor work better at less cost thereby benefitting him? The answer is yes. Around here you can't shake a stick without hitting a deleted pickup truck. They consume far less fuel and last a lot longer which benefits the environment and the owner. Nobody is going to show up on your farm wanting to inspect your tractors. Do what you need to benefit your family. That's the American way.

The way the ecm 'monitors' the DPF is by pressure sensing modules placed at various points (could be on either end or end and middle of the cannister). When the pressure drop exceeds what the ecm is programmed for, a regen initiates. I would assume that removing it and removing the sensors would throw an error code and possibly derate the engine. Not having that issue however, I don't know for sure.

The book smart but practical application dumb people at the EPA really have no clue and don't care. All they care about is making the mandate and letting manufacturers comply.

There is always a way round anything. Just comes down to cost and practicality.

Don't see tractors ever becoming something the pollution police would ever inspect but I do see that with road going vehicles.

With the current price of diesel, there is always the siren song of running ORD instead in a road vehicle but as of late, the pollution police have been sticking fuel tanks at farm auctions around here and the initial fine for ORD in an on road vehicle's fuel tank is a grand. 1000 bucks buys a lot of diesel, even today.

Or maybe politicians don't get kickbacks from used ones... Lord, I apologize, I thought I was on the front porch.

Shouldn't really talk like that in mixed company...

I'm glad you 'appreciate' my comments as I appreciate yours (why you are the only poster on this site I keep on ignore). That way I can selectively read or not read your comments.

You can do whatever you want, haul whatever you want, don't matter to me in the slightest but keep in mind that you get the 'right' officer at the right time and you'll get pinched. Only a matter of time. Kind of like playing Russian Roulette. You never know when that chamber is the one with the cartridge in it. Getting time to go bale your mushroom grass isn't it?

You are the big operator here, I'm small potatoes and frankly, I like it that way just fine. Have a nice day....

I really don’t care what officer pulls me over. I have the motor vehicle code completely on my side and the judges around here don’t mess around when it comes to cops who harass truckers. Anyone who posts in public forums as you have that trucks are allowed to be 108 wide and cannot carry AG products over 102/108 is so deeply misinformed that the information should be taken down.

You really oughta think about the misinformation you post when it comes to the LAW or SAFETY before you get someone hurt or in trouble.

”All in fun”?
Stating the legal width limit is “108” and then calling someone FOS because they correct you that its 102” along with your continual misinformation (remember when you were incorrect on trailer length with round bales with TxJim about a week ago) tells me you have issues with facts.

Give it a rest, it's getting old. I forget you are the 'expert' in everything including growing mulch hay (grass) for mushroom growers.

Why I keep you on ignore.

For someone “ignoring“ me, you sure reply to all my comments quickly.
My last post only took you 2 hours. You can’t resist sidecarflip.

I selectively look at your drivel and then poke a bit. You are extremely easy, must be a leftist too.

 

[5030]

You know I never replied to your nasty profanity laced PM's either. You are quite the 'operator'.

Looks like this thread has turned into a pi$$ing contest. I often wonder what the prize is for winning such a contest...

My guess is that there isn't much of a prize, so why would anyone want to participate...

I'm not entirely convinced it is not shtick for our entertainment. These two go at it all of the time, just about any topic, but I guarantee you if either was in a pinch the other would help out in a heartbeat.

They'd both be standing on the side of the road arguing how long the legal limit is on the tow strap while the cop's writting them both up for not giving way.

It's bad when you have to go through 117 comments to see discover that only about three of them answer the original question.

Maybe everyone needs to heed Thumpers advice "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all."

Actually, I was correcting him on legal width limits. It wasn’t ”arguing”.
I copied and pasted the law from the Title 75 Statues so nobody would take his misinformation and get ticketed for being over width, or worse, cause an accident.

Maybe you should look at it that way, too.
I’m not the type to “whistle past the graveyard” if someone could be helped from an accident or a heavy fine.

Why did the thread drift to trucking regulation from Farm TRACTOR engine modifications? Personally I don't care about trucking regulations. If I delete DPF from my TRACTOR the state troopers will not swarm my property to inspect my little machine. We don't even have emissions requirement for vehicles in my county. No building codes or inspections for anything I do on my property. No permits to build anything including septic systems or ponds.

Only reason I know the federal gov exists because they pay people to do stupid stuff in the National Forest and and now and then clear cut sections only to leave most of the wood on the ground to become a fire hazard.
