50 hours
Mowing yard with 72" MMM
Noticed funny smell, hot/burning - if you have been around equipment you know the smell of HOT no matter what it is
Check gauges and all I see was white light with spray nozzle looking emblem. No words on info screen.
All seems normal, no extra smoke noticed or loss of power.
Kept mowing, noticed temp gauge climb - went from normal 1/3 running range in green portion to 2/3s in green portion on way to red area 9
Basically doubled in heat according to the gauge.
Went into info display, Filter at 100% soot level at 99%
Ran another 5 to 10 mins checked and still hotter on gauge, noticed my legs getting warmer and more heat coming off tractor between my legs, i was wearing shorts so very noticeable.
It ran for another 20 mins and over that time the Filter stayed at 100% and the soot level went down to 60 - 40 etc.....%
Regen light was still on, when I finished mowing after about a half hour. Drove to shop and idled it down and it would not go below 1500 rpm - shut it off, started it back up and it said increase engine speed........ran it up to 1800 rpm and let it sit with parking brake on, after about 5 to 10 more mins regen light went out.
Info center says filter 0% soot level 0%
I let it idle for about another 5 mins till temp range got back down to where it normally is. Pulled into shop and shut it off.
Interesting experience - the alarming smell of hot was good to experience so i dont panic next time, i have had a skid steer catch fire and had to escape it and watch it burn up, i am a little jumpy still from that ;-)
