Neither are replies from the minor few who have had problems.

I like to see what I am in for with the DPF. If I want a new tractor I have to deal with it. Any problems within the 5 year emissions warranty will be repaired and recorded.

Obvious. To most.

I replied earlier-I haven’t had any DPF problems or electronics problem in 8 years and 460 hours. If I had the choice, I’d have a tractor without DPF or the electronics-but if you want a new tractor…. I’d like to buy a truck without a push button start-keys have worked for me for over 45 years… You don’t have much of a choice.

I was looking for a pre tier 4 46 HP tractor used and they were either beat or expensive, or high hours. Settled for a used 2015 Kubota L4760. I run it about 1,500 RPM and it regenerates about every 25 hours. I try not to let it sit and idle like I always used to but I'm not OCD about shutting it off every time I get off of it. I've heard the DPF is good for 3,000 regens which works out to about 6,000 hours - which I'll never live old enough to see.
I'm very happy with the tractor and have put about 120 hours on it since June.

Tread lightly and don’t get in a big hurry. With Trump deep sixing the EPA mandated BS, a lot of that regen crap is going bye bye. Give it some time to see how the manufacturers respond.
