Love my 2015 model Kubota B3350SU, hate the issues I am having with regen. Read on if you think you can help...
I dropped this question into another thread on tips and tricks, but it was getting buried, so I wanted to start this separately.
Symptom: During normal operation, the yellow regen light comes on, the tractor is at full throttle and if I use the tractor to do anything "heavy load" it immediately dies and will not crank at all. (crank inhibit it appears) At that point the regen light on the dash will flash and the key does nothing (engine/oil/batt lights all on). I can walk away for 20-30 minutes and come back and it will start right up and the regen light will be solid. I use the tractor normally and the light goes out. The tractor operates normal after that.
The manual says its supposed to buzz or beep and then flash before cutoff, but it never makes a sound. When the regen light comes on I try to let it sit and "park regen" but it does not seem to do that. So I usually just drive it around until the light goes out. When I operate the tractor I always, always run it full throttle ESPECIALLY if the regen light is on. I only idle it down when I need to get off for a sec or before I shut it off.
Tractor has only 100 hours on it and it regens every 30 hours or so (more when brushcutting).
Any ideas? My dealer says I am crazy because it starts back up.
Thanks,
Randy
