My kubota mx5200 dt tractor was finally delivered the other day. After I have read the EIGHT pages in the owners manual on the regen system, I still have some questions.
First, for a regen to complete sucessfully, book says that 3 conditions have to be met and stay consistant or else regeneration will be interrupted. Engine coolant temp, dpf temp, and rpms must be above 1200. Here is my first question, how on a gear transmission, where rpms go up and down when shifting, how do you keep rpms always above 1200? Is it that important that rpms ALWAYS stay above 1200 or if rpms drop below to shift, does that bother the regen or interupt it? Would interupting the regen like when shifting or such be bad for the engine or dpf?
If tractor was an hst transmission, then the rpms would always stay up, or if I was bushhogging in open field with gear shift tractor, then rpms would be esy to keep above 1200. But doing tasks like loader work, or other short distance utility work, a gear tractor rpms are always fluctuating.
Am I over thinking this?
Also, tasks like bush hogging or woods work, with dry grass or leaves around, is it ok to leave tractor in auto regen mode, or better to inhibit and take tractor to less flamable location later when job is done?
I would like to think this emission stuff isnt that bad, but it is starting out to be a pain and frustration so far for me.
How are you guys regening your kubota, what transmission are you using, and any helpful tips you have learned?
Please help!
