Compact Tractor Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) Version 2.0

[5030]

My Dodge Ram truck with Cummins has been completely trouble free for he past 150k miles.

Different animal, you have DEF, smaller tractors only have a DPF. I believe you have to exceed 90 pto to have DEF on a tractor. Got a buddy with a newer King Ranch who has his DPF plugged up and has to be replaced. Issue is, across the board there are over 150 on back order so he ain't the only one. Not driveable, motor has derated.

$300 seems cheap for ten+ years of use.

Kubota claims 2500 regens before replacement. None issue with me, my units are pre 4.

Keep in mind that is the cost presently, not in the future and it don't include labor.

My Cummins is pre-DEF

You didn't state the year and I'm not a mind reader.

Then why are you equating that to a Tier 4 tractor.

They are completely different animals.

L2501 is one of Kubota's highest unit volume models. It is also a legally dirty bugger.
Kubota's L3301 is the same tractor with eight additi onal horsepower and requisite Tier IV paraphernalia. Your money, your choice.

The claim that an L2501 and L3301 are the same tractor with different hp levels and engine management systems is false.
You really need to check on some of the stuff you post here. Many folks have the mistaken impression you don't post falsehoods.
An L2501 meets the same emission standards as any machine in its HP class. The insinuation that it doesn't is misleading at the very least.


Close enough for a complete tractor neophyte seeking guidance.

You loose sight of the forest for the trees........besides being sanctimonious.

Close enough for a complete tractor neophyte seeking some guidance.

One of the few things worse than being wrong is being unable to admit to being wrong. Tractor "neophytes" deserve the best guidance, not a bunch of inaccurate generalizations. Those that seek tractor knowledge seem to think you are well informed. Some of us with more experience than you do pay attention to your comments.
There are several significant differences between an L2501 and an L3301 aft of the flywheel, the most significant have been documented here.
Step up your game.

The L3301 isn't the same tractor as the L2501 with just 8 additional horsepower and Tier IV emissions.

According to tractordata, they are both Tier IV.
The L3301 has a 1.8 liter engine.
The L2501 has a smaller, 1.6 liter engine.

Certainly both are Tier IV compliant.
Tier IV exempts tractors <25.4794 horsepower from Tier IV standards.
The L2501 is dirty.

Nope. Both have DPF and no DEF

Every off-road Diesel engine has to meet the emissions limits for the horsepower range the engine occupies. None, including the engine fitted to the L2501, is exempt.
