Cost of a new dpf filter for an L60? Just curious.

[SDT]

I've read costs for car and light trucks dpfs run from like 2.5k to over 6k$.

Any dealers care to look up and share the cost of a replacement dpf for say a l5460?

Just curious.

Manual says cleaning or replacement at 3000h, and hopefully in the next few years the technology for cleaning them will continue to improve and get cheaper. And hopefully they really do last at least that long...

Before deciding not to buy an L6060, I insisted that my dealer give me a price for replacing the DPF filter. After some coaxing they came back with "around $3,500."

as I understand, there should be some core credit for the DPF filters as well. These things are so new that we're not really replacing any yet.

Let's see - DPF has mandatory 5 year 3,000 hour warranty, so unless someone has an accident and smashes one its unlikely to see one move on anything but large ag tractors for several years, at least that a customer would have to pay for. Then, too, the DPF should be good for at least 2 cleanings so 10,000 hours to need replacing unless it's damaged by misuse. Maybe I am too optimistic but having been involved in field testing for up to ten thousand hours with no failures, I would guess that unless Kubota really screwed something up I would think the DPF would be a non factor on off highway after trucking got to debug.
