Two months later I traded it in on a Brand New 2750e Massey Ferguson Utility Tractor with NO DPF and NO REGEN. Just and EGR and DOC.
Others correct me if I'm wrong...but when I was doing my research, shopping for a new tractor, I learned that tractors using the DOC versus the DPF still need to be run hot and hard. That "C" in DOC stands for catalyst - and that catalyst won't burn off soot if it is not hot. Owner's manuals still had warnings to not idle the tractor too much - just as the owner's manual in my Kubota (DPF) does.
The DOC system means that regeneration is going on continuously, versus every so many hours as happens with a DPF system.
Good luck with your new tractor, hope it works out well for you.
