DPF Regeneration driving me crazy...

[jyoutz]

Lot of post's on here about how stupid it is to worry about your tractor going into regen , but it's only stupid if it's not your tractor, I don't own a tractor that needs to regen so I can't say, but I did work out of a 125' hi line bucket truck that was mounted on a Peterbilt semi with a Paquar engine and we had trouble with it every few weeks going into limp mode and having to do forced regen's so it left a bad taste in my mouth with the whole works because in the other 34 years of me doing my job working out of bucket trucks , log skidders, rough terrain cranes etc, all powered with diesel engines we rarely ever had an issue with a diesel engine, they were workhorse's , not setting around in limp mode. Lastly, if man lives in a place to where he can be told that he can't own a wood stove to build a fire in to warm his azz, he needs to get the hell out of there, plenty of places where you can still have a wood stove and build a fire.

I had a VW TDI car that did regeneration and I never had an issue with that after 200k miles. So when I bought my new tractor, I never had a concern about that.

Do your research and only buy what meets your needs. New Holland (2015 til) has auto regeneration with no assistance needed from operator. That sold me!

The only assistance needed from the operator on most tier 4 tractors is to increase RPMs until the cycle is over.

Keep your RPM's...hot engines are clean ones

No, you have to put it in park or it wont start the regen cycle, and if you just rev up, it cant be used for any work at that high a rev, Ive tried it...

Something is terribly wrong with your tractor. You are the ONLY one on here that has to put his tractor in Park for it to regenerate. All the rest of us just keep on doing what we were doing. Regen light goes on, then 15 minutes or so later it goes back off again when the cycle is done.

It sounds like he's ignoring the lights until it goes into a forced regen.

Something to consider is that for the early Kubota L series dpf systems (pre 2016?) the tractor was by default in "dpf inhibit" mode and the switch had to be depressed to allow an automatic Regen. It's possible that this was just for the L60 series, and may not apply to the L01 series.
Anyway, watching for the Regen light and raise rpm light should allow for an automatic Regen.

If that is true then i would be getting a different tractor, I know my friends Ls doesnt have to be parked for a regen.

Neither do Kubotas

government, along with their environmental lobbyists have little regard for the average rural American and really not much for science unless it suits their agenda......No speech here just plain fact.

The math goes like this; Our atmosphere is comprised of 78% nitrogen, 21 % Oxygen, and 0.93% Argon. This leaves about 0.07 % of the atmosphere for all other gases which are mostly greenhouse gases. So we must consider these as trace gases? Of the trace gases about 90-95 % is water vapor (has some variance, with cloud cover being the leading variable)......the rest is Co2, roughly 5-10 % of this trace gas (if you assign the math) Of this trace gas, man made Co2 is less than 7% . (With natural occurring co2 being the dominate source.) So when the math gets done, we have less than 0.005 % of man made C02 occupying our atmosphere.

Don't get me wrong I want clean air and water and I think limiting particulate soot and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere is a good thing. But blowing up peoples livelihoods by promoting climate change hysteria is about as dishonest as you can get. So to keep up with the general topic of this re-gen thread, I would simply offer this; Where are the priorities when average rural people are being held hostage to a climate change ideology? We see that the math tells us we can do little to affect climate change. As far as particulate release from diesel, high RPM reduces this to a bare minimum and you don't need a regen to do that. As the guy from Texas has said, "run your equipment hard and hot" and you inadvertently do your part. I suppose that many compact tractor owners may not run their tractors at higher rpms so I get why they might be "subjugated", but eliminating choice and freedom using environmental obligation by indoctrination is simply a lie. The question is; does government have your best interest in mind when they intervene in your lifestyle......?

Are you old enough to remember the disgusting brown air of the 1960-70s that made your chest hurt and sinuses wheeze whenever you went outside? Vehicle emissions are much cleaner today and the brown air is pretty much a thing of the past. I’m glad that government intervened with vehicle emissions.
