Lots of talk from Washington DC about repealing some of the emissions on pickups and semis. Can we delete the DPF on farm tractors legally?

More to it than just done "legally". Most tractors that have emissions crap on them are run by an electronic brain box that in most cases needs to be reprogrammed to run without the emissions system in place.

Been there, done that.

I don't really like the diesel smell. But it is what it is.

Legal or not, most have computers that will put the engine in limp mode if you do. A law wont change that.

It'd be nice if they removed some emission laws for vehicles and tractors retroactively, but I seriously doubt that'll happen.

And is that talk really from D.C.? Facebook or Tik Tok sounds more likely.

I have all the stuff to delete my '17 Ram, bought shortly after buying it, but it's all still in the boxes since it runs just fine as is.

Let me know when you find someone reprogramming them

My father's L2800 is a better tractor than my 3301. Yet when I get on his, the first thing I notice is the smell.

I may be finding out the true cost of emissions however; mine has about 1100 hours and I am starting to notice it doesn't run clean on startup.
Conversely, if I run the RPMs on his high enough I don't notice it.

I have wondered this with some JD's. Not deleting emissions persay, but running more preferred emissions. In 2015 JD added a DPF to their 3 cylinder 5E series. (I own a 5075E, so I don't want to speak on what or when they added any given emission systems to any other given machines, as I don't know for certain, even if I have a good idea as to the correct answers) In 2023 JD changed the 3 cylinder 5E from using a DPF to using a DOC like MF and a few others sometimes use. I believe a DOC works more like a catalytic converter which just naturally gets really hot, and burns up carbon emissions as opposed to trapping the emissions and using fuel to ignite the trapped emissions in the canister once it fills to a certain level, i.e. what's referred to as a regen cycle. I'm sure the computers would not be happy trying to switch one over to the other. I'd much rather use a catalytic converter than a diesel particulate filter if I had to choose one evil over the other.
