Generic DPF filter delete.

Really don't matter to me. I don't do emissions diesels anyway and never plan on it.

I was replying to the guy asking about Ecodiesel deletes.

Stan, I thought he was talking tractors since this is a tractor site. My tractor says Ecodiesel on the side of it.

Huh, interesting. The only Ecodiesel I am aware of is the trademark owned by Stelantis.

When I went to purchase a new tractor last year, I was terrified of the new Tier IV engines. Now at 275 hours on my NX, I am not as concerned. Would I like to go back to pre Tier IV, absolutely. But after the first year, I have not seen a real issue with the system. I don't idle any less than I used to with my 2003 Kubota. I let the engine warm up at around 1500 rpm. Once I get going, I generally stay at 2000 rpm or more. Regens occur at maybe every 30 hours or so. Usually they occur when I am in the middle of something, so no big deal. Only once did I have to park and let it do its thing for 20 minutes. Living in Canada, with temps regularly minus 20 or colder, it does take some time to warm up the engine to operating temperatures, but it doesn't seem to affect the time between regens. Having said that, I am almost always out for more than a hour at a time. If you are out for short bursts, that might make a difference. I do hope that before the DPF packs in that there will be an EASY way to bypass. That's what I like about this forum. There are always smart people that find answers and share with the community. PTSG, I do agree with you that people think they have to always have the engine pegged to avoid any problems. Don't overthink this Tier IV thing in my opinion. I do feel for those that are having problems with their system, but I am thinking it is a small percentage?? Thanks to all for sharing their experiences.

For real, you’re not going to see a problem in the first year hopefully. You are extremely likely to see a problem in the 5th year if you’re using the tractor.

I’d like to also say to those who think this is so naughty, that they should put another mask on.

Where’s the guy who is usually on these threads proclaiming that the dpf filter will outlast the tractor? That’s a big lol also.

I’ve owned dpf regulated vehicles since 2007 which has led me to have a quite negative view of the technology

This is on the hood of my tractor.

At around 770 hours my DPF filter had already been cleaned. Due to a turbo seal oil leak the DPF was considered junk by Kioti and replaced under warranty. Trust me I had my share of pains with regen problems and limp modes. So far since then it has been okay. I'm at 1201 hours as of today.

Sorry about the long post. Thought this might be the best place to find answers.

A friend has a 2020 Branson 4820R, manufactured date of 7/2020. He gutted the dog and turned the fuel up half turn. Runs very well and barely puffs a bit of smoke when cracking the throttle open fast. Since doing so, the dpf light and check engine light is on. At first it was just the check engine light. Then he disconnected the dpf control box and both lights came on. Along with loss of gauges. Connected the dpf box and gauges work but now the check engine and dpf light is on. Don't think there is much to worry about with the lights sense this is a mechanically injected engine.

Reason I'm asking is I have the same tractor and was thinking of doing this to mine. Is there a way to clear the check engine and dpf lights? Or just don't worry about them?

The only way is going to be to tinker with things and see what works.
I expect you have a differential pressure sensor and a couple of temperature sensors.
With a bit of ingenuity either the signals or the sensors can be fooled.

Tried unplugging sensors, plugging hoses, etc. Lights still stay on. Not that worried about it. We are just annoyed by the lights. Might try tracing the wires from the data logger that go to the gauges. The other wires should be for the dof system and could be de pinned from the main harness plug.

Maybe a clever person could come up with a piggy back adapter plug that only utilizes the dash gauges and not the dpf wiring. Plug that between the harness and data logger.
