Does a geared tractor put a more constant load on the engine vs an HST?
Ya beat me to it. I am also glad I do not own anything DEF and never probably will.All I can say is, I'm sure glad I don't have to deal with any of that.
I will say the only time I see smoke (soot emanate from either of my M9 turbo charged pre 4 diesels) is a little puff on cold start and if I'm working them hard like a full bale chamber or mowing tall hay at a fairly high ground speed. Other than that I se no visible 'particulates', aka: soot and I'd assume your post 4 units exhibit the same characteristics except the particulates get captured in the DPF or in the case of higher power diesels, burned by the oxidation catalyst, aka: DEF.
I will never own a post 4 diesel, ever.
Yeah thats why my soot is at 78% every other day I sat at 1900- 2000 rpm on my 4044r. I dont know that john deere knows how most people use them.Hey guys,
According to this video and John Deer, we should not be using high rpm's on our tractors IF it is not needed. Supposedly people saying it is better for the emissions controls or DOC filters etc. have it backwards. Watch part or all of this video, check out what Deer says and let me know your thoughts?

I don't know about the pollution control, but the engine itself will last longer if you only run it as fast as needed. The only uses that require full throttle are things such as mowing and rototilling. My tractor does not have a DPF, so I don't have to worry about that.Hey guys,
