Kubota Regen Warranty Policy Change?

I have a Kubota ZD 1511-72 Z-turn mower which uses the exact same engine as the B3350 according to dealer tech. I had identical same experience you described for my first regen. Dealer tech came over with his laptop and found the same code your tractor had. That was over 1.5 yrs ago and I've had NO regen issues since with over 140 hrs on the meter. It regens about every 10 to 11 hrs so that's more than 12 or 13 regens since new. I've heard most all B3350's and ZD1511's run and regen without issues after the first regen. My first regen service call was covered by Kubota -- no problem there.

Recently had my Kubota RTV-X1100 over at the dealer for 600 hr maintenance. The service tech asked me how the ZD1511 was running since that first regen failure. He said if I had any problems to call them because there was another software change to help eliminate the regen issues but only as required.

That's good to hear, Sunnyside.

I expect that the other update is the update in question in my tractor.

When did you buy your ZD?

Bought my ZD1511-72 new in April/May 2017. Kubota tech said to operate at full throttle after start/warmup and likely won't have any regen trouble. So, that's what I do since it is just a mowing machine. However, I can't see running a tractor at full throttle for all the tasks I use them for. None of my tractors have the Tier IV DPF system -- 2011 Kubota M110X, 2007 John Deere 3720 Cab, and 2010 John Deere 4320 open station.
