Kubota Regeneration

Will_C · Sep 16, 2019

Have had my L3560 for about 15 months. I have 150 hours on it. It has regenerated 6 times-each time has been around 25 hours plus or minus an hour or two. I was just wondering about others experiences. Probably 80-90% of the hours have been at 540 PTO speed using a RFM, a tiller, or a bush hog. Is this close to what people are seeing with their Grand L's?
Thanks,
Will

Yes, what you are describing sounds about right.

2019 Kubota 7060HD12. First regen at 27 hours, and second one today at 54 hours.

My L4060 has gone through 6 regens averaging 54 hours between. Mostly loader work, occasional mowing at PTO speed, and maybe 20 hours of winter plowing per year.

About what I've seen on my L4060 at 350 hours or so. Maybe 20ish hours between regens. No issues at all emissions wise.

A tractor mechanic told me if one is getting 25-30 hours between regens they need to stay with their fuel supplier. He said regens has really been a headache for repair people in trying to reduce regens for people trying to use the cheapest fuel they can find if it is labeled for a diesel.

Has anyone tried those additives for DPFs? I've seen on other forums, people using this stuff with very good results. It helps with the regeneration process.

This one is from CRC but for some reason is only listed on the EU site and not on the US site.

Liqui Moly also makes a similar product that works nicely.

Thanks to all who replied. It makes me feel better that my intervals are on similar to others. I don't know anyone with DEF tractor, so no information there.

Thanks
