Mowing Kubota ZD1511 Only does parked regens!

[SDT]

Dealer I bought from did a forced regen before I took delivery of my 1511.
I have had no issues at all with 115 hrs showing. It's been through a lot of regens for sure. About one every 15 hrs.

They are required to do so.

That does not mean that all do.

So I love my new ZD1511 but these parked regens are driving me nuts! I look like an idiot sitting in the middle of my side acreage waiting 30 minutes for it to complete. Every 11 hours on the nose it goes from no lights to warning buzzer demanding a parked regen. The dealer is coming out Tuesday afternoon to hook up to the computer but anyone else having this consistent of a problem? I run full throttle and I mow for about an hour and 15 minutes at one time and always check the display before I shut it off.

Depending upon your serial number, there may well be upgrades that must be done.

Yes. There are Kubota REGEN service actions available but only as needed, as per dealer service tech. So, if you are having regen issues, you should consult with your Kubota dealer.

My 1511 regens about every 11 hours religiously. It is a royal pain if it happens just as you are finishing. I keep a record of each regen in a small notebook and plan accordingly for using the mower. That works for me because I have two large properties to mow and I don't mow all at once.

If I had it to do over again, I'd go with the 1211 with air ride seat installed by the dealer.

Sunnyside, now that you’ve had the ZD1511 a while : how are you liking It as far as the regens ?

I’m wanting one to go with my current ZD1211 72 but scared of the regen trouble.

I mow at WOT 8+ hrs per week.

The B3350 replacement (LX3310) with common rail injection is now available.

Though I've yet to hear anything, one would expect that the same common rail engine will be used in 4 cylinder ZT and F series mowers.

Wait.

*Available* is a relative term. Few, if any have shipped yet. Regarding common rail engines in mower applications we all can’t wait. But I bet we will wait until all existing current engine stock is depleted.

I trade down from a 3350 to a 2380 .....just saying!

Of course.

Advise still relevant.

Wait.

I now have about 200 hrs on mine and haven't had any failures with the ZD1511. When it does a REGEN I don't even know it except the indicator illuminates for apprix 0.5 hrs while running. I run at 2500 rpms as instructed by the dealer tech and mow very fast, never ever run out of power. My wife thinks I'm nuts running so fast but I have a lot of yard to mow at two different places.

My biggest beef is if it's doing a REGEN and I'm done mowing but have to run longer to complete the REGEN before stopping.

Wait until you start it up to change the oil, move to another location, etc., and the regen lamp comes on.

Really annoying.
