New Kubota Grand L4760 HSTC Tier 4

[JimP]

I went from a 5240 that I put 900 hours on to a 5460. I've put 200 hours on the 5460 so far. No problems and regens have been a non-event. The PM (particulate) meter goes up to 100% as you run. When it hits 100% the dash ask to raise rpm if less than 1800 or just goes into regen if above 1800. I keep working while the tractor is in regen. 20-30 minutes later the regen is over and the PM meter reads 0. I get a regen every 15 to 30 hours depending on how hard the tractor has worked.

If you run it open around 2100 hundred rpm, The pm meter will go down when working the tractor.

I have an L3560 with 900 hours. Tier IV equipment has been problem free. My regenerations occur about once every 60 engine hours and last 16 minutes.

Much of my use is moving stuff with the loader. This is pretty light duty and PM builds up whether I run at 1500 or 2200. When I am plowing snow or brushogging I have seen the PM reading stay the same or go down slightly.

Good information for potential buyers.....I could have purchased the L6060 but was able to purchase my like new (320 hrs) Grand L for under $29K. Just a few years old. I do a lot of putting around and low RPM loader work. My OCD would have me worried or thinking about idling and what not. But price drove me to the Grand L Cab 5740 over the Grand L Cab 6060. Probably saved like $10 thousand to $15 thousand bucks. Money that can be used toward a batwing cutter. Had the 6060 been cheaper would have bought that.....financing was not a concern as I didn't finance.
