I read his post and it makes perfect sense to me. As a dealership service coordinator I see DPF system complaints and symptoms all too often. The comment about running times and operating temperatures are spot on. The vast majority of problems are related to short run times, low operating temps and operating engines at too low RPM. Getting operators to run these machines the way DPF systems demand is a major challenge.

Spot on. I have been using my L6060 for some light work for a few days and the PM has been rising quickly - to 92% when I started today. Today's job was hauling heavy loads of stumps to our brush burn area 3 miles round trip full speed. PM was down to 78% when I finished. Needs to be worked.

Old thread revived

Is the ZD1511 Regens iron out now ?
I know they were a nightmare to start with & dealers had ther inventory put on hold because of it.

I own a ZD1211 & wanting a ZD1511.

I’ve found a new leftover weathered 2018.

No, and it won't be until the changeover is made to the new common rail engine.

New member here, use to frequent the orange tractor talks forums, but it seems theres a few members there that seem to know it all and they would discount replies except their own to peoples questions.
Anyways i have owned a 2015 B3350 since 50 hrs, now 4 yrs later i have 680 hours and i love it, other than a blown hyd steering hose( a real chore to swap) it has run perfect, summer and -25 winters, keep rpms up and let it eat the fuel, never any regen problems. It would still be my go to tractor if sitting on the lot and i was tractor shopping.

Yeah, you don't want to buy anything with any new technology or advertised improvements because it's never going to work or last like the old stuff. Like cars in the 50s and 60s that were wore out by 60,000 miles and tires that got maybe 10,000 miles and them 8 track tape players. Course these ole modern auto transmission cars with 200,000 to 300,000 miles and tires that get 40,000 to 60,000 miles are a fluke. NEVER GO NEW, DIFFERENT OR ADVERTISED IMPROVED because they are made to self destruct soon so you have to buy another one!!! :shocked::thumbdown::cool2: Oh, my NEW L3901 HST (NO NOT GEAR DRIVE) should be here today since they didn't deliver it yesterday. 20+ Kubotas from Barlows!:cool2:

Barlow, isn't that a pocket knife?

That is a BS statement you just made. What is the REAL reason you are discontented ?

My ZD1511 has 204 hrs and just completed it's 20th regen (I keep record). With exception of the very first regen, it has operated trouble free. IIRC, the B3350 has the same engine as ZD1511. Mowed some really high thick grass today and the machine never dropped an rpm that I could tell --- extremely powerful engine for a lawn mower.
