This light just came on.....

Do a search on emission stuff on this forum. You'll find loads of threads about these subject. Once you read it, you'll understand much better what the tractor is doing and why the thing decided to clean.

The problems with emissions we often read here, are caused by the owners not running the tractors hard enough or from the owners cancelling too many regens. Then the DPF will get plugged more and more over time.

EDIT: Was going through the RK55 manual, they also mentioned on another page that the light means that the exhaust is over 400 degrees. Basically meaning that you're working the tractor hard enough for the DPF to be happy.

So am I working it good enough, not hard enough or park it and open the throttle wide open??? Lol

Go back to what you were doing. Don't shut the tractor off until light goes out. If you finish work first then leave it running full throttle til light goes out.

Makes sense. Thanks brother

Learned some stuff. The light went off. I went back to mowing and it shut off. Thank you to those of you that are patient.

Just to be clear. That light doesn't mean that you have a problem on your tractor. According to the manual, there is another light if there is a in fact a problem or malfunction.

That’s what I figured. After some back and forth on here. Prior to today I didn’t think the manual was poorly written. Maybe it’s not for those that have been farming and using tractors for the better part of their lives. Crazy how posting on here returned better answers and understanding than the manual did.

Thank you again for the help.

No worries. I'll see if any of the Branson manuals I have, explain the emissions thing a bit better. If so, I'll post here. I doubt it though.

Glad it all worked out Gunny.

 

[gunny0628]

Me too. Funny thing is I go back to mowing so it will finish and my fuel gauge starts blinking. Talk about adding some stress to the whole “don’t turn it off” thing. Ugh! Worked out and I learned more from the experience and the help on here than I did the manual.

I always read the entire manual when I get equipment. Then when I start getting use time I have a little better chance of knkwing what's going on. I struggle with the wording in manuals. I think there's some loss in translation.
