The one light shows its doin a burn and the other light with thurnomature (spelled wrong) is warning of hot exhaust.let it do its burn then first light will go out followed by hot exhaust light when it cools down

First, Welcome to TBN......

Yes, the 2 amber lights indicate the regen cycle is running. The red light (bottom left) along with the regen lights indicates you are running in limp mode. RPM will be limited to about 1800 until regen cycle is complete. Of course you know the red P light means the parking brake is on.

All I can suggest is what has worked for me.
1) Always use quality ULSD fuel from a reputable supplier.
2) I always operate the tractor at 2000 RPM or greater, even when just driving around. Higher RPM operation seems to produce less soot build up which reduces regen time and helps prevent it from going into limp mode.
3) Keep your air filter clean.
4) If a regen cycle starts, let it complete before shutting tractor off.
5) I got into a habit of looking at the gauges when I'm getting close to putting the tractor away for the day. If the regen lights are not lit I hold down the regen inhibit button for 3-4 seconds to prevent it from going into regen. This inhibit function will automatically reset to normal once the key is turned off. Prior to doing this it quite often seemed to start a regen cycle just as I wanted to put the tractor away and I would have to let it run at high RPM for30 minutes or so until the regen was complete. To me that is a waste of fuel and I would rather have the regen cycle do its job while I am working the tractor.

1) I have no idea what ULSD is but I use the fuel at my local station and pay the applicable road/sales taxes.
No home heating oil with all it's algae going into my equipment.
2) Check: Always {After suitable warm up in winter) crank up the RPMs to 2000.
It'll help keep all the DPF equipment operating efficiently.
3) Air Filter cleaning...Check. Ya gotta be able to breathe!
4) I couldn't care less if the rewgen cycle is working when I complete my tasks.
It'll pick right up where you left off when you get back to work later, tomorrow or next week.
No matter.
5) If the "Limp Cycle" begins.....What I have done in the past, but this isn't in the manual, is: Shut the tractor down and restart.
In short... Reboot your onboard computer.
That'll sometimes help.

There....My 2 cents worth of advice

Oh, yeah. Don't forget to check for loose bolts (Even frame bolts)
I've caught some of those loosening over time.
Heck, I've had two of them shear right in half.
We work ours hard. Like it was meant to work.
Almost 800 hours now and it just sings.
Great tractor

...thermometer? lol that was a good one. Not hating, we all brain fart like that sometimes. haha.

Thanks guys. Iv had it regen many times just never with the red indicator in the bottom left while the reducing power mode on. I let it regen for about 45 min and the lights all stayed the same so I got a little nervous haha

Great tractor

ULSD is Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel which has less than 15 PPM sulfur.
And I do use home heating oil which is #2 ULSD diesel. Been using it for past 14 years without problem. I do add Power Service (white bottle) to help prevent gelling in winter but Maxify shouldn't need that where he lives.
As Maxify said you can shut it off even though a regen cycle has started. The cycle will restart the next time you run the tractor. I use the inhibit switch because I don't like to interrupt the cycle once it has started.

I may be missing something here, but my XG3037 never goes into limp mode when it regens. I can run at 2500 rpm while mowing and in regen. The regen cycle has no impact on my tractor's performance.

My xr3135 does not go in to Limp mode either. Pretty much maintains full power. People hated limp mode because they couldn't get their work done during Regen. Probably updated the computer to avoid this problem.

As long as the soot level is under 100% the regen cycle can proceed without going into limp mode so you may not notice the regen lights on the dash and can continue working the tractor. When the soot level gets between 100-140% is when the tractor will go into limp mode which limits the RPM to1800 until the cycle is complete. If the soot level gets above 140% the tractor may shut down completely and require a trip to the dealer to clean the DPF and get it restarted.
