At this point in my life I probably won't either. Couple years ago I was looking at the new Kioti's at the county fair, wife was actually bugging me to replace mine...primarily because the newer ones have a lot more legroom and are much easier to get on/off of. I passed on it, partly because new tractors are expensive, and there's nothing really wrong with mine (other than the legroom issue). Had read a lot of complaints about regen here, but didn't really know what it was. Dealer explained it to me...he kind of downplayed its impact on day-to-day use. Not sure what to believe as far as regen goes...lots of those complaining about regen are the same ones who gripe about E10 gas too, and I've had very few issues with that.
Curiously, what would happen if you just let it slide? Is it like a car with a check engine light where you can still drive it just fine for the most part, or does ignoring it cause serious problems?
when i was a kid worked for a neighbor 1800 rpm , nothing more, he caught me i had the throttle pegged in a versatile 895, when he retired another neighbor bought it , stillgoing theres 13,000 hours on it , dont think much has been done to it
You have a point there. There’s studies showing that diesel engines tested lower soot emissions while running diesel fuels with a higher cetane value
Yep. My experience as well. I have never ignored regen events and just keep working.
The OP is asking about throttle position and doing the least harm to his tractor.... there is nothing to debate. A job needs a set amount of power to achieve. The transaxle is the weakest link (drives the life goal of the tractor) and what everybody should be trying to protect. Higher rpms do no harm and lower the torque through the systems (engine included). Anybody who has pedaled a 10 speed bike should be able to grasp this concept. All I'm saying is error to high side of throttle.... easier on your tractor.
You’re acting like you can predict all tractor designs and makes into a predetermined part lifespan, and that, you, or nobody can do.
If you let it 'slide', what will happen is when it fills up with burned ash (soot), the engine will either derate of the cannister will expand and push the front or rear sealing rings apart and then derate. Seen that happen on Class 8 big trucks many times and when it does, not only will the element have to be replaced because it cannot be cleaned as it's deformed plus the cannister and everything attached to it has to be replaced as well. In a big truck it's referred to as the 'one box' and the bare box itself is in the excess of 1500 bucks not including labor and it's not a warranty item either as it's considered abuse.
