Another 17 pages of right wing whining. I periodically take a break from this site after it regularly degenerates into this right wing bullshit. See Ya!

Mine ck4010) is at about 20 hours, but the button isn’t involved. The light comes on, it starts regen, and you keep on working. Just up the engine speed to 2400 rpm or so. Typically the cycle pauses after a few minutes, presumably to limit max temperature in the DPF, then resumes and...

I’m fairly certain the “Cummins” engines in the TYM tractors are actually A series engines, which were originally designed and produced by Onan in the late seventies. Cummins eventually bought Onan, probably in the late 80s or 90s, and integrated them into their generator business. The A...

Mine is a 74 hp Case 8800 lb machine. It’s been fine for personal use. The earlier machines had harness issues from what I have seen but that’s been fixed. New Holland sells essentially the same machine wit different paint and graphics. It replaced a Deere wheeled skid steer. The Kioti...

Apparently the really inexpensive units lack pilot controls, from what I gather, but that feature is there on the upscale versions. Pilot control would be desirable. I missed my chance at a Kubota version at our local municipal auction a number of years ago. It was diesel powered and went for...

I don’t know what happened, but this forum has pretty much become unuseable because of the annoying and incessant ads. Someone ruined a good thing. I won’t be back!

All modern diesel cars have limp home mode, DPF regeneration, and SCR after treatment. So do light and heavy duty Diesel trucks. So does construction equipment of any size. So what’s the point?

But they figured it out, didn’t they? That old 6.6l engine put out around 146 hp ( from memory) had open chamber heads and severely retarded cam timing, low compression, and a carburetor, but still put out probably five times the emissions the modern 6.2 l engine does. The 6.2 has efi, higher...

At one time the manufacturers all offered different displacement engines to differentiate the incremental power differences between models. IH had 155 and 179 three; 206, 239, 268 and 239 turbo four; 310, 358, and 402 and 358 turbo six cylinder engines, all on the same platform. This made...

Kioti dealer is about 5 miles away. I have to drive past the Kioti store every time I go to the grocery store another five miles up the road. Good inventory and they have mobile service. Deere is maybe 12 -15 miles away in the other direction. Kubota and Mahindra, along with another Deere...

You’re oversimplifying and obviously don’t understand the chemistry and physics of NOx formation.

I have four Stihl saws, a consumer grade ms171, farm grade 29 and 310, and a pro grade 460. I wouldn’t recommend spending the extra money for pro grade unless you use it like a ro. The cheap light 181 is fine for limbing and yard cleanup, the 029 are fine for most of my tree removal and...

I bought the 4010 for use with a front snowblower. I have added a box blade, landscape rake, and now a flail mower. With the exception of the rake, all the other implements could use more power on occasion, so I wouldn’t recomm the 2610 at all. The box blade is traction limited sometimes as...

Dewalt or Bosch. I have probably a half dozen or more Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and find them disappointing compared to their Dewalt counterparts
