I was surprised by the cost quoted for injectors because I have several common rail injectors on a shelf where I display failed parts. So I checked the injector price between my old L5740 with low pressure mechanical injectors and my L6060 with a common rail having electronic injectors. It is about $250 for the L5740 injectors and $650 for the L6060 injectors. My L6060 uses about half the fuel of the L5740 but at the low consumption of either will take a lot of hours to make up the cost difference; however, I bought the L6060 primarily for the cleaner air due to my wife’s asthma problem and that is a huge difference. I notice it too even in the cab.

Interesting.

My L6060 uses more fuel to do the same work as my M9960.

Considerably more.

It should be no surprise that "TractorHouse" currently has 75 B3350 tractors offered for sale. WOW !!! The B3000 model had only a couple for sale.

That is eye opening.

An old thread, but some more info:

An early adopter, I bought my B3350HSDC in Nov 2013. Now, at 790 hours, regens were down to less than 4 hours. The engine was choking on the back pressure. Cost for the new DPF, with new sensors and labor (they also checked the valves) was over $5000.00.

I minimized idle to short warm up and turbo cool down. I moved key to glow plugs on after start until engine smoothed, in short I did everything I could to baby the DPF. The stated 3,000 hour DPF life was a lie. Cost to "run" the DPF, not including the extra fuel it burns, was over $6.25 an engine hour. I'm disgusted.

^^ I thought Kubota was assisting owners with the resolution on the B3350. Moving to the common rail system is one of the reasons I purchased my LX3310.

That has happened in a few cases. Very few.
