Newer on-road diesels have a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to trap the soot emmissions which are considered a carcinogen. Once the DPF starts to reach capacity the engine enters a "regeneration" cycle where it injects fuel into the exhaust to raise exhaust gas temps and burn the soot into smaller ash particles. What's this mean to you?......increased complexity of the engine (higher purchase cost) and decreased fuel economy.

I'm happy these new emmission standards don't apply to our tractors and will gladly wipe a little soot from my loader stand.
