DEF going away ?

Tow it in, throw it out?

Didn't have my watch with me today, but spent several minutes waiting for regen to complete before I could finish mowing today. The problem is I don't need to operate at high rpm to mow this late in the season, but if I don't operate at a high rpm, the regen cycle kicks in. This is the stupidest system.

Yes. It is a stupid solution. A stupid solution by lazy engineers whose companies all copied one another.

It's a dumb solution and even worse by engineering standards, it is an inefficient one.
That can happen when legislation instead of innovation is allowed to drive a manufacturing timetable.

Emissions needed to be reduced. We all know that.

But the way that industry decided to control emissions is incredibly dumb. Not only is it way too complicated, it has the built in problem that running an engine at high RPM to create heat also creates even more pollutants that have to be removed. It's chasing it's own tail.

Dumb, dumb, dumb...but well-meaning legislation, lazy engineers, and uncaring manufacturers.

People who say manufactures will not do it because of other countries still require it, I disagree. A good example would be military vehicles like trucks do not have this BS installed. That is why if you buy one in an auction they will say not legal for road use or title. So if they are already doing it for the military it will be nothing to do it for the public market. They know this will save them money also after the sale having to work on warranty issues.

All they have to do is make a new tune and redesign the exhaust. It wild to think they wouldn’t do an easy mod to save thousands of dollars per truck plus cut the warranty work and make customers extremely happy.
