Buying Advice Diesel smog emission stuff?

   / Diesel smog emission stuff? #81  
One thing struck me when I was reading the manual for my new L3902: this was not a tractor that I could ever loan out. The procedures, controls, and instructions were just too complicated for people who just go 'hammer down' when it comes to accomplishing work. When the instrument panel lights up or buzzers start going off, DPF/regen would be defeated, inhibited or the tractor would be shut off...and I probably wouldn't learn about it until I got the bill.

If getting someone to stop and clean the radiator screen when a normal tractor shows signs of overheating is too much (in spite of being repeatedly told), then the DPF and regens are far above their pay grade.

Yeah and this is the reason I now do the small amount of work for my father in law instead of letting him borrow the tractor.

Wooo the diesel emissions debate. One thing I can say is... Diesel emission systems do not in anyway contribute to the longevity of a diesel engine. Mahindra does use EGR like every other manufacturer. Tig welder 16 inches of SS pipe and Amazon.com it doesn't anymore though along with the DOC.

Considering Mahindra's size 15 footprint in the global tractor market (top tractor seller in the world, by volume of units sold), I don't see this as an issue. That article was published in 2014. Mahindra business has not been impacted by their EGR T4 engine designs yet, in nine years...

Their smaller engines are made by Yanmar, and they have a platinum reputation within the industry. Mahindra still offers seven years on the power train warranty.

Say what you will, but Mahindra's market success, globally, is hard to argue against. If Mahindra tractors, and their EGR T4 engines, were garbage, the global market would chase after other brands. Cheers!

What percentage of Mahindra’s sales are in countries that have T4 or comparable emission standards?

I’m not denying that statement but they sell the vast majority of their tractors to countries that are too busy burning tires for power generation to worry about diesel exhaust.

I just told you they were the 3rd best selling tractor in the USA.
