DPF Regen

[Oiltech]

I read the manual on my M7060 and I think I have a basic understanding of how it works and when to perform the Regen. Any of you have any experience with this?

If it is like my M135GX it's almost a non-issue except that it takes about 15 minutes for a regen so I plan ahead to make sure I am doing something rather than waste fuel doing a static regen. I've never had mine regen while doing something easy like stacking bales so I don't know how it handles a job like that. My regens have been chopping hay, baling hay, plowing and disking., all under a pretty good load except for corners which did not cause me to change my method. I do set one of the lines on my display to DPF %plugged so I can predict the event. Once it is regenerating, however, I only know it is happening by the indicator light, the flashing %plugged display and a slight change in exhaust note. A habit I have is to press auto whenever I start so I don't forget about it when a regen is due but I did forget one day. I noticed the regen was due when a light started flashing so I punched the auto button and the regen started like normal.

Thanks for the reply, on an average how many hours of engine time do you think the regen occurs?

I have an SVL90 that has the DPF, I only have 150 hrs on it and its only gone into regen mode twice. If you lug your machine or let it idle a lot it will go into regen mode more often. I do have the ability to postpone it if I'm not running hard or if I'm about to stop working, other than that, when it is doing it I don't even notice it.
