Hello all. New member, Schips here.
Quick question is the emissions on new tractors real headache?
Looking to buy first tractor and am planning on buying more than I need.
Thank you.

Welcome aboard!

Emissions are reported as being a lot better than they were several years ago. Although I might not fear them now, I bought a used tractor at the end of 2019 to avoid them.

I like your mindset

Can't help you with emission tractors. My newest is a 1986.

I personally try to avoid emissions but, the new tractors seem to be relatively trouble free with only minor inconveniences from DPF regens. I don’t know what size tractor and how much power you need but, emissions alone wouldn’t stop me from buying the tractor I want/need.

Welcome Schips, what size (HP) are you considering? There are cutoffs for emissions based on hp. I have a L3901 which has a DPF, Diesel Particulate Filter. It’s recommended to run higher rpms to keep exhaust temps. higher, my tractor will go to regen maybe every 50hrs or so, never been an issue, just up the rpms and keep working until regen is complete 15-20 minutes. Maybe a small issue of I were ready to finish work for the day and the regen light comes on.

I don't have one, my understanding is that you don't want to let them idle at low RPM. Run them hot with more PRM's (My tractor would be dead since I constantly let it run at 1000 rpm's...)

Don’t know yet on HP. My yard is a acre,
But every time we drive in the country Wife sez we need to move.
So instead of a JD 1025r I already am thinking a 3025.
Now from watching YouTube vids a HP of 35 or so goes up hills better.
And from reading threads here bigger is better.

Yeah a new tractor is not a deciding factor. Am willing to get a older one if it works for me.

Over 25hp, I think you will find most tractors to have at least a DPF, unless you go older used. I can only speak for my Kubota, it’s not been an issue, but I only have 200hrs. On it.
