Hey all you 1700 series owners!

How are the new series working? My biggest concern or area of interest is the DPF. Any problems? I am considering trading my 1652 in toward a 1759 cab. I do a lot of idling sometimes and am concerned it's going to cause the DPF to clog prematurely. Any info would be great!

Figure out a way to not idle so much or will be in regen mode more often.

I've had my 1749 now for about a month and have 20 hrs on it. I am completely satisfied with mine. No smell, no smoke what so ever. It hasn't regenerated yet, in fact it's only on level 2 of the soot gauge. It has a 3 cyl compared to a 4cyl on the 1759, I don't know if that will make a difference or not.

Idling is part of the job, I can't change that.

My 1736 regen'd for the first time last weekend at 54 hours. I was able to keep moving bales while it regen'd so didn't interrupt what I was doing. When I'm picking rocks I leave mine idle for quite a while. I hate to always shut it off then start it up all the time. If it can't handle it then it's a pretty sorry piece of equipment. I like the fact that I can start it up in my shop and not be blasted out by a big cloud of black smoke.

Diesels dont like to idle for long periods, thats why heavy duty systems have regen systems built in. As I know it, if yours is doing this at lomg idle periods it could be because it getting cold during the idle process and duel is not burning. I wonder if covering vents might help keep it at the right temperature while idling? Diesels love to work

Mine just did it for the first time last week at 48 hrs. Whatever it did it did period. No engine revving like I used to see Semi tractor trailers do no nothing. It came and went with virtually no effect whatsoever and only seemed to last a few minutes.
