How often does your tractor Regen?

Wow every 4 hours it regens!? That's crazy, I'd be calling my dealer if that was happening.

It is spec to regen every 4 hours

My L3901 has 53 hours and if it regen'ed I never knew it but it's possible it did it according to some. I don't see the lights unless I look down at them which I don't do when I'm working. I do a short startup high idle and then rpms to PTO speed notch/mark on tach and never run it under that till I turn it off.

OK, I can now say mine regened and I knew it at 62 hours. I was working it last week and noticed a strange smell and it seemed like I felt more heat coming from the front direction of my tractor but nothing else. I looked at my dash and there was a light on at the upper right and stayed on for several minutes and then went off. I continued to work and have put at least another 10 hours on it since then.

My new LS XR4155 did the regeneration thing for the first time today at 28 hours, first thing I noticed was the indicator lights on the dash lighted up, couple minutes later a bunch of whitish smoke or steam Looking stuff blowing out in front for a minute or two, the indicator lights stayed on for probably about 10-15 minutes and then everything seemed to go back to normal. This was a new experience for me but the dealer had told me a little about it when he delivered the tractor, he said he gets lots of phone calls from new owners the first time it happens. Thankfully I had also done some reading about it after what he told me. So far my new tractor has never been worked very hard at all.

That tractor is now gone. I traded it with 175 hours and never knew when it regened again. I'm sure it did but I never knew when it did. I always ran it at the orange dot on RPMs indicating the 540 point. I do the same on my current MX54 which has about 35 hours the last time I looked and don't think it has regened yet. I let it idle, just like the L3901 for a couple minutes then ran it up to the orange dot/mark and kept it there until I was ready to turn it off. Do the same with the MX except I let it do a high idle for a couple minutes before shutting it off since it has a turbo and the manual says to in order to let the turbo spool down.
