In my case, it wasn't enough to just run the rpms up, there had to be a load on the engine. So, in winter time, the only way I could put a load on the engine was to "road" my tractor, driving it up and back on a graded gravel road about a mile and a half long. I would do this in High range on the HST, and go flat out (such as it is), to put as much load on the engine as possible. Sometimes it would take 2 or 3 trips for the light to go out and stay out.
In summer, it would get hot enough while brush hogging to not be a problem.
But then again, it's also frequently -30F to -40F in winter (not this year) which makes it really difficult (ok, impossible really) to get that DPF/DOC filter hot enough to do what it's supposed to do.
If you have a place to do it safely, maybe try roading your tractor for a couple of miles?
