Kioti Tier 4 Engines & DPF Regeneration

[RockyNY]

I've been reading the manual for my NX6010, and it doesn't give much information on the regeneration process. I thought from what I read on here that the tractor will automatically regenerate the DPF when working (if the conditions are right). Is there any in-dash notification of this happening? Because according to the manual, when the regen light comes on in the dash, you need to park the tractor and press the regen switch. Can anyone who has some hours on their machine comment on this?

I asked another member about that too, and he said yes his will go into auto regen and when it does it lights the dash indicator, other than that he said he notices no difference in the way it runs while in regen. Unfortunately I still have not used mine to find this out.

It looks like there's actually 2 DPF warning lights on the dash, one is listed as "DPF Temperature Warning Lamp" and the other is "Clogged DPF Warning Lamp". The manual is very unclear, but I'm thinking probably the Temperature Warning lamp comes on whenever the DPF is being regenerated, and the Clogged Warning lamp comes on when you need to do a manual regen. I'll just have to wait and see.

That's the way our new freightliner pumpers are, silly lights almost look the same in shape and color and right beside each other. You would think they would make them a bit more distinguishable between the two.
