Kubota regened again today

[m1garand762]

I have 205 hours on my l3901 and 3 regen cycles work it harder than you are and it will stay clean longer

Mine regens every 28hrs, in 300hrs. The timing doesn't seem to matter how it's used. But, I never idle lower than 1700rpm, and most of the time working it's at 2000-2200rpm. At those rpms, the hydrostatic and hydraulic work much better, the engine has the power needed, I'm usually trying to get something done so that all seems a better fit. The regen is seemless, nothing much to see, just make sure to not shut it off.
Just as an observation, whenever I see skidsteers, construction eq, farm tractors, when work starts the rpms get pushed to full throttle (or 540 pto if thats the case). Not sure I could get much done with a skid steer at just above idle. Maybe small utility tractors are different.

The issue with that is, once you do that, it's yours forever.

I wish people would stop saying that cause I think its BS.

If so many people brag about not having the regen system. why wouldn't somebody touch a tractor with the stuff removed? I bet there's a lot of good ole boys around here that would buy it and not think twice about it, same thing with the good ole boy shops around here working on it.

I really don't understand your attitude. It's a question.
Obviously you have nothing to add. Ignored.

Ignore it Scootr. It was a reasonable and intelligent question. Some people are just that way.
I run mine at 2000 plus rpm as mine is hst. But no dpf.

It is true if you ever want to trade to a dealership.

My first and only regen on my L3901 was at about 20 hrs. I had been running it like I had my old tractor (just added RPMS for the job at hand). I talked the regen over with my salesman and he said I should change my habits as far as the RPMS I was running. Since then after warmup I run the engine to at least 2k RPM or higher. I now have just over 51hrs, without a regen since the one @ 20hrs.

I have 65 hours on my newer MX and have yet to experience a regen. My dealer tells me that I must be running the RPMs right.

On a Branson, there is a muffler you can put right in its place. If you want to sell the tractor, just bolt up the DPF

Mine often regens in winter after cold starts. I need to get out of the habit of starting it, then going inside for another cup of coffee while it warms up. It’s good to let the fluids warm before using it, but after 5 minutes or so it’s better to run it lightly.

Personally, I like not smelling diesel all day long. I go from my 3301 to my father’s 2800 and that’s the first thing I notice. While the latter is a better tractor and I may bring it home when my mother is done with the homestead, smelling diesel again will take some getting used to.

Personally I prefer the DPF because I like not sucking smoke and getting sinus headaches.

315h with no forced regen on my TYM, I do work it over 1800rpms if not in PTO use.
