I rolled over 50 hours today and I'm really satisfied with this tractor. I've already done a lot of the cleaning up of my property, granted there was only about 2.5 acres that needed cleaned up. The DPF hasn't caused me any concern. So far it's needed to regen three times is all. I didn't lose any time, just bumped the RPM till the dashboard was happy and kept on working.

I did notice today that I've got a hydraulic leak that looks like it's from where one of the hoses on the right-side cylinder for the dipper stick lateral movement. Hopefully the hose fitting just needs tightened up and not replaced, but I did find a branch in that area. I'll check that out when I do the 50 hour maintenance tomorrow.

Now I just a couple 10 year olds to pick up rocks!

I'm very happy with mine also. Only 72 hours so far, and the regens have occurred between 15 and 20 hours. Sounds pretty much like yours.

One of the hoses next to the joystick leaked early on for my L3200. Sent the dealer photos & he promptly ordered a replacement. I picked it up & replaced it myself, easier than loading & hauling the whole machine. Had to take the bad hose back afterwards though.

Yep, I had to send back a bad block heater element after the original one stopped working after 5 hours for warrenty.

My hydraulic leak turned out to simply be a loose nut on one of the connectors. A little tightening was all that was required.

I had to bring in a bad tail wheel hub off my bushhog. They replaced it with no problems. (it was sloppy on the shaft)
