Again I hope it's okay I used this thread since I felt it was a related failure. If anyone objects I'll be happy to start a new thread in the New Holland section.

NO! I was just kidding. Personally, I am very interested in this issue as well. Please keep us posted. The topics are related. Sorry, it's hard to show expression or sarcasm in plain text.

I don't object because it ties right into the title.

Great. Now I feel like a jerk. :duh:

Sure is a lot of incorrect information on regeneration coming out. Maybe those that want to describe regeneration can start another thread.

Well, seems I'm in the same boat. XR4155HC, 8 months/32hours old. Did some loader work moving snow, then headed back to the house. Dropped the rear blade on the way back to the house. About to he garage when the motor started spewing smoke, puking oil out of the exhaust pipe, tried to throttle down but engine would not cooperate. Dealer briought me a loaner today and took mine in for repair. Preliminary diagnosis was turbo let go. Waiting for report on damage.

Sooo... The engines that have had issues are newer, and all in a colder climate? Now I'm nervous.:ashamed:

Just curious, but I am wondering if hiddenprairie with so few hours has Dino break in oil when it failed. What were your outdoor temps? For a turbo to let go most likely a material factory defect?

Do they still use dino oil? That used to be in the past, now even for breaking-in they use synthetic in cars so why not in tractors?

Has anybody been in direct contact with LS Corporate?

Will anybody be going to the show that can point them to this thread?

$$$

They also very likely come from Korea with no oil in them. That would be done here and if you knew Dealers like I know Dealers :dance1:

I still think the problem is in the emissions system somewhere. I could be wrong. I could be very wrong.

And, oh yeah, a clogged exhaust system (the DPF) will smoke a turbo.
