Just a thread for sharing information.
The first Regen was around 25hrs while I was doing some light loader work @~1500RPM in MO. Engine stumbled a little and got my attention when I saw the dash lights for "regen" and the RPM jumped up to 1800, then the "hot exhaust" light came on, that lasted maybe 15 minutes and it dropped back to 1500rpm.
The second regen happened around 50 hrs. Don't recall what I was doing or the RPM.
So I did some light snow clearing back in February and was around 77 hours expecting a regen any moment but never got one so I tried to force one, nothing ever happened even holding the switch down at the top for 20 seconds. I could press the button down at the bottom and get the "regen inhibited" light to turn on so the switch seemed to be working or at least half of it was.
Fast forward to last night. Tractor is at 82.7 hrs doing some light loader work at ~1500RPM and temp is just below half way mark where it usually runs once warm. I decided to try a forced regen again, still nothing while moving even holding the switch down at the top for 20 seconds.
I finish my work, idle down and decided to stop, put on parking brake and pressed switch down at the bottom for "Regen inhibit" mode and the light comes on so switch must be ok, then I press the switch down at the top and all of a sudden the rpm's jump up to 2600 and the regen light comes on!
After about 5 minutes the "hot exhaust" light comes on. It ran until 83.0 hrs so about 18 minutes before it dropped back down to idle and the lights went out.
While it was running at the high rpm I worked the loader functions up and down practicing keeping the bucket level or doing dual movements just to put some load on the engine, talk about fast hydraulics!
Main take away is the forced regen won't happen unless the engine (and maybe coolant or exhaust temperature??) is fully warmed up and the parking brake is on apparently.
