Well that sucks. Too bad they couldn’t just hook the computer up there and let ya know what it may be/ do a reset and be on your way with any luck.
Keep us posted....

Kubota, like Deere, uses a proprietary ecm hookup that only accepts a Kubota Diagmaster scan tool and you cannot buy one. Dealer only item which is why I won't own a post 4 Kubota. Both mine 2002 and 2004 M9's are totally mechanical. Both make in the excess of rated pto power and both are trouble free and have been since new.

I wont own any equipment that only a dealer can repair......at a huge cost. I have heard horror stories about JD equipment.

My operator doesn't like to keep the rpm's up. So after the dealer does a forced regen I will have to come up with solution, I'm thinking at end of each day maybe I'll raise the rpm's and let run for 20/30 minutes to burn off soot, then do a shutdown.

Start handing your "operator" the repair bills.

For my information - what exactly is "raised rpms" for your M7060, Roy? X rpms for X time. Thanks

There are ways to “deal” with the DPF and as a bonus, the egr. Costs a few grand but as another bonus you can get an extra few HP and better fuel economy...... once out of warranty I plan to look into it. My VW TDI has been happy breathing easier.

What is he worried about? Getting the job done too quick?

Tell him if he don't run at rated RPM at least part of the time, you'll fire him...........:laughing:
