New Holland Boomer 37 in DPF Shutdown Mode

[Kevin Kelly]

I bought my 2015 New Holland Boomer 37 new.
Didn't know it when I bought it that it automatically goes in Regeneration mode every four hours of operation.
The manual says to stop operating the tractor until regeneration is complete. This takes 1/2 hour. It is a real inconvenience.
Nowhere in my owners manual does it say you have to run it at full throttle during regeneration. At about 750 hours July 2021, the regenerations started happening every three hours of operation. Then, all of a sudden, the machine went into DPF engine shutdown mode. Would not rev higher than 1500 RPM and would shut down after 30 seconds. The 30 seconds is so you can move the tractor off the road as necessary. According to the manual, DPF engine shutdown mode happens when the soot level inside the cannister exceeds 140%. After a $600 tow fee to the dealership, computer diagnostics and a forced regeneration, the tractor was running again. It turns out, the cannister did not really have a heavy soot load. Cause of shutdown was not clearly understood, but dealer told me to always run the tractor at full throttle during regeneration, so I have been doing that ever since.
January, 2023 @ 950+- hours. regens started every 3 hours again, then tractor went into shutdown mode again, while plowing snow. Finished plowing at 30 second intervals, between shutdowns. It starts every time, runs at low RPM for 30 seconds, then shuts down.
Service truck will come when they can, but I am without a machine right now. Anyone else had this problem ? I know there are DPF DELETE programs available, but I would rather get to the origin of the problem first. Thanks. Kevin

You would think somebody would have devised a way to bypass all of that BS. TG my newest tractor is a 2010.

Lots of horrior stories about EPA mandates on here...

Regen every 3-4 hours from new? My 2018 Boomer 40 regents every 50 hours or so and the only way I can tell us light on dash. Once warmed up I always operate at or above 2000 rpm as my dealer suggested to keep dpf nice and hot.

I find that high rpm counter productive. It's a diesel, not a gasser. Diesels are built for lower rpm. The gummit is always right, right?

I'm having the same issue on a 2019 Workmaster 50. How can I force a regen? or what needs to be cleaned?

Something's not right here. I find it hard to comprehend that any manufacturer would make a tractor that forces you to stop every 4 hours for a regeneration cycle that lasts a half hour.

Are you sure you are reading your owner's manual correctly? Some have confused "Parked Regeneration" with the normal regeneration process that happens when you are just working the machine. Those are two different processes. Most of us just keep on working when the regen light comes on, no input is required from the operator other than making sure the rpms are up there. And yes, you have a Tier 4 diesel so you have to keep that engine running at ~ 2000 rpm or more once it is warmed up.

Could be the DPF cannister is loaded with soot. That entails a professional cleaning. Think I'd have a talk with your dealer about that as it don't sound kosher.

The early models had 4 hour regen cycles.

I just deleted the system on my 2015 LS xg3032. our two tractors are practically identical. To remove the system all you have to do is run power from the ignition to the solenoid. Unplug the other plugs which go to the solenoid. The solenoid plug that you run power to is two wires - make one go to ground, the other goes to the ignition(hot). In addition to this you remove the DPF filter, and knock out what is remaining behind it. The only other thing you have to do is run a throttle cable from the hand throttle to the lever on the injection pump.

Good luck putting it in the shop for repairs if you go that route. I put mine in the shop and paid $4,700, waited 1 1/2 years, got it back just for it to go into limp mode again very soon after. I ended up taking it to a local retired tractor mechanic and we had that thing running in 30 minutes just by removing the solenoid as a first test. The only reason you need to run power to the solenoid is so the ignition can shut the tractor off.
