ReGen YT

[DavidL61]

Just curious how many ReGens your YT has gone through since you bought it. My YT347 has gone though three so far which seems to many for the hours I have on it. First was at 30, second at 60 and the last at 69. Maybe Yanmar can chime in as to why it already had 3 ReGens.

I have 31 hours on my Yanmar YT347 and I haven't done a regen yet. I try to limit my idling time to a bare minimum. Idling isn't good for any engine, let a lot one with a DPF. Do you do a lot of idling ?

That may have something to do with it. We have been pounding t-posts in and letting it idle.

I am at around 122 hours now and have done first haylage harvest, which is mowing, baling, wrapping & some misc chores and gone through 3 regens. One of them was almost an hour long!

Had my first regen at around 40 hours. I took around 15 - 20 minutes. Luckily I was getting ready to bush hog a pretty decent size waterway so I just kept using the tractor as normal. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was not being able to move the dial to set the engine speed or RPM's. Luckily I already had it set to bush hog but I didn't have it set correctly for my trip over there.

I have gone through at least three re-generation cycles, possibly four on my YT359C, with the last occurring at about 260 hours. I'm not sure what the best way to manage this is, but per the manual, I don't let the machine idle. When I start it, I bring it right up to between 1200 and 1500 RPM until it warms, then work it. I shut it off instead of idling and for short periods, if I need to leave it on, it stays at 1200 to 1500 RPM.

At 50 hours on my 235 it has gone through two regen cycles.

No regen yet, at ~50 hours. YT359

At what RPM does the YT347 idle and regen at?

I'm mostly interested in the YT347 because it has the same 4TNV88 engine/block as my LX.

ReGen at 50 hours. (Just after I posted).
