T4.75 Regen Question

[TXCYCLE]

This is some advertising propaganda from CNH and similar to the brochure my dealer gave me when I bought mine Thumper. I had told him I wanted an non-DEF & non-DPF tractor: (much better than I can explain)

Common Rail engine technology with PM Catalyst

The T4.75 PowerStar Series is powered by a 3.4 liter, Common Rail F5C engine with PM Catalyst technology for Tier 4B compliance. Developed by New Holland’s sister company, FPT Industrial, the PM Catalyst is located in the exhaust system downstream of the diesel oxidation catalyst. When particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas passes through it, it is burned off. This filter never blocks due to the high flow of exhaust gas, and does not require regeneration. This system requires no additional efforts from the operator to activate the cleansing process and best of all, the system is absolutely maintenance free, an industry first. To date, FPT Industrial has produced 500,000 engines with PM Catalyst technology and the system has been designed to last the life of the product.

I am looking at 75 HP tractors and saw that NH has changed technology on the new models to be T4 compliant without DPF and the need to regen. I am going with the NH Workmaster 75, similar to the PowerStar 75. First is the no regen, same as the PowerStar. Second is the cab layout fits me better and has an instructor seat standard for the grandson. Third is it is $3,000 - $5,000 less than the PowerStar 75, Kubota M7060, JD 5075E, and the MF 2607H that I have priced. Also NH has 0% for 84 months till 08/31/19.

$46,200 with FEL, third function, 1 additional rear remote for a total of 3, and 2 wheel weights on each side. Will add a WR Long heavy duty grapple and 10 bale hay grapple to the package.

That’s a great deal and a sweet setup. You & the grandson will love it. My granddaughter loves the buddy seat and going on the tractor with papa.

I have 110 hrs on my 2018 Powerstar75 and have never noticed a regen, as mentioned they use a catalyst system, and to this point it has been seamless. I also have 2018 Duramax powered Chevrolet, and like clockwork it regens every 300 miles of mixed driving, will go 400 miles if all highway driving.

I had a 2015 Model T4.75 that would do a regeneration about every 12 hours and I ran it near full throttle all the time mowing pasture. The indicator on the dash only blinks for a second at start, a blink at stop and the beep sound at start and stop is so low in sound you cannot hear it over the roar of the engine. Your unit is regenerating just fine. I switched over to Kubota after having major/expensive repairs on the T4.75 and like the way the Kubota shows me the percentage of buildup in the system all the time and the regeneration symbol stays on during the whole process. On the Kubota I get regenerations about every 22 hours mowing the same pasture as the T4.75. Go figure!

Utopia Texas, would mind elaborating on what major/expensive repairs you experienced with your T4.75? If you aren't interested in sharing I understand, but when I hear things like this it's always nice to know just what one might want to be looking out for...

At 220 hours the tractor would not start. With key in on position all the dash lights came on but nothing else. Tractor could be jumped at the starter to run. Was told the PTO safety sensor was out and it was not at the lever, rather deeper in the tractor where one rear wheel had to come off to get to it to replace. Part......$89.......Labor......$2200
Two weeks later tractor will not start. Was told a hydraulic servo was out. Would have to split the tractor in half to repair. Price to fix would be $5100.00. At this point I was fuming. A tractor kept in excellent shape with less than 230 hours on the clock, always kept inside, even had all filters and oil changed at 50 hours which was way ahead of the NH schedule. When I was told the servo was not under warranty that was it for me.
P.S.- What started the frustration for me was that I had previously traded in a one year old Boomer 50 with CVT transmission because it stalled on me twice. Once when I had a tree trunk in a grapple lifted up in a precarious position and the second time when I was slowly driving up a steep hill with a loaded trailer in tow. No more NH products for me!

Well that would be enough to piss anyone off... How could they not warranty a tractor with only 220hrs on it, that's just ridiculous.
