Tier IV Best Practices

[OrangeAgain]

My new Kioti RX7320PC was delivered yesterday. I'm now ready for snow.

I want to start off right especially regarding operating the tier IV engine. I would love to have a list, in one place, of tier IV best practices. I.E. Starting / Warming up, operating, shutting down, regeneration...

Congrats on the new tractor.
Best I can say is spend an evening with your favorite beverage and read the owners manual. All the info you need is there for starting, warming, operating, regen etc.
I'm sure the procedures are similar for most tractors but there may be some differences.

Yup, highly variable. I'm sure you know this but the EPA Final Teir 4 regulations set pollution limits. They do not tell the manufacturer how to do this. So the technology or lack thereof varries both among manufacturers AND within them.
So advice you get should probably be limited to other RX owners and you manual.

I think George2615 hit the nail on the head. I spent a few days reading and trying to understand what the manual was trying to tell me. One thing I will say is, you'll regen less if you keep the RPM's up above 1500-1700. I did a lot of idling while building my barn simply because running higher RPM's to raise and lower me on the pallet forks just didn't make sense. Had to do 2 regen's, takes about 15 min. and is loud because of the high RPM's while in the regen mode. When the light flashes for a regen I usually drive the tractor away from where I'm working, push the button and walk away. If you mess with the clutch or throttle during a regen it stops and you'll have to start over. Hope this helps.
