What's the regeneration time for the XR3135 diesel engine??
XR3135 regeneration time?

Should be around 40 hours, I think. I'm on hour 23 so I haven't been thru a regen yet. Just having fun and enjoying every minute! Not sure about the duration of a regen either. Hopefully, will between 1/2-1 hour.
T REX, not really sure about power loss, since I haven't gone thru a regen yet. Some folks complain of a big power loss and some don't. Try the "search" function at the top right of the page and it should pull up several threads on the subject.

My XR3135HC went thru the first regen around 50 hours, I was doing loader work and did not notice any loss of power. I was running it around 1800 RPM and it did boost up to around 2200 for around 10 minutes. Now I have around 190 hours and I noticed it went thru another regen at 170 hours and I was running the backhoe, once again it boosted up to 2200 and I did not notice any change other than engine speed. I am sure it has gone thru other regens, probably when I was running my chipper off the PTO, so didn't notice anything. there are lights on the dash that come on during the regen, but I just ignore them and keep on working, doing whatever I was doing.

My 6168 regenerated at 48 hours. I was plowing and running at 2300
RPMs. My first indication was a funny smell reminiscent of melting wires, so i stopped and then noticed the regeneration light on. There is also a light next to that one that comes on at the same time to tell you that the exhaust is hot. Other than that, I didn’t notice any loss of power, and I was working it pretty good.

XR3135H. First Regen today@ 24hours. Duration of regeneration was 20 minutes. I was on the backhoe digging up stumps and the engine was running 2200rpm. The engine pitch changed slightly and the exhaust smelled funny. I was finished for the day so I parked it and idled it down (now @1100rpm). When regeneration was complete the regeneration lights on the dash went out and the idle speed dropped to 800rpm. Done Deal!
New Box Blade and a couple of Stump shots. Love It!

If you keep your RPM's up, keeps the heat up and it will cut the regen time in half.
cford36, Regen was almost complete when I idled it down. I mainly wanted to see what the actual rpm increase was during a Regan cycle. I thought it would have been more than 300 rpm. Good advise though, thanks.

XR4155 here, first regen at 50 hours during first service (I wasn't present) and second at 100 hours. Working my way up to the 150 hour mark, so I'm guessing I'll see another regen soon with a ~50 hour cadence. I was hauling rock and didn't seem to notice any power loss, though it did jump up some RPM like others had mentioned.

I have 100 hrs on the 3135 and have kept track of every regen. It is slowly increasing in intervals, but I don't think I have hit 30 hrs. I'll check my records. As already stated, usually I notice the smell before the light on the console. No real issue with regen for me.

Both mine have been at about 40 hours. I think it depends upon how hard your are working it. Higher RPM and the harder you work it, the more time between. The more idling the more regens.

I was surprised mine waited until 48 hours before it’s first regen. It pretty much idled or fast idled most of the first 20 hours moving some things around and test fitting attachments. I always think it’s only going to take me a couple minutes to hook up, so I leave it running. 30 minutes later I’m finally ready to do some actual work. Lol
I was very surprised when my first regen was at just 24 hours. 90% of those hours were at 2200 or so RPM using the backhoe or fel. 10% at idle while putzing around or warming up.
Very hard getting used to keeping the RPM up when not working the tractor. It will be interesting to see when the next regen will occur.

My first regeneration was at 18h. But I was using the tractor on the higher gear I could to keep the rpm low. I realized then that it is not a good practice.
Next regens happen at 75h and 128h. I keep the rpm mostly at 1600rpm, now. Regen lasts a few minutes rpms go up a bit and are fluctuating. I just ignore it and continue my work. It does smells weird though!
