From a convenience standpoint, regen "on the run" is better and no problem at all. There's normally a panel light to let you know what's going on. Only caution would be if you're operating in tall growth that's flammable. From my recent talk with the dealer, the only tractor they are seeing...

Ten is not much! Mine got to the "10 hours between regens" at about 700 engine hours. Then the time rapidly diminished to 4 hours over the next year and additional 90 hours.

If you are keeping track, how many hours between regens?

My understanding, bleak as it may be, is that the computer is looking at the Delta-P (pressure differential) from the entry to the exit side of the DPF. So point #1 is it probably wants to see a difference there and it bases, at least in part, the decision to call for a regen cycle as that...

Shame on both Kubota for leaving loyal customers to hank out and dry, and the asinine EPA for their overreach.

I would not expect a problem with a low hour B3350, even on my Nov, 2007, I had no issues for hundreds of hours. BTW, if the tractor dies and the instrument panel is dead, check for a blown 5 amp fuse. If it blows again, it's a short to ground inside the neutral sense switch on the...

From when I purchased by B3350HSDC 11/07, I have done everything according to the owner's manual, (I have the shop manual too). Used the correct oil (CJ4 rated - IIRC, synthetic for turbo-diesel) at the recommended engine hours and good fresh fuel. On start up, I back off the key to the glow...

That is the burning question for sure! A few years back, a mfg of "DPF Delete" kits for pickup trucks was hit with a $500K fine (IIRC). Immediately, the market availability for those went to zero. The B3350 market is tiny by comparison. Easy enough to make a bypass pipe, I have no ability to...

Yup, I do, a nice Miller with liquid cooled torch. :c) I have no clue as to why they welded up the can*. Kubota Engine US offers DPF cleaning, but they don't show the B3350 DPF. I sent them an email, just to see what it costs and to find out if they do it for the B3350. (I plan to do it myself...

I sprung for the new DPF as I needed the machine. My plan is to cut the welds on the old one and clean it myself later, then reweld it, (or I may weld on overlapping tabs so it can be band clamped together. If I knew how the sensors and computer would react, i'd be tempted to put a hole through it.

Purchased my B3350HSDC in Nov 2013, run it over 2100 and mostly over 2400, minimal idling, just warm up and turbo cool down. On starting, I leave glow plugs on until engine smooths. At 790 engine hours, regen is down to every 4 hours or less. Had new DPF installed w/sensors. They also checked...

Update: Now with 785 hours, regens are every 4 hours. I can see the point when things come to halt. Called the dealer and they said a new DPF is just over $3,000. That comes to about $4 and change per hour added cost. Don't know if that price includes new sensors on the DPF (probably not). Has...

Any updates on this? Please! I have the same problem, storm coming it, went to lube things and found the a bolt sheared and the other bent in the gap and of course sheared when I went to remove it. Now having a devil of a time getting the split collar to back off.

No so's I can find . . . probably too small a market. And probably dissuaded by the large fines handed out to some of the pickup truck "delete" providers. BTW, this thread must have a bump-stock or something. Couple of posts when full auto!

I have almost 700 hours on my Nov 2013 B3350. Re-gens are 10 to 13 hours apart depending on how I'm running it - hard is better. It's been to the dealer twice for updates, last time about 3 years ago. Runs fine, but I sure wish it didn't have the DPF.
