Just bought a M8560 and was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the DPF? Is there any maint. to do or things to avoid? The dealer assured me that Kubota has worked most of the kinks out and I'm confident they are. But if there is anything to look for I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

From what I have read, Kubotas are not a lot of trouble, if you are turning a lot of RPMs the regeneration process is not all that often and really doesn't affect performance that much.

I just bought a 2015 M8560. I doesn't have def, just the regen cycle. It regenned the 1st time at 39 total hours. I am using it to run a 10' rotary cutter and a 4x5 baler. I realize this is a new tractor but what differences should I watch between this tractor and the 2007 M7040 I traded in? So far I love this tractor, more power, quiet, cold cold air.
