I own a L3901 purchased new in 2021. Up until this summer regens occured regularly between 15 and 20 hours. 15 in the winter (snow plowing, firewood) 20 in the summer (finish mower and brushhog). So far this summer I have not had a regen light come on. 44 hours since the last one. I have 403 hours on the tractor. Should I be concerned? It starts and runs fine. I am new to Kubota and deisel tractor. My only other tractor was a 1950 8N I had for 34 years.

Could you have simply just not noticed the last regen.
When i'm working, my machine's hard, I sometimes don't even notice a regen happening.
If you're not getting any warnings, just run it like you normally do would be my recommendation.

I have gotten close to 70 hours before on my MX6000 between regens and last August we had some 90 MPH winds go threw and took out a bunch of tress so I had a couple friends out helping clean up and put the MX6000 on a flatbed trailer for hauling brush about a half mile to a brush pile. The guy running the MX6000 was idling it a lot and running slow to the pile. About 3/4 threw the day he came pulling into the pile area and jumped off the tractor and run over to the skid loader I was running and said there are lights on the dash flashing on the MX6000. I went over and it was trying to regen but he had it idling. Long story short it was regening about ever six hours the four days he was running it. It took a while after I was running it again to get it back up to were it normally regened. I always run it a two thousand and higher on the RPM'S.
