Kubota Regeneration

[Snowman7]

So my 3310 has about 420 hours and with the exception of one 25-26 hour interval it has gone into regeneration every 16-17 hours. The only thing that sucks is when it happens when you are done working and ready to shut the tractor done. No issues

What type work are you doing with it and at what RPM?

I hope mine doesn't ever get that frequent. 90% of my use is at the 2500 RPM WOT position and mowing.

My opinion is this.

It's kinda like when the "Emissions BS" started in the 70's. Cars (overall) were basically "sh!t", and they seemed infinitely more complicated, and there were tons of problems and the 'old timers" of back then basically said "the sky was falling" , much like todays "old timers" do now.

But the reality is this.

A 1970's car today is easy to work on, cause there are tons of mods, and the systems are ancient/easy. (Although the cars are still basically sh!t)

In 20 years all the "complicated computer stuff" will be ancient technology and small child using their phone will be able to work on them, because by then, the 'new stuff" will make the "old stuff" look like childs play.

It's kind of a 'relative thing" I guess.

The problem (for me at least) is that in 20 years, I probably won't be around, so I bought an 'old school" machine due to the the lack of time to "play the game".

They still aren't that complicated today. The "computer" stuff is very basic by modern computing standards. The kicker is that you have to pay to play with software. I had an unlimited license for FCA that I used on Jeeps. Might even still have the laptop somewhere. My Ford uses IDS which is an annual license. I bought it, made the changes I wanted and let the license expire. The nice thing with the Ford is that there is freeware available to use in troubleshooting. Its free, but everything is hex values. So ya gotta know what you are doing.

I typically am mowing or blowing at around 2350-2400. If I am tooling through the woods (firewood) I am running 1800-2000

I have no experience wrenching on tractors or anything tractor related. So I could just make one dumber from here foward.

But I'd say y'all gotta keep y'alls foot off in these newer girls. No grandpaing around.

Everytime I'm up at Deviney's (our local Kubota dealer), It seem there's always someone being schooled on regen and not running their tractor around just above idle.

I was always in fear of tractor problems. Got our 3301 late '19. Then the 3560 last March. The 3301 is my very first tractor ever. Never even sat on one before then. So I literally have no idea about them.

So whether I'm checking the mail, dragging the driveway, or cutting the berries, I run them, not full beans, but typically above 2500rpms.

Even though i fall way short of the recommended service intervals on basically everything, I keep the "earl" changed once a year because i can and its easy enough and cheap enough to do. Fuel filter a time or two a year because its easy enough and cheap enough to do and because i mainly fuel from jugs.

Cross my fingers I aint had none of the problems some others have had on here........YET!
