Third Regen LX3310
- Thread starter sardillim
- Start date
Peanut gallery: My partner owns a sweet L3301 and has run equip for 40 years, I know, it gets better.....He runs his tractor at 1300 rpm nearly all the time because " Thats the way we did it in the day" After a handful of times regenerating in 200 hours, we convinced him to just try running at 1800-2000 just for SAG. He's now gone 97 hours with no regeneration. He swears it's witch craft. Maybe that'll help. Keep the shiny side up.

As Dutch64 pointed out, if you a running in lower RPM, you will do more regens than the higher RPM.
During the summer months when I'm doing a lot of rotary mowing, I do far fear regens than in the winter months when I do more idling (warming up the engine) and loader work.

Concerned me a bit when mine regened 3 times in the first 50 hours, most of which was pulling hard during hot summer months. It’s a bit over 200 hours now and last regen was at about 140 hours. Have always run at 1800 to 2000 RPM based on dealer instructions unless running 540 on the PTO for mowing or chipping. Higher RPM was a bit of a struggle for me to get used to due to MANY more hours on older equipment. Why it would “settle down” on the regens I have no clue. Just know mine seems to have eased up on them post break in.
One factor that I can think of is the frequency of starting the engine cold (off for a while).
That's when diesels produce the most soot.
