    Mine has only regen'd once since I've had it. I think I've put on about 40 hours. I was mowing and tilling last weekend and the meter dropped by about 15%.

    DPF/Regen doesn't bother me enough to try to defeat it. That's not saying I think it's a good idea, but I'm not going to go out of my way to modify a good running tractor. If it was running DEF I'd might be more motivated to find a way around it.

    I just completed the Regen, followed everyone's suggestions. It took 15 minutes almost to the second! o_O It's ready to go again. I gotta learn this stuff. :whistle: I feel like an Idiot! :picard: Thanks everyone... :)

    As others have said, my tractor has ranged between 20-35 hours between regens. So far, knock on wood, they’ve all happened without a hiccup, and take almost exactly 15 minutes.
    My tractor has a meter showing what percent full the DPF is-when it gets to 98-99%, I try to make sure I have some lengthy work to do-roto-tilling, bush hogging, etc.

    A miracle for this season! More on the way this weekend….

    My neighbor and I (in VT) had to trench part of the road with shovels last weekend in the deluge to prevent more ruts from being formed.

    It’s so wet. Our neighbor was going to take his Kubota out to move a downed tree. Big surprise, too wet to get back to that area of his property.
