There is a special wrench for that water separator. It has teeth that match up with the notches in a complete circle. Another type has a notched semicircular end with a tooth to catch the notches. It just saves hammering on that fitting. Good job on the drainage ditches, hope they can withstand the next storm! Your comment on the regen was something I’ve always wondered.

I've thought the same exact thing about the regen on my L3301. It's not the end of the world but it can be inconvenient when you are wanting to get off the tractor to do something and then get back on because it has to be at full throttle. I don't like it at full throttle when I'm off of the seat. It's also extra wear and tare on the engine in my opinion. Nice video.

If you can get your hands on some sections of old highway guardrail (straight pieces), they make GREAT ditch structures (surface culverts) across dirt roads! You dig them in a couple inches so the top (valley/highway side) is flush with the surface of you roadway. They should be angled sufficiently so they drain and self clean (scour). Super easy to install and maintain and they are heavy gauge galvanized steel so they last a long time. I've installed 10 on my hilly dirt roads and hope to get more from my local Public Works Department.

ATTENTION FALL LINE RIDGE........... Unfortunately the guy who set up your disc "harrow" didn't have a clue on the proper placement of the rear gangs. They need to be adjusted out on each side to where the 4 bolts that are nearest the outside are near the end of your square tubing. Just slide your rear gangs out about 10 inches on each side. If you notice in your video about 17:56 the front gangs are throwing the dirt much farther out than the rear gangs have the capability of reaching to throw it back in. Also you'll have some ridging in the middle the way it's set up now. They slide those in when they ship them to make them narrow but most people don't have a clue when they set them up at the dealership or farm store.

The need the DPF to meet the average NOx emissiions standards so they were legal and could even sell you the tractor. Without the DPF the tractor isn't legal. When you get to the point of having to do a regen the catalyst in the system is dirty enough that it is in danger of not meeting the NOx standard again so the need to burn off the particulate in the system. You are lucky you can still work wile doing the regen, that way you are only burning the little additional fuel for the difference in rpm from where you would normally run and the increased rpm. At only 12 minutes to regen that isn't very bad.

@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix 2 жыл бұрын

You're burning alot more fuel because not only are you running at higher rpms, but you're also injecting fuel into the DPF so it burns off the soot which 8s increasingyour fuel consumption considerably no matter what rpm you are at. When my pickup had all if that when it was regening on the highway I'd get 9mpg at 65-70 compared to 19mpg.

@disenfranchisedcitizen1432 2 жыл бұрын

Idea for you. Purchase a used rear implement that you don’t mind modifying and fabricate/weld on one side a half moon digging reverse plow that pushes/scoops the debris out and further away as you drive along side your ditch creating a perfect and consistent ditch. And being that it would only need to be about 8-12 inches wide/diameter, it would be just a quick drive down the road with the scoop spooning out and depositing the tailings towards the woods and away from your road.

Two times right when I was pulling up to the trailer at the end of jobs. So 10-15 minutes of running at high rpm while no work is being done, half hour total.

I've got a 2015 L3901 with the regen catalyst and 30 years of air pollution experience, and you want that system working for you. Diesel exhaust is a serious carcinogen and far worse than cigarette smokem and i've known older diesel mechanics to die from resulting lung cancer, emphysema, COPD. The diesel particulate filter scrubs out a portion of the particulate, and when the filter's loaded up it burns it off by adding air and fuel (diesel) inside the catalyst. The noble metal in the cat burns the diesel fuel at very high temps...and that burns off the residual crud trapped in the filter. That tier 3 diesel engine only uses diesel fuel to fire off the catalyst, but a Tier 4 engine employs a 3-way catalyst and depends on urea as the reductant to reduce both oxides of nitrogen (which creates summertime smog) and diesel particulate matter. The Tier 4 system's been used on onroad diesel trucks since 2010 and they've got the bugs worked out--I'd rather have it than the tier 3 system since it eliminates far more crud than its predecessor. Operate a tier 4 tractor and you'll not smell any of that characteristic diesel stink.
