Guy down the road from me (not a farmer) just bought a compact tractor that is T4. He's having nothing but issues with regen on it and fuel usage is high as well. The T4 engines in small tractors don't use DEF but use a selective catalyist canister and EGR. The canister requires raw diesel to be injected into it at specific intervals to 'burn'; the soot that collects from the exhaust and while it's 'regenerating' you cannot use the tractor, plus it gets hot. All phooey to me.
Wow, that’s like the ‘08-‘10 Diesel trucks that were a huge pain in the neck. BTDT.
He should reconsider how much HP his compact tractor needs if he’s not farming. T4 Diesels less than 24 HP don’t use DEF, DPF or EGR. There are some very capable T4 compliant compacts with just under 24 HP that can handle loaders, backhoes, posthole diggers, etc. I’ve got a JD 1023E and use the heck out of it for loader and mowing work.
