A lot less worried about it today than I was yesterday. I spoke to my dealer, he basically said the same thing that you're saying. Because I've been running it at the 540 PTO RPM for about 80% of its life thus far (shredding pasture), it has either gone through a cycle and I just didn't see...

I picked up my new L3301 back in March and sense then I've put 33 hours on it, as of yesterday afternoon, however the regeneration light has never come on (at least not to my knowledge). I read somewhere that said after about 20-25 hours I should expect it and now that I'm at 33 hours, I'm a...

Is the auto-regen always on when the tractor is running? In other words, will it start the process on its on as long as the RPMs are up or is there something specific the operator has to do to start the process? Reading my warning sticker on the fender, it appears as though an alarm will sound...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole exhaust of the tier 4. I think I've read the section in the manual at least 3 times and its still a head scratcher. So far, I haven't had the light and alarm go off on me yet.

So I'm still really new to tractor ownership (my new L3301 just rolled 14 hours) and as I'm riding back and forth in the pasture mowing/shredding, I got to thinking what is the appropriate RPMs to operate a tractor. I know when running the PTO, I run the RPMs up to the appropriate "540" mark...

I've noticed that as well. I'll lean one way or the other to avoid a hanging tree limb or something and it'll start to cut out on me until I lean back over. That thing might find a piece of tape on it before too long.

Well, I figured it out. Apparently the PTO switch is a little sensitive and the tractor believed it to still be engaged and therefore would not crank even though it was clearly in the off position. I simply held it all the way back and turned the key at the same time and it fired right up...

So I just hopped off my tractor after mowing for about 3 hours. I disengaged the PTO, lowered the throttle, set the parking brake and hopped off as I have done several times before without issue. I came into the house for a minute or two, walked back out and it wasn't running. The letters "OPC"...

I've noticed the whine is worse at certain RPMs and better at others. Depending on what gear I am in, that seems to have an impact as well. Thanks all for the welcoming comments. Looking forward to wearing this thing out, if that's possible....LOL

Forgot the picture.

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and new to tractor ownership. I figured I should join up after leveraging this site quite a bit during the research phase of tractor shopping. A lot of knowledge on this forum and I'll do my best to try and pay back to others what I've learned from this site...
