In other words, I know, the M9540 is a fine machine, but does anyone have experience with the newer models with regen and DPF. Any regrets buying one? Should I stick with the 9540? Thanks.
M9540 vs new M5-111

Okay fellers, lets clear up some critical errors here!
The M5-111 runs DPF and DEF. The explanation above on how DPF is correct but the statement of 25 horse is incorrect it is 27. The B series 26 HP have no DPF system.
DEF is a fluid and has another tank to fill. The system works by misting the exhaust with urea. This combo is tier 5 emissions.

Thanks for clearing that up. Any opinions on whether or not you would go with a used model without dpf, Def etc. Or roll the dice on the new model for just a few thousand dollars more?
I have no strong feelings on either! At least your DEF won't freeze up like up in the great lakes.
Besides the B3350 and F3990, the DPF systems have been pretty reliable.

Get the 9540.
Ford DEF tanks have heaters and cycle to clear the lines on shut off. Although I don't know the freeze point of DEF I do know these trucks are used in the Canadian plains.

We ended up buying the M5-111. Of course we haven't had it long enough to know if there will be any issues, but thus far it is a Cadillac compared to our old new hollands.
