Tier 4 Diesel Engine Regeneration (Regen) - John Deere Tractor

I capture and walk you through a diesel engine regeneration (regen) on a John Deere 4052R. This tractor has a tier 4 engine with a diesel particulate filter. (DPF)

Thanks for posting this, man !
I guess it wants to cook off the soot.
Another pain in the ass.
Computers and tractors don't mix, as far as I'm concerned.
Over an hour to do this crap. LOL
Yeah, The manual doesn't even mention how long it takes.

Good information, and it was helpful. My owner's manual doesn't cover my model or the auto-regen process in sort of detail. I've been hunting for this exact information and while your model is slightly different...it's close enough to be very helpful.

Very helpful. I’ve got a 2020 4066R with 1053 hours on it and it’s going back in to the dealer with its 4th error fault in the last 500 hours. Hate that regen.
The issue is that it automatically goes into regen and every other time, it won’t complete. Meaning, it only brings the soot level to 50% and then just decides that is enough and stops the process without intervention from me in any way.
Damn thing’s computer needs dealer to reboot computer. Super annoying. Right now it only could get soot level to 75%. Arrrrgh

I’ve got a 2020 D series 3043, it’s a tier 4 system, it’s annoying but at least you can use it while in regen. Also it won’t let you drop below 1500 rpms, however if you want it to get done faster crank it up. I do mine around 2500 rpms unless I’m working it then it’s higher and gets done quicker

Does your tractor have the reverse safety beep. Mine has it but it only worked the first day. Did I accidentally turn it off. Just curious

[denniscolsch]

I'm getting a warning symbol on my dash and a message that says something about a secondary egr. What does this mean??

[kevinschnell]

I found that if you Put it in neutral with the parking I brake on and she will rev up higher and cut the time down by allot but I think you have to do that when you start the regen sometimes it'll be done in like 10 minutes

[robertwilson]

When it goes into regen does it hurt it to turn the throttle up a little ? Mine was regening at 1600 rpm and I turn mine up to 2200

Thank you for this video. I've got a 4066r and I noticed my soot level was at 72 percent. I still havnt got it into re-gen mode. Im assuming it will do it around 75-76% though.

Have a brand new 3039R diesel. The DFP high pres sens fault came on with explanation point light. Did the exhaust cleaning cleaning with dealer. To no avail the lights never went off. Still under warranty but the cost is the travel for dealer. Around $1300. I am pissed

[regigilman]

So basically if you're working and at a critical point while operating your tractor and it goes into Regen mode you're basically stuck with your pants down at your ankles where there nothing you can do but let the tractor do its thing ?

I have a 2019 3038E in Germany. And my tractor doesn't has this regen button, only the 3 top buttons. Under the hood there is a DPF. Can somebody explain that to me ? I have a DPF but can't manually start the regen process ?

With the middle button in the top row you can switch through different hour counters. Like engine hours, PTO hours, but even there is no soot level indication.

That’s weird, our 2020 4066R exhausts out of a pipe kinda through the front frame structure. It still has the cutout on the hood, but it’s just got a flush green cap over it. I wonder what they changed to run regen through the same exhaust?
Perhaps heat was too high on the old pipe location and to prevent igniting brush or something they just dumped it straight up? The new location is neutral enough that I can’t see that being an issue.

[connorvelthuis]

So this tractor has two exhaust ports? Weird

[martinparmer]

my 2014 3038e is doing an active regen after every 15 min or so of running. A light comes on and tells me to increase rpm to 1500. When I do, it' goes into regen and it lasts for about 30 min. The soot level goes from about 78% down to 72%. Should I try to do a parked regen?
Need help. Thanks.
Called dealer but all they would tell me it to bring it in.

[ponyhorse]

So I had indicator lights come on but didn't know to leave my machine running to complete a regen. Now the STOP indicator light is on and my dealer says I can't reset it myself, that I have to bring it in to the dealership to reset the system. Is there a way to do that myself? I need to cut hay and their shop is backed up for two weeks. The tractor has only 110 hours on it, that's ages away from needing a regen.

[curtdahl]

What did the soot percentage end up at after the regen?

Why can tractor just dump the soot on the ground ??

[markgillespie]

The tractor doesn’t need a regen - don’t understand why the loss in rpms - after a minute it kicks back in

[hphillips]

How does the diesel get to the DPF during the burnout. I have read that fuel will be injected on the exhaust strokes of a particular cylinder. Good video thanks
