Overview
An owner-shot, unscripted video capturing a live automatic regen cycle on a John Deere 4052R. It explains what the DPF does, why regen triggers automatically versus forced, what the cab display shows (soot level, hours since last regen), how long a cycle actually ran (over an hour at near-idle), the exhaust heat and smell to expect, and a practical warning about parking under trees. Best for new Tier 4 tractor owners wondering what's happening when regen kicks in.
An owner-operator sharing firsthand impressions from their own property, explicitly noting they are not an expert but have experienced regen multiple times on this tractor.
