    TF, I am looking to do the same to my TL12. I have been having dpf issues for the past year even after replacing it.

    did you guys ever figure it out?

    Good luck. With the heavy hammer coming down wont be long before deletes are no more. It will be as foreign of a word to the new generation as dpf, def was to us. Don't forget with the new round of vocabulary changes once you do the delete it would illegal for any dealer to service it, accept on trade or illegal for any individual to buy it or any individual to sell it or in most cases now even own it knowing emission control equipment has been removed. Odds you ever deal with those consequences.. Probably slim to none. But trying to find someone right now that is providing delete software and hard parts.. Probably just as slim... You can not claim its an off road use racing vehicle..even if you could that loop hole has even been shut with the round of political posturing. It does meet requirements set forth for mining/forestry exemptions... So your kinda just stuck.. Will not be long before equipment manufacturers follow suite with auto manufacturers and make ecms untouchable to aftermarket. My advice. Fix the system and find out what and why your system keeps failing. Replacing after treatment parts is just as routine as belts hoses and oil now. Just got to accept it and move on if you want a new machine.

    Where there’s a will there’s a way. Push back.

    Yes, there are kits out there. I have not done one but contemplating a TL8 vs a TL130. Definitely something I will do if my machine has DPF crap. 4DPF Takeuchi DPF Delete Kit - Fast Plug and Play Delete Takeuchi DPF Delete and Takeuchi DEF Delete Kits.

    You responded to an old thread, delete has been talked about as much as the number one rule of Fight Club!

    All the machines it seems that run the Kubota SCR engine struggle with DEF issues. However of the three machines (CAT, Kubota and Taki). Taki seems least able to figure it out. I believe that is at least part of the reason Cat went away from Kubota. Taki needs to do the same in my opinion.

    My cat recently had a weight loss on it. Much better performance and have been happy with the results.

    Yeah. It's not specifically written into the rules, but because of the illegality of it, we don't allow discussion of it anymore.
