Well, I'm pretty sure that would be operator error, since you would've been running the tractor ignoring the code for quite a while. Like the description says: "... it FINALLY derated me", which I take as "I ignored it for a long time, and now after a long time it derated the tractor". So yeah, blame the tractor all you want, but it would be operator error in that case.

@@jandcco I'm well aware. That however is not a normal scenario, especially not in Europe, where Fendts are made. Sure, a countdown would be nice, like "You will be derated in 1h", and one for 15m and 1m or something like that, but it's just uncommon to have a tractor so far from home, so hardly anyone would need such a warning. And even if they were so far from home, anywhere but the extreme outback like where Mike is would have a service center within an hour's drive, so there's just no reason for a longer delay. Again: if you're driving on a public road with a code of which you know it's going to derate your engine at some point, it's 100% operator error. Could it be better? Sure. Is there a valid reason for it to be better? Unless I'm way overestimating how much time was between the code showing up and the engine derating (I'm assuming at least 4 to 6 hours, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was longer), nope.

This happened to a trucker on Ice Road Truckers. He was in the middle of a huge lake when his truck de-rated. There was a real possibility the truck could have fallen through the ice. He was able to limp the truck to land but it looked scary. You could tell the driver was seriously nervous. The bureaucrat who came up with this should be locked up. These DEF issues have been a problem for Letsdig18 as well. He lost a good week of work because both his Volvo Track Hoe and Komatsu Dozer were down with DEF issues and it wasn't the first time. Recently he has purchased 3 pre-def pieces of equipment. He fixed them up and they look and run great. That's one way to solve that problem.

Also found out why the autosteer wasn't working properly. Faulty globe. So replaced that. Not even 50hrs on the tractor. They all break down unfortunately it happens at the wrong time.

Like has already been said all manufacturers suffer with Def issues even our trucks, Daf Scania and Volvo all have problems with sensors. Can't remember the last time we had a proper mechanical breakdown it's always sensors.

The emission regulations should not affect farm equipment so strickly. It should, like you suggested, be made possible to override the whole emission segment of the machine and just kept you working when only sensor or electronics brake down. The modern engines are a work of art but sadly they are being controlled by an overly complicated and prone to error system. And the stupid thing is that it only keeps down the emission impact by road and land vehicles which represents only a few percent of overall world polution!

Jd has def problems too, fendt is a hell of a tractor

Only way to avoid it is if you buy something used, pre-DEF 😅

The jd in Australia doesn't have Def yet but the fendt does. You can still order the jd without

Mike,you will be a bag of nerves watching for that warning light coming back on!! What a stupid place for you to get acess to that tank,thought you would only have to replace a small sensor thing not a whole contraption that probably cost hundreds of dollars,glad you getting all that done under warranty

And even with all the DEF problems you experience, you still bought a diesel suburban for the family truckster!!!

I really hoped the Fendt would keep up with the work on your farm and leave a good impression. But that's just embarrassing for Fendt and AGCO.

just think if you were moving on the highway and it shut you down like that - blocking traffic possible safety hazard or cause an accident Got to love stupid laws for equipment but politicians can fly private jets burning low grade fuel that pollutes worse with no emission controls for them!!!😖

It doesn't matter that your broke down, long as all the people continue handing money to politicians! That's what def stands for! Just keep complying!

In some newer semi trucks if you cycle the key a few times before starting you will get a little more time

I'm surprised the tech didn't have a dummy sensor blocker that he could put in for "testing" to allow tractor to get out of the field.

Mike I'm pulling for you with this AGCO equipment. We run all AGCO (Challenger. AGCO, White tractors, Gleaner combines) and have never had an issue with DEF. Not sure if there's anything different with Fendt but I'm hoping they get it figured out for you. I'd like to see more of those Fendts on your guys' farm.
