Aftertreatment in a wheat field?

Yes there is a switch to keep it from regenning. If it has a weedburner exhaust u may still be at risk of fire

 

Well with combine fires being commen I'd be worried.

 

I know someone who hauls flatbed and their shipper doesn’t want them to shut off the engine while they are loaded.
They do a manual regen every morning to clear out the spot from idling all night.

but it’s not in a wheat field.

I’d stay away from any truck with emission crap on it .
But I’m not sure they even made trucks with automatics and no emission .

or get a truck with an automatic thats out of warranty and delete the emission crap. But just don’t take it to a stealership for service , you gotta use a Indy mechanic .

 

You may be ok since it is not a weedburner. Just make sure it doesnt regen while in the field. Whenever i go off road into the forest with my truck , i turn off regen mode and havent had any problems in 2 years. Have parked directly on top of grass and brush with a weedburner and im still here to tell the story

 

Detroit’s have a parameter to allow a driver initiated manual regen in earlier zones than is regularly allowed.
From factory it is set to allow a manual regen in zone 3 ( the yellow light comes on telling you to do a regen) or zone 4 ( the red light comes on insisting that you do a regen).
It can be set to zone 1 (any time you want) or zone 2 (any time you want and the truck thinks it could sorta kinda use one soon anyway).
Guys in short haul operations found they can run around most days without issue, and then do a manual regen in the yard at the end of the day when it is convenient.
Not sure if Cummins has the same parameter setting, but they provide a lot of the parts in the Detroit system, so it probably does have the capability.

 

My biggest concern wouldnt be fire in the field, provided the stubble is cut short.... It would be all the dust that will accumulate on the DPF while in the field. That dust, as I'm sure you know, is highly flammable and could very likely burst into flames while regening ANYWHERE.
