UPDATE- I bush hogged 10 acres earlier today and tractor went through a regen. Once the regen was complete, I stopped the tractor and felt the mirror. It was not any warmer than the other mirror. The angle actually has it blowing between the cab and the mirror perfectly. The cab glass or mirror is not effected by this current angle. I would consider this problem resolved.

Problem Solved! I unscrewed the 3 screws holding the exhaust end on, rotated until the screw holes lined back up which 2 out of 3 did and made 1 new hole. Screwed back on and done. There was no way I was fooling with putting a sock over that every time I trailer it. Now it faces to the rear. No wind or rain will be forced down when trailering. I like this look better as well. Not sure why Kubota doesn't do this angle from the factory.

Be very careful that you are not directing exhaust gasses towards your ventilation system. Nearly killed me years ago and that was with no back window.

I know the company that did our heavy hauling used turbo savers or duct tape. Nothing left on a trailer without the exhaust being covered with one or the other.
