Initially I thought it was very weird that my little 47hp tractor didn’t have a stack. Has a pipe that exits near the left front wheel like it’s some kind of overgrown lawn mower.
Maybe it’s the exhaust placement or maybe it’s the DPF doing its job, but the exhaust in the face when the wind is blowing just right or not blowing at all is something I really don’t miss.
If you have a cab, maybe it doesn’t matter. Don’t know; never had one. And I’m aware some enjoy huffing diesel exhaust. No judgement if you’re one of them. Regardless, a stack definitely looks better IMO.
