Forward or back, they tend to catch on tree branches.
We always put them out to the side, but here is where Dad and I differ on the subject:
1. Dad mostly doesn't care, but tends to put the mufflers on with the weight toward the middle of the tractor.
2. I am OCD about it, and I have to have the weight to the OUTside of the tractor. I.E., when the exhaust is on the left, the weight points out to the left.

Moreover, all you have to do is forget your soup can just once, and you can end up with expensive engine damage.
Given the amount of noise these tractors make, the occasional "ting" from the rain cap at idle seems inconsequential to me.
