: : : I was thinking about going back to the exhaust : : going down and under the tractor it already has : : the down manifold (someone has done a 180 on the exhaust pipe to convert it to overhead)What is : : the pros and cons of underslung exhaust? Pro: when equipped with underslung exhaust and a loader, without a rollbar, the tractor can duck under ceilings for use in barns (older loafing sheds on dairy farms come to mind). Con: when used in a dry stubble field, or around windrowed dry hay, the underslung exhaust can be a fire hazard. Pro: if used for mowing or brushhogging in an area with low tree limbs, underslung exhaust gives you more clearance. Con: if you use a machine like a transplanter on the back where someone must ride, they get all the fumes from the underslung pipe.
