Hi guys. I have a B7100 with the standard horizontal exhaust. The exhaust fumes can really be a bit much if you spend any amount of seat time on it. Does changing the exhaust to a vertical position help at all?
If so, do you have any recommendations of which exhaust to change to?
Thanks!

I have 3 tractors.
8N and Kubota L48 TLB have horizontal exhaust (under).
Ford 1920 FEL has vertical exhaust.....it blows in my face, and STIMKS!

I saw a post on the other tractor forum one time about a guy who bought some flexible exhaust pipe and routed it under the tractor to exhaust from the rear.

Post #4 shows what I did. Vast improvement over stock exhaust.

You really don't need much of anything else to change it to vertical, just unbolt it and turn it 90 degrees.
I added a sort strait pipe and a flapper to one of mine.
