Well, all but the very latest engines - running inside an enclosure - will be odiferous, particularly during a cold idle. That's when there are more soot particulates exhausted. At operating temperature and operating revs, combustion is more complete - which results in less soot and smell. That's just Diesel 101. Things will change though when you buy an IT4 tractor.All of them had the left lower exit exhaust and they all would about choke me when the weather was cold or in tight confines with a strong odor of diesel fuel. They also would all leave a sooty deposit on the left lower hood/side panel and on the loader arm on that side.
