Exhaust conversion from grass burner to stack

Good job.

An update to my exhaust conversion, I used to get about 12 hours out of pushing heavy wet snow working it hard. Now I get 15. I never let the fuel gauge get down below the 1/4 full mark. None of my equipment sits overnight with less than 3/4 of a tank of fuel summer or winter.

I am going 'fancy' in spring...4"x48 with a 45° turn either stainless steel or chrome.

The 4" stack didn't happen. I'm staying with the 3".

What's the reason for the low level exhaust in the first place?

Probably so it doesn’t blow in your face.

I changed my 4410 from a low to a high exhaust because of exhaust in the face while snow blowing.

I could be wrong but it's probably due to appearances and less chance of shipping damage.

Edit: I should maybe add that I have a front mount snow blower. The exhaust fumes in the face was terrible with the low exhaust.

I think it is so you get exhaust smoke and heat all over your loader arms. And also so you get crappy fuel consumption.

Mind you the Kioti I have is a 2012 model, so I didn't have any worries about emissions.
So far this winter I have 8 hours of pushing snow on 1/2 tank of fuel. The same fuel that heats my house runs my tractor, the only exception is the ounce of power service (white bottle) anti-gel I put in every other fuel up.

And I just dumped a qt and a half of Hot Shots anti gell in my 250 gallon tank. So it's all ready to go, of course when the weather folks starting talking sub zero F I also added some kerosene to the tractor. Just to besure.

An ounce of prevention is worth a lot of frozen fingers and the inconvenience of shoveling.
