Sorry about that F350Lawman. I thought it was just the pipe (past the muffler) that was vertical.

Well no need to apologize, you might be right. Maybe on his model it is just a difference on how the pipe vents??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Guess the only real advantage to top mount would be if you are operating in dry brush and want to minimize the chances of the hot exhaust tip from contacting tall grass. Not really a concern for me but I had no choice on my model.
For most folks the underhood probably is neater appearing and gives sleeker lines. I like my no frills, straight geared retro looking 790 though /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

when I still had my JD 790 I had both the tall exhaust pipe
and the short stack. When I used the short stack
I had to breath more diesel fumes. When I used the tall
stack the fumes were less but occassionally I had a hot
piece of carbon hit me in the face and it was a real hassle
to manuever around small low hanging branches.
I eventually opted for the short stack most of the time.
Neither seemed ideal for me. I like the low exhaust down
near the front axle on my 4310 better than either location
on the 790.

My exhaust pipe exits to the front and down. I'm going to cut it and make it exit strait to the side. The downward direction blows dust into a huge cloud. The forward direction of the pipe catches on stray branches to the point I cary plyers to rebend it and pull branches out of it on a regular basis.

By backhoe exhaust goes strait up. I've never had a problem with fumes or catching on branches. As far as obstructing the view, I don't even notice it. The flaper valve wore out and I need to replace it, but that's only $10 at TS.

Not that it's a huge issue, but I think my local co-op charges about $5.00 for a 2 1/2 inch flapper.

I have often thought about getting the vertical stack option. When doing loader work the exhaust will blow mulch and landscape fabric all over the place. When it's dry and dusty out the exhaust causes a duststorm. I cut all the branches in most of my yard so i can get clearance for the tractor rops so i am not worried about hitting a muffler. I don't have a vertical muffler yet because it costs money I don't want to spend. If I was doing landscaping fo it for a living I would not hesitate to get a vertical muffler.

My exhaust originally exited in front of the front axel. It kicked up dust and occasionally I noticed sparks coming out when operating after dark. I bought the kit from JD for $89 and installed the vertical exhaust. No more dust kicked up, sparks die before getting to the ground, and no breathing fumes. Besides, I think it looks more like a tractor now /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
I like it.

I love rain cap exhausts. On our Massey 135 I like the pinging sound when the cap hits the pipe at idle. Don't know why they don't put these on tractors no more.
