Vertical exhaust; quieter?

ddivinia · Sep 22, 2006

My 4720 is so loud (engine noise), I dont think any exhaust would make any difference. One thing to consider with vertical exhaust is if you trailer it with it pointed forward, you might get garbage ingested into the engine. it happens - just something to think about.

I have the standard exhaust on my 4720 - it puts exhaust on the FEL, etc - don't like that part.

5525 cab with vertical exhaust - works fine. Seems to vibrate a bunch and still worry about something rolling down the stack.

Do they make a vertical exhaust for the 2520?

They do not make Vertical Exhaust for the 2520

I think the vertical exhaust would be nice to keep the soot off of the FEL. I notice that my FEL is almost BLACK completely on the left side and not on the right. I might get the vert exhaust just to avoid the cleaning time

I had the Vert Exhaust installed on my 3320Cab when they did the service. (I also had the Rear Wiper kit, Dual Rear Work Lights, Beacon Light Kit, and Hydro and Engine heaters installed while it was in.)

The exhaust makes the tractor look better, but my only complaint is that the exhaust is mounted on the same side that the main cab door is (the one with the piston to keep it open), and when you get in and out of the tractor, you get a healthy dose of exhaust in your face. I would have like it more if the exhaust kit rerouted the fumes to the other side of the machine.

Canoli, spin your stack 180 degrees and see if that helps.

I found out on my tractor I keep the Exhaust pointed straight forward, and I have Zero Problems at all. I don't have any soot on my loader at all, and I'm not breathing exhaust when I get in and out of the tractor. The soot disperses so much in the air, that I would have to have my loader raised all the time for any soot to appear on the Loader cross tube.... I really do like it pointing forward instead of to the sides.....

Your cross tube is still about 4'-5' away from the Exhaust stack when you have it raised.... so you don't have the direct soot build up on your loader arms as you would if it turned to the left side.. because your loader arms would only be about 1' away from the exhaust.

I have mine mounted like jasonmac has his - toward the front. The other preference would be toward the right on a cab tractor. I have to admit toward the front looks a little strange. I didn't like turning it toward the right because the curve of the pipe is more in my direct vision and it also looks a little strange as well. When it is curved toward the front, it looks like a straight pipe from the drivers seat.
On a non-cab tractor it would definitely curve to the left.

Has anyone ever considered putting a rain flap on a vertical pipe? Instead of a curve in the upper pipe, cut off the curve and install the flap. When engine is not running, the flap keeps out rain, debris, etc. Just put the hinge side to the front. This allows the flap to stay down during trailering and will move if you hit a low limb.

Isn't this what coffee cans are for?
