Rerouting exhaust on L4400

[Hiptfarms]

I just bought a L4400 with 305 hours on it. It is primarily meant for my wife to use. She likes the tractor but it has one problem- the exhaust exits on the left bottom side of the tractor. This means the she winds up breathing in some if the exhaust which gives her migraines. Can the exhaust be rerouted? I'm hoping it can be sent upward like the exhaust on my M6800 which does not cause either of us any problems.

Some people have routed it to come out behind the rear wheels. They do it that way because it is easier to secure the exhaust pipe than trying to run it straight up.

As suggested above, routing under the belly may be an option, which puts the fumes out the back... which is great, until you do a lot of backing up, example, brushhogging spots where you back into rough stuff is common for me.

I built an over the top exhaust for mine that followed the limb risers of my roll cage, which most tractors dont have... heres the link to the build thread.

Might not be relivent to your situation, but might give ideas. Good luck.

That is for the info. I was concerned that adding to the length of the pipe might put too much back pressure on the engine. Should I be concerned?

I built mine from larger tubing to compensate for the longer length, and built my own "muffler" (that doesn't muffle much), loud as it is, it must flow good!
