What is the straight dope on straight pipes? The muffler on my 1066 fell apart after about 3 years. I replaced it with a chrome straight pipe. I liked the look, and the sound. I ran the tractor for another 5 years, before trading, with the straight pipe without a lick of trouble. Yet several mechanics have told me that straight pipes are hard on valves. Any thoughts? Thanks.

On the 1066 either mufler or straight pipe would be the same as the turbo creates all the back presure anyhow. I had two turbo tractors and couldn't see much difference between mufler and pipe on noise. It's been my experience that if pipe is above you on tractor seat you don't get much effect of the noise anyhow. When you have that much pipe as riverbend said pipe will protect engine.

Over the past 100 years of tractors, short pipes on tractors have caused users as much brain damage, from breathing in fumes, as it did ear damage from sound.

Hugh, Thanks for diagnosing my problem. It must have been those years snorting those fumes from the exhaust pipe of the W-9. That also may explain why the furrows kept getting crookeder and crookeder as the day wore on. Its also a good thing I can read, cause I sure cant hear much.

Paul: As I look back over the past 56 years since I was first aquainted to the seat of a W4 with wagon and hayloader, and some of the other seating and operator platform arrangements. Couple that with 14 to 16 hour days on such animals as SA, W4, H, 300, 130 and 560, one has to wonder just when the brain damage occured.

We really never knew confort in a tractor seat and the operators platform until the 04 - 06 series came along. What a great feeling it was to sit in the seat of that 656 for the long day, and be able to change position. Have to ask yourself, how we ever let the industry off with that one so damn long.

hugh, We're down to the last 50 or so acres of soy beans. Its been an adventure whittling around wet spots. Its supposed to be 5 or 6 straight days of dry weather so maybe by the first of the week, I can finish without getting stuck A-g-a-i-n. Will write you when finished and give you a detailed saga of how this spring (now summer) planting has gone. Not for the feint of heart, I can assure you.

Paul: I know just what you've going through. Talked with a neighbor on Mon. past, he had 1,100 acres to go. Some guys over here jusy gave up for awhile and went to MI playing golf. One problem with that, as a percentage of the total the golf ball sunk into soil more than tractor did at home.

There is some quite badly stunted corn and to a lesser degree winter wheat from laying in water. I was down Chatam a week ago this past Thurs. and my guess is up to 80% of fields laying in water. Corn was above it though. You can look at corn fields and growth tells the high water mark.

Straight pipes are harder on your ears than the valves. An open header can let cold air get back to the exhaust valve, but a pipe of any length shouldn't cause any problems.
