Have a Ford 3 cyl. Muffler just fell off. Was doing some planting so finished planting. Was obnoxiously noisy as it was before the muffler fell off. Went to TSC and bought the longest fatest muffler I could find and installed it. Wasn't much better than the short open pipe (remnants of the one that fell off).

JD invented the Sound Guard Cab to help quiet entine noise but it doesn't. My 4230 at 100 hp, 6 cyl, with long oval muffler and small outlet pipe still makes a deafening noise in the cab and if you open the door look out.

I have been told that turbo equipped tractors are quieter. Have no turbo so don't know.

I use the little yellow ear plugs from Harbor Ft. Buy em by the gross. You squeeze them and roll them into a tight roll and stick them in your ear. They puff back up and seal your ear very well. You can hear the noise go away as they expand. Kinda neat.

Problem with plugs, is you can't hear machinery that tries to tell you when something is wrong and it's fixin to desintegrate.
