I would consider buying a Gill or Walker spark arrestor. They are somewhere just north of $100.00. I will quiet it some and still allow the exhaust to flow freely. Some mufflers can create a lot of back pressure.
Back pressure can improve performance too. I fitted a muffler to my old International tractor and it transformed its performance, effectively moving the power band up a gear!
Missed my guess...I would have bet you were in Boulder County...😉
Close enough. We actually didn't buy in Boulder County on purpose but when you have a 25 year old golden eagle nest on the property I guess it is worth taking that into account. For the most part the eagles don't care what we do at all but in the interest of being a good neighbor I'll do what is within reason.
I have tried going down that route of bending over backwards to keep people happy and I have found most times Im just making a rod for my own back and some people are never happy no matter how much I give
Having said that I like things to be as quiet as I can so I would fit a muffler anyway for me and my own purposes not any one elses

Never did care for the taste of golden eagles.
You need some new neighbors.

Hello , as you see , in the army it was normal to equip the D7's with mufflers . I bought one of them and the muffler stayed on the machine , not only for myself but also for my neighbours .

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
