Never. Just change them. Too risky to blow out air filters with hired help.
I agree with this one most. I've had young bucks working for me who struggle to change oil on a chevy pickup correctly. Last thing I want him doing is screwing with air filters on my 9870STS.
On my combines I buy a new filter each year, blow out at end of wheat harvest, and run it through beans. So far, no troubles. Seems like some rigs plug up more often. My ole JD 8820 trips the light more often than the others.....filter is maybe smaller. My 4WDs make it through springs work with no cleaning, blow out before fall's work and replace in winter.
Some peoples conditions warrant more often cleaning. But if you get a hole, the dirt machines the oil control rings down to nothing. They are the first to go. |
How often do you blow out your air filters?
