SE MN | No way I would clean it every day. I would maybe clean it a couple times during harvest when it starts to plug and then replace it. Definitely start each season with a new filter. Check the safety element every time the primary element is out to see if it has any dirt in it. If the safety shows any dirt, replace both. Cleaning an air filter does damage to it and will eventually cause it to leak. The safety element does not filter the air like the primary, but it does alert you to a leak in the primary. Some guys will always clean them too often and have reasons for it. Having a tail wind while combining or other particular conditions will plug a filter quickly, but that doesn't change the fact that excessive cleaning of an air filter is not good for anything except putting dirt into an engine. Good luck. | |

How often do you blow out your air filters?
