The amount of dirt I can blow out of a combine filter after just one day in extremely dirty conditions, I don't see how you could make it all harvest without cleaning. I'm old school I guess, but after 43 years I'll keep blowing them out regularly. Haven't ruined an engine yet. The poster who said they didn't buy a tractor after the owner said they blew the filter regularly is opposite of me. I would be tempted to pass on the tractor or combine whose owner said they never blew the filter. To each his own.


Every time you remove the air filter you risk contamination and when you blow it out you risk damaging the filter.


Ive seen days when I ran a 9600 combine that the light would come on by night, so you are saying to buy a new filter every day?


Well I've been running combines since in the 70s in about every condition imaginable and never plugged a filter in 1 day. If you're doing that you must have bigger problems than your air filter
