| Last year I hired a custom harvest crew to cut wheat with me. They had two Gleaner S67's and I have 1. They blew their air filter out every morning before starting and since it was only my second year of combine ownership I began mimicking them.
As I think about it though I'm not sure why I would do that. It had a resettable indicator for the air filter. It doesn't seem short on power if I skip a day or a week. I feel like I'm more likely to damage th filter with frequent cleaning and I'm pretty sure I would rather have a plugged filter than a damaged filter even though it has a backup filter.
Our 2011 Steiger owners manual specifically says to toss the filter when you need to blow it out a fourth time. I always wait until the filter restriction alarm on the cornerlost goes off before cleaning that one.
What do the NAT experts say? | |

How often do you blow out your air filters?
