When I went on a training day when my boss bought Our claas forager the training bloke was very adamant that you don’t blow out the air filters in that unless it comes up on the screen that the air cleaner is blocked… when it did eventually come up the air cleaner was blocked it’s a wonder the f**king thing was running when I took them outHad a JCB telehandler on demo the other week, salesmen and demo driver both said don’t blow out the filter on this machine, it’s a daily routine in the summer on our tractors so
good point, only ever had one on our old fords 7610 s and on the combines .I don't know why more people don't fit pre-cleaners.
we were told by our claas service manager modern honey combe elements should never be blown out!Modern dry element air filters are designed to be cleaned by air.
In that case then my 2 main machines on silage would need a new filter every 2 to 3 days at 50 quid eachwe were told by our claas service manager modern honey combe elements should never be blown out!
Is that the Donaldson power core type? There's one on our valtra and it's the same part number for some class. Says in the book to only clean it a maximum of so many times but it's bulllsh!t. The inner safety filter is spotless 100% of the timewe were told by our claas service manager modern honey combe elements should never be blown out!
yes thats the one, have 2 arions here one runs dirty all the time, just renewed the other and it looks like new.Is that the Donaldson power core type?

Never had the light come yet, probably doesn't work. Only been replaced once in 4000 hours out of pure guilt and it didn't make any difference to it running at all.yes thats the one, have 2 arions here one runs dirty all the time, just renewed the other and it looks like new.
weve never had alight come on but the one that runs dirty has had issues. if the air cleaner has a fault code its prob the only one that hasnt come up.Never had the light come yet, probably doesn't work.

All my machines except the digger have the system where the air intake spins the air and most of the dirt is sucked out by a venturi to the exhaust system so makes the old bowl system redundant.I don't know why more people don't fit pre-cleaners.
