Description

When you’re pushing 400-plus horsepower through dusty fields during planting or tillage, that hydraulic system is working overtime. The last thing you need is contaminated oil turning your smooth-running hydraulics into jerky, expensive problems. This Baldwin air breather filter keeps clean air flowing into your hydraulic tank while blocking out the dust, chaff, and moisture that can wreak havoc on expensive hydraulic components.

Built for Big Iron Work

This breather filter is designed for Steiger 4WD tractors – the big articulated machines that handle the heavy lifting on large farms. Whether you’re pulling 40-foot cultivators, running massive planters, or doing deep tillage work, these tractors spend long hours in dusty conditions where hydraulic protection is critical. The breather typically mounts on top of the hydraulic reservoir and needs regular attention during service intervals.

Made to Last

Baldwin has been making quality filters for decades, and this breather is built to handle the punishment that comes with big tractor work. The robust construction stands up to engine vibration, temperature swings, and the constant pressure cycles of hard-working hydraulic systems. Quality materials mean reliable performance throughout the service interval.

Installation Notes

This is a straight swap for your original breather – just unthread the old one and install the new filter. If you notice the old breather is plugged with dirt or debris, that means it’s been doing its job protecting your hydraulic system. Check it during regular service intervals and replace when it gets dirty or restricted.
