If the system is clean to start with, a filter on the return is best just as M Diesel said. On our test machines and customer machines (tractors, skid steer, swathers, combines, etc.), we filtered the return with a finer mesh, in our case a 10 micron filter and customers sometimes used a 25 mic. On customer machines, there was typically just a screen on the suction, but on our test machines we installed a large 74 or 49 micron screen element. We also on test machines had a circulating system, which you will not have on a tractor or implement, that had a large capacity 10 mic filter as well as a cooling or temperature control system.
A couple of things to consider here.... 1. You can not use a very fine micron element in a suction line, because as the filter fills with contaminant, it will "choke off" really quickly, like a snowball effect. and 2. In cold weather conditions, or even just normal cold start conditions, the filter will not flow as easily. Like I said, we over-sized the flow capacity and used a 49 or more often, a 74 mic cleanable steel element.
