As big a one as you can find. Basically if the aperture on the engine side is the same size or larger than the original you will be OK. It's only if restricts flow that you will wind up with problems. The other consideration is dust conditions. Dusty conditions require more surface area so they don't plug as fast. So a small filter that fits the induction may not be big enough.
As far as the naysayers are concerned: Back in the day of the oil bath on a car engine most car engines were starting to burn oil sometime after 50,000 miles and got rebuilt between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. Today engines with paper element filters are running 200,000 plus miles without being oil burners. So the car companies have lost sales of new cars and parts by going to the dry filter. So how is that ripping the customer off? And most people are not buying OEM filters!
I had an industrial engine a few years ago. Built in 1960. As far as oil it came 3 ways. Without a filter for applications where the engine was only run a few hours a year in a clean environment, remote or spin on filter. It was also offered with both oil bath and dry paper filters for air. According to the owners manual for the engine max engine life before rebuild with the oil bath air cleaner was about 5,000 hours in that clean environment. Also stated that with the dry paper filter it would run 5K hours in "extreme" environment and 10K hours in a clean environment. Now I expect the "clean environment" would have been as a stand by generator.
But I know, I know, it's a secret plot to make you spend more money! And I know your tractor is X number of years old and still running. I really doubt it's running on original liners, pistons, rings or bearings or even the first rebuild. I'll let you naysayers who believe it's a plot in on a little secret. The ability to keep a secret is directly proportional to the number of people who know it. And in something like the automotive/truck/AG/construction equipment industries keeping a secret like that would be impossible.
