I like the oil bath type, and like the convenience of being able to clean it myself for just the price of a little oil. I also think the oil bath type catches smaller particles of dust that might get past a dry element. But sometimes it is not easy to find an oil bath air cleaner if they are gone from an old rig. If you have the oil bath that was made for your tractor, I would suggest carefully cleaning the sludge off the packing with solvent and clean the oil cup and then fill it up to the proper level with engine oil. It will probably work fine for as long as you want it to. If you don't have the right oil bath air cleaner and can't find one that will work, the you might have to use some kind of a dry filter system. I would suggest using the largest one you can find, and one that uses easy to get and inexpensive elements. You will be replacing the elements fairly often if you work the tractor in very dusty conditions. But most retrofits of dry element air cleaners on old tractors I have seen look very Mickey Mouse and stick out like a sore thumb. Good luck!
