The oil strainer is 25 micron, plus or minus 10 micron, and dosen't tend to trap anything more than big chunks of debris. Most (66%) of the contaminates are iron and are down in the 5 to 10 micron size and are all different shapes so they tend to go right through the strainer. ( Oaklahoma State, Fluid Engineering Services, analyzed the trans oil contaminate sizes and elemental break down)
A magnet in the pan will trap those iron particles and Ford already put one of those in to do just that. You could remove the pan to clean the magnet or add more magnets if you want. The magnets become ineffective after they plate over with metal fines.
If you were to pump out the approximate 4 quarts out of the pan and replace that amount of oil then drive the vehicle for 10 miles and do that repeatedly it would take about 5 drains and refills to get the new oil content to approximately 10 quarts of the 12 quart system or about 85% and you wouldn't have to open the system to do it. Make sure you use a good grade of the specified oil for your transmission.
Lubrizol makes most of the additive packages for the name brand oils but there have been instances of the base oil not being compatible with the factory fill and that can cause gelling of the oil.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
