Cab Air Filtration Question

[Haoleguy]

I'm trying to plan ahead for a new vineyard planting next year and am starting to look online at used narrow cab tractors in the 60-90hp range. My question is one of efficiency of the air filtration for the cab while spraying. Since I'm in the used market it's difficult to know what is offered by the manufacturers and how good these cab air systems are for filtration. For narrow tractors I'm looking at JD (5x10N, 55x5N, & 5093EN), Kubota (Mxx40N), New Holland (TNxxF series), and McCormick(F series)/Landini (Rex F series). Do all of these have good active charcoal filters with easy maintenance? Some better than others? Appreciate any insight on these tractors and their air handling systems......Cheers, Gary

New Holland TN/F or V tractors have charcoal cab intake filers available. They did not use any recirculation filter until the "A" series was introduced. The recirc filters are either a conventional pleated paper element or a heavier-duty "anti-pollen" pleated paper filter. New Holland does not offer a charcoal recirculation filter, and none is available in the aftermarket that I can find. Current production T4xxxF/V tractors use the exact same cab filters as the previous 'A' series.
