re:If it were me I would just run the tractor with new oil and a new filter and then drain it, refill and put on a new filter and be done with it. I dont think that a tractor would need oil cleaner then what a 10 micron filter supplies.
If it's a 6 quart engine that's fine, but a 13 gallon hydraulic tank like mine would be $200 of oil and $25 filter.
One recomendation was: (From :http://www.insidersecretstohydraulics.com/hydraulic-oil.html)
To add hydraulic oil, and not the dirt, always filter new oil prior to use in a hydraulic system.
This can be accomplished by pumping the oil into the hydraulic reservoir through the system's return filter. The easiest way to do this is to install a tee in the return line and attach a quick-connector to the branch of this tee. Attach the other half of the quick-connector to the discharge hose of a drum pump.
When hydraulic oil needs to be added to the reservoir, the drum pump is coupled to the return line and the oil is pumped into the reservoir through the return filter. As well as filtering the oil, spills are avoided and the ingress of external contamination is prevented.
The benefits of carrying out this simple modification are well worth the minor cost involved.
