All machines do run filters to remove this and if they didn't they would quickly fail if dirt or metal particles got in the system. My main concern is the type of oil they ran, a filter won't be able to change that and even possible water contamination. There really is no way to purge all the oil from the attachment before use, but you can drain as much as possible for peace of mind.With that said, i do remember Ken saying his brush mower was destroyed when he loaned it out and someone got dirt in the lines through the quick couplers. Dropping them in the dirt and NOT cleaning them is a quick way to kill an attachment and your machine. A filter would have surly saved the day here.</blockquote>
