On tractors, combines, and construction equipment they produce many fewer units and can not afford to build a custom air cleaner housing, so they buy off the shelf units from Donaldson that meet their flow requirements. Also they work in the dirt more and need more filter area. Donaldson has chosen to make their filter housings in a round can configuration and since the off road equipment has a lot of space under the hood, who cares?
From a practical standpoint, spend the $25 and buy an air restriction indicator and install it in you air box:

Just don't follow the combines too close that are harvesting the Soybeans used to make Biodiesel, it may clog your air filter very fast.
But look on the bright side, a gasser will catch on fire when covered in soybean dust but your CRD won't

Good thinking and Funny.
Have had a lot of time with cannister Air filters and was impressed the way they can swirl the dust into an emptyable cover.
10,000 miles on an air filter, ok, but it seems a cannister would have more filter area and with the centrifical force of the air pushing particles away from the filter membrane, last longer.
Some of those Donaldson's were small.
