Baldwin PT725-MPG Hydraulic Filter Element
This Baldwin Filters PT725-MPG is a cartridge-type hydraulic filter element designed for equipment maintenance. It fits Barber-Greene and John Deere machinery where a 5-micron glass media element is specified. The unit includes an integral gasket for a direct seal without separate hardware. It serves operators who need a replacement element that matches original dimensions and filtration rating.
5-Micron Glass Media Filtration Limit
The Maximum Performance Glass media is rated at a 5-micron nominal rating, which defines the practical particle size it will consistently capture. Finer contaminants below this threshold can pass through the element and remain in the hydraulic circuit. The cartridge design has no thread size, so it installs only in housings built for this specific element geometry. Systems requiring tighter micron control or a different sealing method cannot use this filter.
Upgrade From Standard Cellulose Elements
This element replaces standard cellulose cartridges where glass media offers longer service intervals and higher dirt-holding capacity. The jump is worth it when hydraulic systems run extended hours or operate in high-contamination environments that plug paper media quickly. It does not suit applications that demand a finer micron rating, a spin-on canister format, or a different outside diameter for the housing.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the PT725-MPG or a different Baldwin hydraulic element?
The PT725-MPG is a Maximum Performance Glass cartridge rated at 5 microns with integral gasket, 9 11/16 in height and 4 1/2 in outside diameter; choose it when your Barber-Greene or John Deere equipment calls for those exact dimensions.
What does the 5-micron rating mean once the filter is installed?
It traps particles 5 microns and larger, keeping hydraulic fluid clean enough to protect pumps and valves in Barber-Greene and John Deere machines under normal operating pressure.
Which thread standard fits the PT725-MPG housing?
Thread size is not applicable; the element uses an integral gasket and slides into a cartridge housing rather than threading on, so match the 4 1/2 in outside diameter and 2 1/4 in inside diameter instead.
