Not on my BW Velvet Drive, but I do have a filter on my hydraulic thruster that uses tranny fluid. I don't know what micron size it is but I could get the name/number off of it if you need it. You could also visit Tractor Supply or a local tractor parts house and see what they use for hydraulic oil filters.
I think a larger line after the filter would help minimize the P drop.
You could always add a pressure gage and learn.
I also had a Hurth tranny that has a course mesh type filter built in. So filtering might be a good idea.
