What does this warning light mean?

I see that that is an orange tractor. Our big John Deere had one of those on the side in a metal can type holder and was hard to get loose we we got the warning it needed changing.. Sorta looks like an old metal oil filter can type filter . I 'm think Messick's would have a diagram of the location for your model ? I hope so .
edit: when we changed it, it looked like a paper canister about like a salt box. It was all oily so did need changing.

Here is a pic of L3010 Filters ...the one I need is the big un. Plan to call local Kubota dealer and pick one up in the morning.
Yeah, Zoomer, I think it is the regular engine filter. I've never changed it.
I believe it was changed by the dealer when I had some other work done (but I'm not even positive of that right now).

Always check Wix and K&N filtersHere is a pic of L3010 Filters ...the one I need is the big un. Plan to call local Kubota dealer and pick one up in the morning.

K&N does individual type search …. The air was listed at $53 but most auto parts stores sell cheaper ….. my best friend owns a chain of stores.
I searched the air filter # and got $20 from Amazon

this is what I was talking about on our JD having one - don't know if yours has it though. Just posting what I found. 32 minute mark.
Got back to the tractor this morning. All lines to intake are clear. No obstructions. I also noticed when I turn the key on, before starting the tractor the warning light comes on. It never did that before. I had never even seen the light until this issue. To me, that indicates electrical, something with the light, not with the engine. I stopped there as no way I'm getting into the electronics. Made an appointment with dealer. Take it to him on the 25th. Till then I think I can use it and just be sure to watch that it does not overheat.
I saw this. Since you replaced filter it may be the sensor. Possibly clean or replace. The last comment stating if it comes on after turning key could be sensor. You still did good by removing cheapest concern first.
Replace/Clean Filters: Start by installing new primary/secondary elements or cleaning them with compressed air (inside out) or detergent/water if oily.
Check for Blockages: Inspect the entire air intake hose and housing for obstructions or cracks after the filters.
Inspect the Sensor: The air cleaner sensor (or dust sensor) is common point of failure.
Clean it: Gently clean the sensor and its connections.
Check Wiring: Look for corrosion or breaks in the sensor's wiring.
Verify Installation: Make sure the air filter cover is sealed properly, with any arrow pointing up, so dirt doesn't bypass the filter.
Reset/Check Electrical: If the light comes on immediately after turning the key (before starting), it might point to an electrical/sensor fault rather than just a dirty filter.
