You will have no problems, I have been doing the same thing since back in the 1990s with my dodge. I was having tons of problem with dry starts and lifter noise. Put a different filter on it one day and problem went away. Starting researching it and found a bigger filter to fit thinking bigger was better (as a general rule it is) but the problem came back. Turned out to be a classic Fram filter problem that I read about from the minimopar web site, again switched filter and problem went away for good.
Moral of the story is, dispite begger being better, there are differences in filter construction. Read up a little, bobistheoilguy.com is a good site. In my case, the drain back valve on a factory filter was a problem as was on the Fram, because Fram made the factory filter. Any filter other than a Fram would actually seal and not drain back the oil.
Most filters that you would want to stock up on would have specs that you can reference; flow rate, pressure release valve opening rating, even particle filtering rate. Compair that to your factory filter requirements and you are GTG. A larger filter will usually be better in every respect, with the exception of pressure relief setting, those vary at times without ryme or reason.
Bottom line, I will bet a jelly donut that you wont have a problem finding a single large filter that will work well on all 4 of your machines.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
