1. A cooler for a work vehicle, the cooler comprising:
at least one cooler core;
a cooling fan associated with the at least one cooler core to produce a stream of air across the at least one cooler core; and
a dust removal assembly comprising a filter associated with the at least one cooler core such that the stream of air passes through at least one collection surface of the filter;
wherein the dust removal assembly further comprises:
a suction channel placed such that it does not substantially interfere with the stream of air passing across the at least one cooler core;
a blower fluidly coupled to the suction channel and configured to produce a suction region in and adjacent to the suction channel; and
a filter carrier configured to non-rotationally translate the filter in a translation direction through the suction region such that particles captured by the filter are pulled into the suction channel, wherein the translation of the filter results in the filter being linearly translated across at least a portion of a cooler core width dimension of the cooler core extending in the translation direction.
