Its a great idea, especially if you put a lot of hours on it or run in high temps. You could also get a larger filter and hold more oil, you can add a cooler they are pretty cheap. While my mower does have an oil pump it also has remote filter and a cooler, its a sweet setup. That one even uses hydraulic hoses to connect it all. You can get little power steering coolers cheap, they are about what they use on lawn engines with oil coolers.

Almost makes me think of the cooler guys here use on sleds for grass drags. They put brass couplings on the coolant hoses (larger version of air hose couplings). Then they fill a cooler with ice with a radiator in the bottom, screw a 12v trailer water pump on top, attach 12v power and circulate the coolant a few minutes to cool off the motor for the next pass. Unhook and you are ready. You could do the same thing with 5qt (or however much) of oil and an filter, every 10 hours of riding just suck all the oil out and filter it and circulate new back in. Should last quite a while before you replace all the oil. You would have to change that a little since the oil is not a closed system.
