Good Price on Filters/Fluids from Kioti dealer. Is aftermarket better, cheaper, etc?

[TSO]

Picked up the necessary items for my 50HR service today (though I'm closer to the 100HR mark than 50 ). The prices seemed pretty competitive, considering they're factory parts from the dealer.

Fuel Filter - 5.00
Oil Filter - 10.00
Hydraulic Filter - 22.00
HST Filter - 16.00
1 gal 15w-40 - 13.75
6 gal Trans/Hydro fluid - 52.00
1 QT 80w-90 (front axle) - 5.00

Total was $123.75 before tax.

Seems like a pretty fair price to me... doesn't it?

Aftermarket can't be much cheaper, unless I'm just really bad at finding/searching for the parts.

So, good deal or not?

I would say that is a very good deal!

That's definately a good deal. I don't know how fast you put hours on the tractor but at that price, I would buy filters and oil for your next two service intervals and store them. Prices only seem to go up!

Double the price for parts sup here...

Sweet - yet another reason to be happy with my dealer. They even impressed me by recommending against spending money on a new air filter... I was planning on just blowing it out anyways, but it is always refreshing when a dealership is fair and honest, and doesn't just try to take your money.

Van Paemel's in Armada, Michigan... Btw

what dealer do you use, I would be interested in seeing if they would ship me the parts.

I just picked up filters for my DK45SC.
Fuel 3.87
Oil 9.55
Hydraulic 24.31

Seems reasonable and supports your dealer.

Recently I bought a third-party air filter for my DK35. The original was Donaldson P822768, and I replaced with K&N E-4962. It is a perfect fit and it has the famous K&N life-time warranty. It can be cleaned and reused indefinitely. I think I only paid 35 or 40 dollars.
I use K&N air filters in all my vehicles, for 25 years - from my Corvette to my tractor. These are excellent products.
