Kioti filter cross reference number list (all models)

I knew this was coming, do yourself a favor and stick with OEM filters. It's not worth the effort to save 15 bux on a cheaply made filter and have issues then the dealer says BYE-BYE no warranty. Then you go blah blah blah and hire a lawyer, then the lawyer goes BLAH BLAH BLAH and out cometh your wallet.

Have seen it a few times with vehicle warranty issues; it's just not worth the savings. If you want to save a dollar stop drinking beer for a few nights.

I think that argument holds pretty well for individuals, but not so much for fleet owners.

I think the burden of proof is actually on the manufacturer to prove that the filter caused the failure. It would be a pretty open and shut case, if they couldn't produce any tangible evidence, and this would be a small claims case (in Canada at least), so the cost would be minimal, and wouldn't really require a lawyer.

I for one buy aftermarket for my Kubota, which is under warranty, out of convenience, because the dealer is an hour away. For my Kioti, I buy the OEM, because the dealer is close by and the prices are perfectly reasonable. That being said, the Kubota filter prices are also very reasonable. I might save at best $2 on a filter. The Super UDT2 tractor fluid is a spectacular price and one of the top performing fluids, so I have no issue driving an hour to get it if need be.

I personally hate gouging and re-branding, but I have to say until I can find a guaranteed 1:1 equivalent filter for the HST and Hydraulics, I'm sticking with OEM. I just don't know enough about them right now to pick a safe substitute.

Oil filter, now that is a different story. Plenty of excellent filters out there, with teardowns and stated performance levels. So IF the OEM price is out of whack, I won't hesitate to go elsewhere for that.

Hey I'm new to the chat, just purchased a 2017 CK2610, I'm looking for a cross-reference for the T468243172 fuel filter, anyone had any luck with WIX or any other decent brand?

Just read through this thread looking for the crossover for the NX series fuel filters that takes Kioti p/n: F6800-16111 The only reference I found in this thread was Baldwin BF5587 but not to use it with the water sensor. Huh?

Meanwhile out in the land of eBay, I notice the vender has carefully not taken the photo of the part number of this Baldwin filter with the water sensor.

Anybody find a good cross reference to Six, Napa Gold, or Donaldson for Kioti's F6800-16111 fuel filter?

Eric, There isn't one yet. Somewhere on TBN I posted how I drilled and tapped out the bottom hole to fit the water sensor in that filter. I do them in an upright position to allow the chips to fall out. I have been doing this right along and have not had any issues with these filters. According to both Baldor and Kioti the Baldor filter has a very slight advantage over the Kioti filter for micron ratings. I called them both and asked for the micron ratings.
