I've never paid that much for a Kioti filter. I don't know who you're dealing with, but they're wanting to get well on you.

How can you tell an oil filter fails? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I don't have a clue other than that when I change the oil I would see a lot of sediment and maybe some metal in the oil, maybe.
I'm not the one that mentioned failure anyway.

I have yet to see where someone got the HST filter for a CK20HST for $11, the one that goes up on the platform, not under the tractor. It's more expensive than the one under the tractor for the rest of the hydraulics, but I still haven't paind nearly the mentioned price.

I don't have a thing against an aftermarket filter as long as my warranty has run through. I don't give MFG any reason at all to try to void my warranty, so I use their equipment until it's over.

I was addressing unhappy John, sorry, clicked the wrong reply button. I'm thinking unless all the filter material was floating around in your oil pan or something, you'd be hard pressed to know the filter failed. I've never seen a filter failure personally.

Why should it be any different with tractors?


Cause the tractor cost more than the cars, does a lot more than the cars can do, and will out last the cars. The original oil filters are not that expensive. Real men insist on only the best for their tractors. The cars - well any old thing is OK /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That really doesn't answer your question, just having some fun. If you're comfortable buying any old brand, hey, go for it.

I had one ford style canister oil filter on my dozer collapse internally. I looked in the hole and all the inner metal and filter media was squished up.

I buy the OEM kioti filters becuase I don't believe that there are equivalents yet. When I can go to NAPA and say "Kioti CK30HST" and they start cranking out numbers then I will feel more comfortable. I did that with my IH dozer and it worked fine. The air filter is expensive but I will change it when it is due and I noticed that it has a baldwin part number stamped on it. I would be comfortable with purchasing a replacement Baldwin filter with the same # from Baldwin.

cars also run at an average of 20% of their max operating load, while industrial equipment is closer to 80%

it is very easy to tell with a fuel filter, which is what i was talking about, it gets hard starting and acts like there is air in the fuel system, when the filter is removed it is only half full, normally when an oil filter fails there is a drop in oil pressure.
