KiOTI Parts & Filters Source/ Looking for Non-Dealer Recommended Supplier

[scottlaw]

I find Kioti Service Dealers scarce, overpriced and very slow for general replacement parts, like hydraulic, oil, fuel and air filters, fuel sending unit, fuel tank, etc.

Any recommendations for non-dealer suppliers who are reasonable on their prices?

Tractors are generally long-term purchases. Be cautious considering NAPA, Auto Zone, etc for filters and other critical bits.

Tractor fuel tanks are often, not always, odd shaped. You are probably stuck with a Kioti OEM replacement tank.

I've owned a DK-35sehst and now a DK-40se/hst. In neither case do I scrimp on OEM parts. I do buy UTF from TSC, and have also bought Kioti's branded hydraulic fluids too, once they began selling them.
I have used Napa, or re-branded/labeled Donaldson air filters, especially the second filter that goes inside the 'Kioti labeled and sold by dealers' larger air filter, (to gain additional protection).
There are few after market sellers of Kioti OEM parts, especially things like fuel senders/tanks etc. And last I checked the large and small HST/Hydraulic fluid filters are only available through Kioti network dealers. You may consider them overpriced; have you considered the investment you have in your tractor? DO you really want cheaper parts and filters that maybe compromise manufacturers tollerances when they make these cheaper, fill in the blank, parts/filters etc. I know I don't want to risk failure of a key component for saving a few $ here or there on possibly crap quality aftermarket items...
One dealer who should be able to get or may have in stock most parts you could need/want, is MIE.

Thanks for the informative reply, I buy OEM for critical components and use quality lubricants (Amsoil) which meet or exceed Kioti requirements. Your recommendation on Napa, TSC are helpful and very much appreciated. I'm one who takes care of my tractor but at times the Kioti price for filters, hoses are excesive so looking for alternative but reputable aftermarket suppliers.
Thanks!
