KUBOTA FILTER REPLACEMENT

Ricn · Jun 18, 2018

If this question should be asked somewhere else please direct me.

Should I save some cost buying filters other than from my dealer, prices there are really high when comparing to Internet sales. Are there quality filters on the Net and if so, who should I buy from for Kubota equpment. Thanks for any suggestions.

Most any brand has had this question asked.

I purchase my filters from my local dealer. Sure I may pay more, but I've made some friends at the dealer since buying my tractor. They are fun to talk to when I go and they answer my questions.

Another potential benefit: I bent a 3-point hitch stabilizer. Took it in to see if they had a new one I could look at to get the angles right. Parts guy brings a new stabilizer up and it was only bent in one direction. Parts guy says, "wait a minute". He took it out back, I heard a few hammer whacks. He hands me my stabilizer that now matched a new one. I says, "how much I owe you"? He says with a smile "have a nice day"!

First filter change on the new tractor were Kubota filters and over the years have bought plenty believe me. Only asking this because many here do use non-dealer stuff and if getting good quality filters for less why not? My dealer guys are nice enough but they do mark things up a bunch; try buying a complete filter set for Kubota Excavators sometime. Been doing business there for 20 years or more so they know me well from chain saws, pressure washers, lawn mowers, excavators and tractors. I watched the Napa video, pretty good.
