It is good to have a level of confidence that the parts are compatible. My original concern was that of compatibility. There are those that would lose no sleep if the parts simply fit on the tractor, having no concern about the parts function. I want to pay no more than I need to for a filter, but also want the design function to be there, actually working to protect the tractor hydraulic or engine system.
I totally understand. My point is simply that Bobcat tractors are Kioti tractors with a different color scheme and different decals. 99.9% of the parts are literally identical. I think the engine and transmissions are 100% identical so filters and fluids that fit one will fit the other. I have had zero issues using Bobcat filters on my Kioti.
Of note, what I said applies to the tractor. The loaders and backhoes are different designs and manufacturers.
