Your right your saving for others.
If your committed to play the carbon game Please cut back on the carbon as much as you can, do you really need the tractor?, or lights?, can you car pool with others, every little bit will help.
That way there can be more for me because I'm a Carbon slob just going about my life using what was meant for us to use. I even strive to waste it, I even look for ways to use more. Thank you for saving it for me and I mean that Thank you
Now doesn't that just seem silly, don't waste your time. For everything you save there is a million like me. So live your life the way you want.
The earth is getting cooler and warmer like it has for 4 billion years without the help of man. It's just a tax scam, and more funding for the scientists, mark my words.
But to your post,
Forget the other brand filter altogether.
If the filter is that hard to cross you should realize that maybe you should by a filter from Kubota, you can get them on line if your far from a dealer. otherwise you will be using a horse, saving even more for me.
