Holy Smokes --- Hydraulic Filter was 150 bucks TC55

[shaley]

I need to get serious about cross referencing my TC55DA filters. I ordered a Hydraulic filter from the dealer back in August and I new it was going to be $100. It took me so long to get back to the dealer that he put it in stock. The price has gone up to $150 SBA340500951 5 gals of 134 oil was $75.
Anybody have a cross on this filter 2008 TC55DA EHSS

Stupid money for that filter and a few other NH filters. If I could sell those filters for what they COST ME it would still be stupid money.
5 gal of genuine 134 oil for $75 was actually a pretty good price.

My John Deere hydraulic filter was $50 for a 60 hp tractor. I've got to believe there is a better price out there somewhere.

Yes, I looked funny too last year when I changed filters and fluid in mine.

Did a search in Doladson and Wix websites, they both list filters for engine oil, fuel, and air fitlers but no hydraulics. That tells me the filter is special, lower volume sales, that these companies don't see sufficient sales to justify making one to fit. Leaving the customer at mercy of the filter manufacturer and New Holland to charge what they want.

Ouch...that's a painful answer.

I did some digging online to see what I could find. Messicks has the filter for $134.
Case / New Holland FILTER, HYDRAULI Part #SBA340500951

Tractor Help has the filter for $125.

Only slightly less painful than $150....but every penny counts.
