Bobcat brand filters

[DK35vince]

Some tractor makers use 2 air filters; some don't. The Kiotis don't use
the inner filter, and I was surprised that Bobcat did.

The DK series Kioti run an inner and an outer filter. At least mine does.

So do the LK3054's

Well Heck-I just ordered a couple of Inner Filters and will give them a go on the CK30 HST. I do happen to operate in an aera that has sand and dust most of the time. My dealer advised me to clean the air filter every 10-hours as it is...so the inner filter just makes sense and adds extra protection.

Thanks for the rplies to my question and thanks to the OP

Yeah, I was only talking about what I have experience with....the CKs
and the CT230.

With respect to dual filtration, my Kubotas from the 80s used one, but
my JDs and later Kubs used 2 air filters. I wonder how common
dual filtration is on the current crop of CUTs. I suspect that it is a
corporate policy for all products from JD and Bobcat, but I could be
wrong.

NAPA filters are made by Wix, anybody know who makes the OE filters for Kioti?

My Kioti filter has Donaldson stamped on it with a part number that is different than the Kioti part number.

Picked up filters at the Bobcat dealer and noticed that filter prices have gone up again. Priced but did not buy the fuel or air filter since those are available cheaper at Napa and are standard filters. I would like to know how these compare to a Kioti dealer. The nearest one is 99 miles away but I have family near by so if the price was cheaper I could pick some up next time I'm visiting.

Trans Filter #6695914 was $13.00 now 14.13
Hydro filter #6695918 was $16.23 now 17.64
Fuel filter #6694422 was $2.83 now 4.55
Engine filter #6694509 was $5.83 now 6.59
Air Filter #6673752 was $12.79 now 14.30

Bobcat West in Oregon quoted me $92. and $8.95 for shipping to their location and I have to drive 120 miles to pick it up. This is for a hydrostatic transmission filter for my Bobcat CT335 (same as Kioti DK35HST) A Baldwin BT260-10 is an equivalant and sells locally for $10.41 and is a pretty red color.

I have been following the whole filter dilema for about a year. Filter prices have increased dramatically for OEM hydraulic filters. Why? Probably greed.

I will continue to ivestigate non-OEM filters for the expensisve ones. My testing will include pressure limit of the bypass valve, maximum flow rate, dimensions, and compilation of data into a cross-reference list. It will take a while as I obtain used filters from friends from a variety of machines.

Perhaps if we all start sending written, strongly worded complaints to the manufacturers they will eventually get the idea that we have already purchased to tractor and do not wish to be bilked for parts, especially third-party manufactured parts like filters.

Good luck to all of us.
