Bobcat brand filters

[Massey1010]

The Bobcat dealers in my area used to sell Kioti equipment until they were bought out by PAPE equipment about 6 months ago. Now the nearest dealer is 99 miles away. The Bobcat dealer says that the Bobcat branded filters will fit my CK20. Is this true?

I guess the filters must be the same since they use them for the Bobcat branded Daedong tractors.

Same motor and basically the same tractors. The filters should be interchangable. However, Bobcat's price could be different.

Stopped at the Bobcat dealer today and picked up all the filters to do the 50 hour service. The filters were all the same except for the fuel filter. The original one has some sort of rubber end where it plugs into the socket whereas the Bobcat one has a metal end. I don't know if I just got the wrong filter or if the newer engines take a little different fuel filter. The prices for the Bobcat brand filters are as follows:

Trans Filter #6695914 $12.73
Hydro filter #6695918 $15.92
Fuel filter #6694422 $2.77
Engine filter #6694509 $5.72

Total $37.14

Wonder why Bobcat filters are cheaper. Just the transmission filter alone from Kioti is $11 more than you paid for all of your filters combined. Surely Kioti dealers can't be marking them up that much.

Those filter prices seem cheap to me. My JD hydrostat filter cost $94! I bought a dinky engine oil filter for my Kawasaki Teryx and that was $16.

Really cheap!!! Wow.

Actually they are pretty close to what I paid Wallace for the same items. Just pennies difference

Ok, looks like I did get the right fuel filter from the Bobcat dealer but I didn't notice that the top cap of the original filter was still stuck to the filter housing socket. Apparently this is a common problem when removing the old filter according to a Kioti dealer. All is good.
