edsonherculano · Dec 30, 2019

Hi guys, I live in Brazil, i will change the filter of my kubota B2320, i think i will buy a Baldwin B179 , but i don't know if this brand is reliable.
Which one is the best, the Baldwin or genuine Kubota?

Can someone help me?

Yes, Baldwin is a good filter.

I've never heard of Baldwin filters before so I googled them and there are other forums reporting on them as good filters. One uses them instead of John Deere filters and has not had any problems. One person's used them for 5 years, another for 20 years.

I have no way of knowing which is better - Baldwin or Toyota. Baldwin makes high quality filters for just about everything. Given the choice though my personal preference is the Kubota filter. I don't think you save that much money on a Baldwin and you may rest assured the Kubota filter will meet all Kubota specifications.

Baldwin and Fleetguard are both used as OEM filters for a lot of equipment.

Baldwin makes good filters, but the last time I priced one it was more expensive than the comparable Kubota. If warranty might be an issue, I'd stick with Kubota.

Donaldson also comes up in the Heavy Equipment forums.

Donaldson and Baldwin are both highly respected filter manufacturers.
I question if Kubota actually makes their own filters, even though they have the Kubota label.
