filter costs

[bironacad]

Just did a hydraulics\transmission fluid change (34.6 odd litres) were I was charged $200 for filters. The two hydraulic filters and the oil filter. This was from Bob Marks in Cambelford, Ontario, Canada, a New Holland dealer. Checked out the filters online and that seems to be the OEM prices and was wondering if there are any good alternatives. I am not in a rush as it took me several years to get to where I needed to do the fluid change. Thanks

Most all the filter manufacturer websites have cross reference look up. Donaldson and Fleetguard have great reputations.

I get good prices off ebay and usually free shipping. Recently got a hydraulic filter for my 3910 (45ish HP) for $18 free shipping. Oil filters for older Fords are the Motorcraft FL-1A and wallyworld has them for 5-6 bucks.

I've been running NAPA filters in my 3930 and JD for a long time. Spend a little time cross referring your NH filters to some major brands like Wix or Purolator to make it easy on the store guys to find the right one. They're a lot less than OEMs and I've had no ill effects.

Well that is a start. Thanks I have been able to get the oil
Filters that way but the big hydraulic filter not so much.

Thanks, will try later today and let you know how it goes. I was just searching their number without going to a specific manufacturer.

Another eBay shopper here. Put the NH number in the search and sort the results by price.

I also compare some oil filters with on the shelf Motorcraft. My backhoe has a FL1A on it. My diesel generator has a Mororcraft filter on it but I don't recall the number off hand.

Just spent$100+ bucks on air filters for my JD and NH off ebay but also saved about that much.

Like Fishheadbob, I get my filters from NAPA.

Not in Napa Ca, from NAPA. I have driven past NAPA in Napa Ca though

My God - $200 for three filters. I use strictly Kubota filters - fuel - $12 Engine oil - $14 Hydraulic - $23 each Air - inner, $18 outer $23

That's $113 for six filters.

Yup
Cool prices for your Kabota

Fortunately only have to do it every 300 hours

Transmission fluid change every 300 hours? I thought it’s about 1000 hours after the break in. In either case screw that. That’s a pile of money per change.

That's the spec for my TC40D. My old 1980's Kubota B series was only like 250 hours if I remember right.

Do a google search for "filter number cross reference" something should come up.

this is cross reference for WIX filters WIX Filters - Products Catalog by Application

I looked for New Holland 3045 but it did not list that particular tractor

Still a nice cross reference chart

The Owners Manual for my 2009 Kubota M6040 - transmission/hydraulic OIL FILTER changes every 300 hours. Transmission/hydraulic OIL change every 600 hours.

Spend big bucks on equipment and then buy cheap filters

Napa filters are junk, however if you pay extra the price of a cup of coffee and buy the Napa Gold
you will have a good filter.

Ebay? if you can find old new stock filters great! New? There is nothing made in the U.S. that hasn't been copied
by China

Well that is what the manual said, lol, or was that for the first change? I use my tractor for snow in the winter, grading the drive in the spring, knocking down brush with the rotary mower in the fall and getting my wood in most of the rest of time. Used it for digging a foundation for and addition. Really doesn't amount to much more then 50 to 60 hours a year so better safe then sorry with maintenance. What every six years? I do appreciate the ideas we can get from asking questions, this is a fun resource. Thousand hours? eh? I better check the manual again, lol. changed it as it appeared to be darkening a bit, anyway all good.

Thanks

The Owners Manual for my 2009 Kubota M6040 - transmission/hydraulic OIL FILTER changes every 300 hours. Transmission/hydraulic OIL change every 600 hours.

That sounds right, okay so I am ahead of the game.

Found both hydraulic replacement filter numbers with the Wix replacement chart. Almost half the price than the oem parts. Found it on Amazon.ca when I had the numbers however mine has an o ring were this shows a flat rubber seal.

Thanks gimmodog
