Kioti NX6010 - Filters for 200hr service - All PNs used

[Piney Woods Rooter]

Just did this for a DK55 and I see there's a lot of crossover between the two tractors.

Check this out!

Oil Filter - Kioti E6201-32443
Wix 51381 <$10
Wix 51324 – longer than 51381 and slightly interferes with side panel.
NAPA Gold 1324 – same size as the too long Wix 51324.

Hydraulic Filter - Kioti T4620-38032 (Also -38031 & 38033)
Wix WL10113 (CARID.com & O'Reilly Auto Parts, $35 & $45 Delivered)

Air Filter - Kioti E7230-11081
Donaldson P822768 – Outer
Donaldson P822769 – Inner
Wix 46489 - Outer
Wix 46490 - Inner

The Donaldson air filters were half the cost of the Wix at about $25 for the pair.

The Donaldson P573481 hst filter was about $40 online. Is of good quality, 11 micron synthetic media. I have 2 tractors using them. I'm sure someone will chime in with the ol "well you spent X amount on your tractor, why pinch pennies on filters for it" rant. My local Kioti dealer no longer exists, so I purchase all of my filters, for all of my equipment from one place, they carry the Donaldson and this convenient for me.

The rest of the kioti filters were reasonably priced if I recall, it was just the HST filter that was top dollar. It's a higher pressure filter, with a thicker more expensive housing and media.

always good to ask questions on these kind of things.

That is a nice thread with good info, thanks for that.
A question asked is about price and I'm thinking each dealer may have guidelines about pricing and their mark ups. Leaving this one sub'd for future reference.:thumbsup:

"Is there any real reason NOT to change the hydro fluid when changing the filters besides cost?"
Yes, there are reasons for not changing the fluid with each filter change.
1.The fluid change interval is based on estimated average life expectancy of the additives in the fluid. Based on operating temps and pressure - in this case 400 hrs.
2. A filter increases in efficiency as minute particles collect and reduce size of openings in filter media. This is desirable up to the point where it stats to require additional pressure to flow the fluid or worse case the by-pass opens.
3. Changing the filter @ 50% (200 hrs.) of the fluid life span is about when OEM estimates filter will have been working a maximum efficiency and prolonged use could start to develop restriction. Based on this, the fluid in reservoir is cleaner than if all new fluid added. Plus the little bit of fluid added to replace that lost with filter change has new, fresh additives to help carry the existing fluid through the next 200 hrs.
