Spring is Coming! Shall I buy a filter kit?

[Linda White]

I wouldn't. You didn't give us a link. Based on those prices I would be very leery of quality. I personally like to get them from OEM and I see you have a NH. Filters for my NH are expensive. I believe a complete filter change is more than $500. MUCH more expensive than JD which usually ends up being half the price. I

They come from fridayparts.com, actually, the OEM is perfect, but the prices... I will consider

I wouldn't risk expensive equipment on cheap no-name filters. These kits are generally cobbled together by God knows who, with little to no regard concerning OEM specifications.

They’re from an online store, FridayParts—can I use ‘em? Also, hit me with all the suggestions you’ve got!

Never heard of them. Have never had it pop up it any of my searches EVER so no I would not use them and I'm not clicking on their link. Do they even have filters for your tractor? To convince us to convince you that screen shot would have been important.

Have you taken the part numbers of your filters and see what comes up in the searches.
I searched a NH air filter for a T6030. Price at NH $108 Currently I'm showing a discount of 15% off now through April.

Came across a cross reference guide with prices ranging from $60-$130

You go to OEM and you get known quality parts with price inline with aftermarket.

So what is the issue with OEM?

Sounds good! I checked out the T6030 filter kit on their website—turns out the price isn’t all that different from OEM. Thank you!!!

Find out if there is a NH dealer near you. Go to their open house. Usually, open house in the spring you get 10% off all parts.
Depending on your age, tell the dealer if a retired senior citizen discount is available.

i do like to buy Wix or Napa filters. Wix makes some of NAPAs filters I think. You can never go wrong changing out filters. Air filters are as important as oil filters but do not need to be changed quite as often depending on the environment you are working in. If you are working your rig in a lot of dust/chaff, change them more often.

Appreciate the heads-up! I'll keep an eye out for the open house and check with the dealer about any senior discounts. Thanks again!!!

Appreciate the suggestion! I’ve heard good things about Wix and Napa filters.

If you look at my post #13 you will see I made mention of a discount being available of 15%
