My Kioti filters are the same way. I also bought a filter for my John Deere 4430 at the dealer and it was covered over the end with plastic. It must be the new thing. Great Idea though.:thumbsup:

For my CT335, I was thinking that I could get the Wix stuff cheaper than Bobcat's....wrong.
I got an oil filter and both air filters for just shy of $60 at the dealer. The local parts store wanted around $80 for just the air filters (Wix)
Always check the dealers before you buy.

Try Filter 1 if you buy several there is free shipping. I get enough together for a years supply. They will quote you for any thing you need. Fast shipping also. They handle WIX and sell any filter they make.

I have used the Wix oil filters on my Bobcat and Kioti tractors. However they are a little bit longer than the OE Deadong ones and they rub on the engine side panel. I had to bend the panels out just a hair to avoid rubbing

Not all filters are created equal. There used to a guy that had a website that was a compilation of oil filters, cut in half, and flimsy construction techniques and practices revealed. A LOT of the paper media filters simply tore and operated via the bypass valve, not filtering at all. Others had weak springs and failing internal components causing them, also, to fail in doing their job. He was forced by some unnamed large companies lawyers to cease and desist.
I will only use high end filters with synthetic media or partial synthetic constructions like the WIX Gold. I was in a truck stop in Oxnard, CA the other day and they had a display of theirs cut open next to another. Engaging stuff.
Cheapest might not be cheapest in the end. If you'll spend $20 on flowers for your wife or girl, it's no reason to cheapskate your tractor.
