I'm in the process of replacing ALL my filters, save one, the strainer in the back hydraulics. parts man said just clean it, if it is damaged and needs replacing, I have far bigger issues to deal with than a filter. so, ALL filters totals $396 Oil, $450. 6 Pails so, after taxes, will be just under $1k (plus gas as it is around 1hour's drive) but then, I "Should" be good to go! (oh, I'm getting two of each except the bypass ( long change intervals ) and the Outer air/Inner Air as I can clean those I plan on new filters/oil every fall before it stop for the winter, in case I need to use to for something. ------------- AC7060Pd 1975 |

Wix filters offer volume discounts. My local car parts supplier allows people to purchase filters under a local business name and use their discount. I think the final cost was around 50% off list price. The business doesn't care as the increase in volume results in better discounts for them. You could ask your local Wix dealer if they will order the filters in under one of their business customers and use their discount.

That sounds about normal anymore. Sad but true. We have some new tractors that the hydraulic filters are over $300 EACH. Not like the good old days! Jim ------------- An open eye is much more observant than an open mouth |

I changed the oil on my Kubota M110 last month and discovered I didn't have another filter in the closet for it, of course it was on Sunday afternoon. Drove 12 miles to a Napa store, no but they have one in Berthoud, about 10 miles further. Drove up there to find they closed 20 minutes before I arrived. On Monday I found my usual parts store didn't have the Wix filter and wouldn't for a couple days so I drove back to Berthoud, paid $23 for it and then a couple days later, paid about $9 for the same filter at my regular place. Where you get your filters does make a difference.

yikes !!!don't mean to be mean but I've bought complete RUNNING D-14 for less than your filters/oil change. I know not quite the same but yeesh.... SSS ( stupid step son) bought a new Dodge 1/2T with 3Litre diesel. oil/filter changes will run him $200+taxes= +-$250. My gas F150 is <$50. One thing about Amazon,they sometimes say where/who is supplying the products.If so go to their website and you may get a better deal. I got a voltage regulator for the 8N from GB electric( or BG ) $10 LESS than Amazon AND free shipping.SAME identical regulator 5 minutes away was $100, from GB it was $24 !!! so it pays to spend time with Google and learn how to search ! cheers jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

amazon won't work for deals up here... shipping is often more than the product Kurt, AC oil from the nearest AGCO dealer. same with all the filters... going to go with AC/AGCO for now. Case HyTranUltra is over $75 a pail, same with the JD stuff.... but if my maintenance program is around $1k a year.... I'd be OK with that. it is the other things that haven't happened yet that I worry about. ------------- AC7060Pd 1975 |

Maybe they thought you meant ALL the tractors at the dealership!
