Dealer parts prices

Filters, and grease are crazy expensive, guess that’s why some flip tractors and combines yearly.

Almost $600 for fuel filters for the tractor.

And hyd filters are usually twice the price of engine filters. Come out of same factory and same size . I figure we change engine at 500 hrs and hyd at 1000 hrs so they charge double to make up the same profit margin

Regina Fasteners has employees, it's not self serve, someone looked it up and went into the warehouse to pick it. It wasn't self check-out either.

I sincerely apologize for my memory lapse, they were only $0.43 at Regina Fasteners.

106X from AGCO is MORE than acceptable...... SARCASM.

Time to eat some crow and correct a misleading post...

While looking for more hardware(different project) on Agco Parts Online, I came across something that appeared as ludicrous as the above example. But when I clicked on the actual item another screen appeared with more descriptive details and it states the price was for a package of ten! Still quite a bit more than the hardware store but not as ridiculous as first thought.

Sorry Folks!

I've had the opposite issue.
When ordering small parts from Claas, and the price sounds reasonable enough that I don't want to bother with trying to find aftermarket alternatives.

Then when I pick up the parts, I learn that they only sell them in lots of 10, no returns on special order.
