Genuine Toro Parts: Toro Hydraulic Filters

When your business depends on turf equipment as part of its normal operations, it’s essential that the equipment stays in peak operating condition, and that any downtime is minimized. Hydraulic systems are often one of the functional components of turf equipment, and any kind of failure in the hydraulic system is likely to cause significant downtime.

Historically, the vast majority of hydraulic system failures have been attributable to contamination of the oil, and this contamination typically occurs when there is some kind of failure or deficiency with the hydraulic filters being used. This is one very clear example of why it’s critical to use genuine Toro hydraulic filters for your equipment’s hydraulic system.

Toro parts vs. generic parts

Very often, the literature accompanying replacement parts like hydraulic filters will tell you that such replacement parts are equivalent to the original and genuine Toro hydraulic filter. While it may be true that in appearance there is little difference between genuine Toro hydraulic filters and substitutes, a closer look will reveal the following potential differences:

• Heat resistant spring coil – the design of the Toro spring coil allows it to resist degradation due to high temperatures, unlike the wafer design spring coil used in many substitute filters
• Elimination of bypass valves – since bypass valves allow unfiltered oil and contaminants to flow past the filter, Toro hydraulic filters do not have bypass valves, preventing contaminants from entering the oil reservoir
• Captive rubber seal – Toro uses only rubber seals at the end of the filter (which are thus captive), while substitute filters often use non-captive seals which can leak under high pressure
• Steel filter elements – the Toro filter element has steel ends which are fully glued, as opposed to competitor’s filters which may or may not be glued
• Rigid cast base – Toro filters have a rigid cast base which prevents leaks, whereas cheaper filters often have a stamped steel base which allows for flexibility and leakage
• Micron rating – with a genuine Toro hydraulic filter, you can be assured that the paper media will have the correct micron rating

Why Toro parts are so important

From the above, it should be apparent that there is simply no replacement for authentic Toro hydraulic filters, each of which has premium filtration media, durable casting, and high quality that’s designed right in. When you purchase a Toro hydraulic filter, you may rest assured that each one is the same kind of filter used on the original piece of equipment, thereby assuring optimal performance, with little or no downtime.

You can count on Toro hydraulic filters being available at your local Toro distributor within 24 hours if they’re not already in stock, so that you have the parts you need, right when you need them. Even though genuine Toro parts are of the highest quality, you can still count on very competitive pricing that won’t destroy your company budget.

There are even some very important intangibles which you can expect with your purchase of Toro hydraulic filters, namely the best customer service and support from your Toro dealer, as well as the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re using exactly the right high-quality part for your critical equipment.
