Hi everybody I am new to this forum so please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong 😀

I have a L245DT which needs a new clutch, I am from the UK and my local Kubota dealer is quoting £550 + VAT for a complete clutch kit. I can get it imported from either mainland Europe or US for a fraction of the price. Has anyone had any experience with the cheaper clutches compared to the Kubota original ones? Thanks

They run about the same for quality.
I've used a ton of aftermarket clutches with great success.

I would suspect that ALL Kubota clutches may be made in China!
Even Japanese companies farm stuff out for cheaper Chinese labor.
