Tractor filters

Always buy genuine. Not worth the risk especially on engine oil and backend
We've had plenty of issues with genuine filters. Had a bad batch of John Deere engine filters that had a plastic insert. They were almost impossible to unscrew and on one occasion nearly had to remove the engine out of a sprayer!
Had JCB hydraulic filters that split and recently had a New Holland hydraulic filter where the casing spun on the hub.

You can usually buy good quality non genuine from between 1/3 to 1/2 the price of genuine. We run our machines to high hours and have not seen any problems.
