Yes indeed. Why the secrecy? These are not matters of national security. They are a convenience for customers that have bought their machinery plus the storemen that wouldn't need to guess what was being described, plus there would be less ordering of the wrong parts by the storemen that could then pass the buck for any mistake back to the customer [and probably charge a restocking fee]. It looks like a win/win to me, but what do I know!Why the need for a login at all?
New Holland/Case, Kuhn, Amazone, Trima, JF/ konskilde/NH, Claas(no part numbers) are ones I have used in the last few months with no login or faffing about.
Some are better than others and on occasion its a pdf of old parts books, but thats fine for me if its an old machine.
Sometimes its just useful to get the exploded diagram.
Edit: just remembered I had to create an account on the Kuhn site and tell them my machines, no dealer involved though.
As for checking prices, we all do that anyway. This isn't the 1960's and we are all more savvy at getting the best deals these days regardless and describing the part to one retailer is no different to describing it to any other, but the part number makes describing what you want so much easier. I didn't need a parts book to find that the NH skid steer's water pump cost £650 through an official dealer but was sold for £35 in America. Guess where I bought it from, regardless of parts book and number?
