It’s hard to resist aftermarket parts when they’re priced so attractively, but do they really stand the test on JCB machines? Have you found the savings to be beneficial or do the OEM parts ultimately deliver better value over time? Share your experiences good or bad so that others can make informed decisions.
 
I've found that OEM parts often have better longevity, but if you’re selective, some aftermarket options can be just as reliable.
 
I've had success with aftermarket parts for wear items like pins and bushings, but when it comes to critical hydraulic components, I always choose OEM. The reassurance that comes with it is worth paying a bit more.
