### What Are OEM Tractor Parts?
The term "OEM" is an abbreviation for "original equipment manufacturer". In other words, an OEM tractor part is built by the same company that built the given tractor. An OEM part for a Mahindra tractor, for example, will have been manufactured by Mahindra.

### What Are Aftermarket Tractor Parts?
These tractor parts are built by a third-party company. They are often designed to try to fit as many different makes and models as possible. This can result in a less ideal fit with your specific tractor.

### Which Approach Costs More Money?
OEM tractor parts usually cost more money upfront. This is often because they are designed to exactly fit the specifications of the given tractor. The higher price point can also be due to a difference in materials. In many cases, OEM tractor parts will be built from better quality materials.

When discussing cost, it's also important to take a long-term approach. With aftermarket options, there's a risk of quality issues that result in the tractor part needing to be replaced again soon. There's also the risk of compatibility issues that can hurt your tractor's fuel efficiency, reduce the tractor's performance, or even damage the tractor.

### Ordering Parts

At Home:

  • You already know exactly which part you need.

  • The part is easy to find locally.

At the Service Department: 

  • The part is out-of-stock online, but could be available at the dealership.

  • You aren't sure which part to get.

  • You aren't sure whether a generic part can be a viable substitute for an OEM part.

titleExample

It's usually best to let a professional order and install the given part. They have years of experience, knowledge of your given powersports vehicle, and access to a variety of parts options. A powersports vehicle service department may even be able to get the part ordered at a much lower price. Plus, you'll get valuable peace of mind knowing that the part is correctly installed on your powersports vehicle!
