22 years in the field means I've heard just about every question there is. Here are the ones that come up the most.
For most parts, yes and I say that as someone who's used both for 22 years. Quality aftermarket suppliers like A&I Products manufacture parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications. The main difference is price, not performance. There are a handful of highly technical components where I'd lean toward OEM, but for the vast majority of wear items, filters, seals, and mechanical components, aftermarket is the smart move.
A&I has been in the ag aftermarket business for decades and built a reputation on quality. They're one of the most respected suppliers in the industry their parts are what I put on my own equipment. As an authorized A&I dealer, I only sell through their catalog because I trust it.
Honestly, yes a few. For highly electronic or computerized components on late-model machines, I sometimes recommend OEM. For certain safety-critical hydraulic components on equipment under warranty, OEM can make sense. But these are the exceptions. For 90%+ of tractor parts filters, wear items, seals, mechanical components, body parts aftermarket is the right call.
Use the catalog links on the site and filter by brand and machine type. You can search by part number, part description, or browse by category. If you know your OEM part number, that's the fastest way. Still can't find it? Call me at 937-638-0056 that's exactly what I'm here for.
Yes the A&I catalog supports cross-referencing by OEM part number. If you have the John Deere, IH, Case, or New Holland part number, you can search it directly and find the aftermarket equivalent.
Call me directly at 937-638-0056. The online catalog covers the vast majority of what A&I offers, but if something's missing or you're not sure you're looking at the right part, a two-minute phone call with someone who knows this stuff is faster than an hour of clicking around.

Yes and this is actually one of A&I's strengths. Classic Farmall, early IH, vintage John Deere, old Ford tractors the aftermarket often has better availability than OEM for older iron since dealer parts get discontinued. I've helped people source parts for machines that seemed hopeless.
Yes the catalog includes a full combine parts section covering John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, and other major combine brands. Headers, feeder house, threshing, separation, cleaning systems it's all in there.
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you used aftermarket parts unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question. For equipment that's already out of warranty, this isn't a concern at all.
Yes A&I Products parts come with manufacturer warranty coverage. Specifics vary by part type. Check the product listing in the catalog for warranty details on individual items.
