Starting off with incorrect "facts" does nothing to validate your opinion.
"Fiat group"? Fiat has NOTHING to do with AGCO. Fiat has an ownership stake in CNH (Case IH, New Holland) AGCO is a US owned entity.
AGCO parts prices aren't any more expensive than any other major manufacturer, nor are they any less expensive as a rule.
That said, "Fiat Group" as you call it, CNH as they're actually known, is just as costly, if not more so than Deere. Not to mention they cannot match Deere on parts availability, nor on quick parts service. When push comes to shove, NO ONE can match Deere for quick parts availability. NO ONE. If you're in business with your equipment, slow turn around equals money.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
