That is not really a secret, that has been going on for years. When you buy OEM parts, you are paying for the name, all the advertising the company does to let you know about their product, you are paying for the warranty the manufacturer offers to you. If you are dealing with the same Sloans express I am thinking of, they are a big JD dealer in central Illinois. some of their prices are good, some are kinda pricey, so you have to be careful. Some OEM parts are actually cheaper than aftermarket, so don't fall into the "it's aftermarket so it has to be cheaper" trap, jsut watch what you are buying. You can also buy cheaper? blades and then find they are actually 30% lighter blades that you saved 20% in price. I see this kind of thing every day. A good quality aftermarket blade is made by the same manufacturer as the OEM or they might make it for the OEM.
