Is the chain already cut to length or does it need to be cut too?

Steve...I got same problem.

I have used the Motion Pro chain breaker kit, do you have one in stock??

The KZ is a 630 chain so the kit would need to cover the tractor chain size. If you have one in stock i'll be in Reno Thursday.

On 520 and up just grind the side plate, not sure what Steve might have but 630 is going to require a stout chain break tool. My experience has been to just use a tool to install a new link but otherwise, grind.

After much searching I have decided to just grind the dam (630) thing.

Next time I will pay the big bucks for a custom 520 kit, chain sprockets etc.

Thanks to all ....

Tried anyway.

hmm, I am abit late in this response..  Even with my Motion Pro Jumbo, I still prefer to do like others have mentioned and grind the pins down.
