Kioti RX7320PC & OFA EKO Studded Chains

OrangeAgain · Oct 16, 2019

I have a 2015 KIOTI RX7320PC tractor that I will be buying chains for all four tires. The chains I am thinking of buying are OFA EKO studded chains (https://www.ofa.fi/image/22360/20160426120850/Eko_a.png).

Before I order them I would like to determine whether they will work with my RX7320PC.

I would appreciate advice from those who may already be using OFA EKO studded chains with their RX7320PC.

Tire type, tire sizes, rear tire to fender clearance, front tire at full turn clearance, and chain sizes would be items to consider.

Those are a very good chain, if they are listed for your size tires and you have adequate clearance for chains they will be good.

I was hoping to find someone here that either has a Kioti RX7320PC and the OFA EKO chains or someone that could tell me how much clearance I need to accommodate the chains.

Maybe this will help you a bit;

on my IH 574 the upper fender is close

about 2 inches clearance

the inner fender is no issue about 8 inches
This tractor gets roaded very little max speed is maybe 10 mph but no fender issues.

Branson 8050 about 5 inches clearance to upper fender

a bit over 4 inches to front of the rear fender

to the inner fender just about 2 1/4 inches, it needs a little bit more occasionally while traveling at high speeds I will get a small click from the latching levers, I should remove the wheel weights and swap the tires from side to side for a bit more clearance.

These are the Aquline Talon chains which are similar to the OFA's

My chains have arrived and I'm almost ready to install them. This will be my first time installing chains on anything. I remember a thread some time ago that highly recommended one particular video for the best method of installing chains. Where might I find that video?
