Tractors K-700 “Kirovets” are still relevant in agriculture

The Soviet K-700 Kirovets tractors amazed even adults who encountered such equipment for the first time with their size and power. What can we say about the children - they squealed with delight next to such machines. And if in cities builders drove teenagers away from technology, then in villages it was easier. After all, everyone is neighbors, relatives, acquaintances. If the machine operator was in a good mood, then it was not difficult to ask him to go for a ride. And some even suggested it themselves. "Kirovets", of course, was not distinguished by dynamics and speed, but it attracted children.


The K-700 tractor was quite simple to operate. The main problem was its size. Of course, it was possible to get to all the components and assemblies right in the field, but the enormous size and weight of the parts made the creators of the equipment remember bad words. Take, for example, a puncture in a tire - taking it apart alone is a daunting task. Modern drivers are unlikely to be able to do it - they lack the skills and desire. By the way, K-700 tractors are still operating in Russian open spaces. For example, the author of the LandTech channel filmed how they compacted silos. Viewers are guaranteed a complete return to their rural youth when watching the video! At the same time, you can find out how to work on a structurally outdated tractor in our time.
