The heavy all-wheel tractor Kirovets K-700 takes a special position at every tractor meeting and of course also in every tractor model collection, due to its dimensions. Developed by the Russian manufacturer Kirovets at the end of the 50er, the first prototype of the K-700 left the factory gate in Leningrad in July 1962. Between 1962 and 1975, more than 100,000 copies of the K-700 were produced. The 215 hp articulated link, equipped with an 8-cylinder diesel engine, was exported to the former GDR in not insignificant quantities from 1968 onwards. Known for its extreme reliability and very efficient especially on large agricultural areas, the use of a K-700 has increased labor productivity three times as much as the ZT 300 progress. However, in order to be able to use a K-700 Kirovet economically sensibly in the state-controlled agriculture of the GDR, it was necessary to combine individual fields into large areas. Thus, it was also calculated that a K-700 had to work at least 1400 hours per year in order to be profitable. As this was impossible in single-shift operation, a two-shift system was introduced for the LPG‘s equipped with the K-700 (agricultural production communities). This text is machine translated.
