Today tractor brand "Kirovetz" find their niche in the national economy.
Kirovskiy Zavod is a diversified holding, one of the most important parts of the project – design and production of wheeled tractors of the brand "Kirovetz". It is the unit of ZAO «St. Petersburg TOR”.
The Company is one of the pioneers of Russian engineering. The first production license tractor “Fordson-Putilovets” was produced in 1924. However, branded tractor “Kirova” K-700 manufactured since 1962.
Modern lineup includes agricultural, construction, utility and special equipment series 744 R of different designs ranging 300, 306, 350, 354, 390, 401, 420, 428 HP are the Most powerful tractor “Kirovetz" K-9000: modification of K-9520 boasts 516 horsepower. In contrast to the Soviet era vehicles have a modular layout with a wide range of engines manufactured in Russia, Germany, USA, great range of attachments for more options.
The Most popular products of the St. Petersburg tractor plant for the domestic market is the tractor "Kirovetz" K-744 P2. He's got the optimal ratio of technical characteristics to the average farm, municipal and construction companies.

In the new models, the manufacturers made a workplace of the operator a convenient, comfortable and safe. During the most intense periods of field work, the cabin is almost a house of tractor, where he spends 10-12 hours a day. To protect people from noise and vibrations help modern materials and technical solutions used by St. Petersburg designers. Pressurized cabin mounted on shock absorbing cushions, the metal of the cab is covered with modern vibration-absorbing and sound insulation materials.
Field work often need to hottest in the truest sense of the periods – often the ambient air temperature behind the tractor reaches 40 °C. and Vice versa, when the frosty winter only tractor "Kirovetz" can clear away snow blockages or carry a heavy load. Therefore, the workers installed on all machines of the series K-744 R powerful air conditioning and efficient heating system.
Tractor “Kirova” managed very easily – without any physical effort. Workplace ergonomics meets modern requirements. Sprung operator's seat is located in the center of the cabin, offering excellent visibility in all directions, which is very important when conducting field work and maneuvering.
To facilitate transmission control system of the pneumatic switch and connect the rear axle (option available on request). In the driver's seat a wide range of adjustments – the height, horizontal position, the weight of the operator. Height and tilt adjustable steering column. This allows the mechanic to any body find an optimal driving position. Assistant mechanic or instructor will be located in the cabin on the additional passenger seat. As the driver's seat, passenger seat is equipped with seat belts.
The parameters of the work tractor mechanic is easily controlled using a set of gauges and warning lights on the Central panel. All vehicle series K-774 R have the training to install systemssatellite monitoring of GPS/GLONASS.
The Tractor "Kirovetz" from the point of view of security is protected on all counts. This is a stable machine with efficient braking system and reliable control. But even if a tragic accident occurred and the tractor overturned, the person will reliably protect the built-in cab roll cage that meets international standards ROPS/FOPS.
At the peak of the field season the roads every hour, and darkness should not be a hindrance to the work. Four major and eight working lights perfectly illuminate the working area along the perimeter of the tractor "Kirovetz".
The Manufacturer offers the consumer a choice. Depending on production objectives and preferences have the opportunity to choose the car from a wide power range – from 300 to 428 HP For every power level there is an option with domestic and foreign motor.
Equipped with turbo diesel engines, and it is to this type belong the engines of the “Kirova”, characterized by excellent efficient and economic indicators. An important feature of used power units is high torque at nominal power.
To improve the reliability and increase engine life with the 2014 tractor “Kirova” fitted the new air filters improved design. Thanks to the combined two-stage air cleaning system and high intake engine protection in extremely dusty environments. Replacement filter elements are easily accessible for flushing and replacement.
Reliable cooling is essential for tractor engines working in heavy duty. In 2014, the most powerful versions are equipped with a new block of radiators with larger water section.
Used brand of engines:

The Fuel system of domestic diesel engines – mechanical. They are quite simple in design and well adapted to our fuel. For Mercedes-Benz engines are equipped with a more modern fuel systems are electronically controlled, the system includes additional filters and injectors adapted to the Russian fuel and German specialists.
To start the engine at negative temperatures, apply the system of prestarting heating, therefore, operation of tractors “Kirovetz" in the winter is not very difficult. 800 liters of fuel holds are located on the rear frame fuel tank – a good supply of fuel for the longest work shift.
Tractor “Kirova” often operated in harsh environments. Serious load is transferred to all elements of the powertrain and chassis. That's why the requirements are special. Transmission «St. Petersburg giant” mechanical, with hydraulic control. Its speed range (16 forward/8 back) consists of 4 ranges 4 gears in each. Within the transmission range switch on the go without breaks the flow of power.
A Characteristic feature of major bridges “the Kirovetz" are limited slip differentials type “know-spin” that allows to provide unsurpassed maneuverability in difficult conditions. Planetary gearboxes that are posted on the sides of the transfer torque directly to the wheels. The advantages of this scheme – increased ground clearance and excellent accessibility for maintenance and repair.
The Reliable transmission of high torque is guaranteed by the production technology. Gear transmission and axles are made at higher accuracy class. For clutch drive shaft transmission is used sulfasalazine disks from carbon steel.
Unsurpassed maneuverability has a tractor "Kirovetz". Photo this “strongman” impressive size, power, and modern design. Despite its considerable size it has a good maneuverability, aided by the innovative design of its frame – two half frames are connected by a hinge device. They are able to rotate about the vertical hinge at an angle of 35°, thanks to a turning radius of less than 8 meters (for the outside wheel). Relative to the horizontal hinge articulated shift by 16° – “Kirovetz" perfectly copies the terrain of the soil, due to this, all wheels are permanently coupled to the support surface.
Every mechanic who worked on “the Kirovetz" said necessarily its special smoothness. Under engine suspension bridge – this is what gives sucha remarkable effect. For many of its foreign counterparts suspension bridge unavailable or is an expensive option, and for the St. Petersburg tractor's basic equipment.
To Increase traction and to reduce the specific pressure on the ground using sets of doubling of wheels, supplied as additional equipment. The use of dual wheels is required in wet soil. To optimize the weight distribution of the tractor and improve the adhesion of the wheels with the ground by using plated weights placed on cargo and sub the half-frames. This opportunity is endowed with tractor model "Kirovetz" K-P3, 744, and 744 P4.
The Value of the tractor is the possibility of its use with complex machines. Standards of coupling devices, the requirements of hydraulics, electrics, Pneumatics and other parameters of trailers may vary. Mounted machine technology is improving, the most important criterion is the universality of the coupling devices and the stock performance of hydraulics.
Hydraulic equipment tractors “Kirovetz" refers to the type “load”, can be denoted as LS-system or Load Sensing. Axial piston pump with autoregulation of flow inject working liquid only when operating attachments. His peak performance – 180 l/min
Three-point Attachment device (category IV) provides the axis of suspension is the carrying capacity of 8.5 tons. It is noteworthy that it was originally included as standard. To simplify aggregation with any domestic and foreign agricultural equipment tractors are equipped with automatic hooks lower links manufactured by Walterscheid.
Optional tractor “Kirova” can be equipped with a system of positional adjustment of the hinged device (EHR) needed to operate the ploughs and other mounted guns, not having a support adjusting wheel. Also as optional equipment of the machine are equipped with power take-off (shaft rotation corresponds to 1000 rpm./min) the pendulum and the towed device.
