### Added On

October 13, 2022

The **Kirovets K-700** is a licensed tractor in *SnowRunner* introduced in the *Grand Harvest* DLC.

> *A hulking beast of a vehicle, the K-700 is a wheel-based general purpose tractor designed for some of the worst "road" conditions imaginable. Initially created in the 60s for the needs of the Union's agricultural industry, it singlehandedly almost tripled the country's farming productivity. Together with a multi-purpose coupler mount that accepts conventional trailers as well as farming equipment, the K-700 is a powerful instrument for any farm.*

## Unlocking

Kirovets is found on the Crossroads map in Belozersk Glades on the course of The Beast Rising contract. The mission is available immediately after visiting Crossroads, player has to visit the Scrapyard and then deliver the K-700 to the Garage. Kirovets K-700 is granted to the player as a part of the reward and player is able to purchase more of this vehicle in the truck store afterwards.

## Description

The Kirovets K700 first made its debut in Spintires and later Mudrunner. It can be equipped with its famous claw, or a Maintenance addon, which provides 800 repair points and 4 spare wheels. It is also one of just two vehicles in the game that can attach the trailers used for farming tasks, the other being the Kirovets K-7M. It also has its own unique set of tires, which allows it to travel through very muddy terrain relatively easily, but it can still be somewhat sluggish if the proper upgrades aren’t unlocked. But it does make up for the lack of power with its always on Diff Lock and AWD. Overall, while this is not the most useful vehicle in the game, it still has its uses in certain scenarios.
