Specifications for 744. Tractor K744 "Kirovets" - Specifications

When purchasing expensive machines, many farmers ask themselves the question: is it worth choosing domestic equipment or is it better to give preference to imported machines? Consider a domestic unit, which is distinguished by good functionality and price. Find out what the K-744 is, what it is designed for.

The history of the tractor begins in 1924, when the Krasny Putilovets plant (now the Kirovsky Zavod) began to produce American tractors under the name Fordson-Putilovets. In fact, this moment marked the beginning of the Soviet tractor construction.

In the second half of the 30s, the production of the Universal-1 and Universal-2 tractors was set up. The first Kirov workers appeared only in 1962, when the plant started production of the first generation of agricultural tractors. Models K-700 and K-700A were presented. The second option had more horsepower.
At the same time, the first batch of 50 tractors left the plant only in 1963. In 1975, the second generation of agricultural tractors appeared. The K-701 model was presented, which already had 300 "horses". At the end of the 70s, the plant produced the first generation of Kirov workers intended for industrial work (K-703).

In the mid-80s, the third generation of agricultural tractors was released under the name K-701M. They differ in power (335-350 hp).

Exactly 10 years later, the 4th generation of tractors appears. The K-734 and K-744 models, which differed in a fairly average power (250 and 350 hp), were developed for export. It is 1995 that can be considered the year of birth of the 744 model. Further, after 5 years, the K-744R modification was released, which belonged to the 5th generation of tractors.

This model is a general purpose machine that is used for basic and pre-sowing soil cultivation. Effectively interacts with wide-cut seeding complexes, can work with various attachments.

The machine is designed both for agricultural work of all types, and for the transportation of various goods over short and long distances. Can be used in industry or logging, utilities. The tractor is used for the repair and laying of the road surface, repair of water supply and sewerage.
We can conclude that we have a multifunctional machine on which a huge number of tasks can be assigned. It is this opportunity that expands the functionality of the tractor.

Did you know? The world's smallest tractor is in the Museum of Yerevan. Its length is 1 cm, while it can move under its own power.

The undercarriage consists of the following elements:

  • clutch;
  • rear and front axles;
  • reducers;
  • cardan shafts with supports.

Permanent drive goes to the front axle. If necessary, the rear is connected, after which the car becomes all-wheel drive.

The torque is transmitted by cardan shafts. Power is supplied to the front axle through a single piece. To drive the rear axle, the tractor has an intermediate support at the tractor's articulation point.
A hydraulic drive is used to control the direction of travel. The frame is divided into two parts.

To ensure optimal traction characteristics, gearboxes and differentials were installed in the axles, through which the force is transmitted to the wheels through the axle shafts. In this way, a different speed of rotation of the wheels when cornering is achieved.

Brake system

Braking and control of the brake system is provided by the pneumatic system. It is used for separate control of axles and attachments.

Fuel tank volume and consumption

The fuel tank has a volume of 640 liters. Fuel consumption during operation at rated power is 174 g / l * h. At operating power, the consumption is 162 g / l * h. It should be understood that the indicated flow rate is the maximum. That is, at the rated power, the tractor will not consume more than 174 g / l per hour.

The maximum travel speed is 28 km / h, and the minimum is 4.5 km / h.

To put an attachment on the machine, you need to have a factory attachment that will provide the function and control of additional parts.

The K-744 has a good high-performance hydraulic system with an axial piston pump that pumps about 180 liters per minute. Also, the hydraulic valve includes 5 sections, and 4 hydraulic lines are allocated for the needs of agricultural units.
As standard, the machine has a three-point attachment, which allows you to supply the following implements:

  • mechanical and pneumatic seeders;
  • all kinds of cultivators, including complexes that allow sowing;
  • various plows;
  • subsoilers;
  • towing devices of any type.

Important! Since 2014, tractor attachments have been fully compliant with international standards. This allows it to be installed on modern agricultural machinery.

Separately, it should be said that the special properties of the hitch make it possible to use the machine as a roller for laying asphalt, as a welding machine, as well as a loader.

  • a sufficiently large margin of safety, which allows you to work up to 2 thousand hours without mandatory inspection of equipment;
  • the equipment of the cabin, as well as the above-described conveniences, make it possible for the Kirov to compete with imported cars;
  • spacious tank and low fuel consumption;
  • in the event of a breakdown, purchasing the necessary part is quite simple and relatively cheap;
  • excellent functionality that many imported copies cannot compete with.

Minuses:
  • without doubling the wheels, the weight of the tractor leads to damage to the upper fertile layer, which is why, as standard, the machine is not the best option for agricultural work;
  • after installing attachments, there is a loss of power, which occurs due to the presence of flaws in the hydraulic system;
  • in some instances, plastic pneumatic tubes are installed in the braking system, which break after a year of active operation.

It is worth noting that the car has more pluses than minuses. The developers did a good job of improving the machine, therefore, in terms of functionality and comfort of use, it can be compared with expensive imported cars that are on our market. It is always worth remembering the price of the goods, since a domestic car will cost less than a foreign one.

At the moment, three main modifications are being made, namely:


Did you know? In the 50s of the last century, the famous Porsche company was engaged in the production of tractors. It is interesting that the founder of the company during the Second World War was engaged in the development of German tanks "Tiger" and "Mouse".

Now you know what the K-744 is, why this machine is more than competitive, and what disadvantages it has. Please note that the modifications have imported components, which is why, in the event of a breakdown, difficulties may arise both with the price and with the possibility of purchasing spare parts. There are also important differences between the standard equipment and the premium version, which are lower fuel consumption.

The main idea of ​​the Kirovets tractors is high productivity, excellent cross-country ability and maneuverability, simplicity and reliability of the design, maintainability, aggregation with both traditional and modern wide-cut integrated tillage and seeding implements and machines.

The capabilities of one tractor of the K-744R series make it possible to prepare and sow up to 5,000 hectares in full compliance with agricultural terms within a year. At the same time, the minimum cost of sowing 1 hectare is guaranteed.

Due to its excellent traction and transport characteristics, Kirovtsy are used all year round for the most difficult transport operations: work in cold weather, towing stuck equipment, etc.

The warranty period for Kirovets tractors of the K-744R series is 1 year or 2000 operating hours.

The K-744R line includes eight models of general-purpose agricultural tractors of 5 ... 8 traction classes with a capacity from 300 to 428 hp.

Each model can be equipped with a domestic or foreign engine. All tractors are equipped with a hydraulic system of the working equipment with an axial piston pump with a maximum capacity of 180 l / min.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE TRACTOR

High functionality, productivity, efficiency and reliability of KIROVETS tractors of the K-744R series are characterized by high average annual operating time - 1500-3000 operating hours.

Some 15-30 years are left before the advent of robotic tractors, but for now modern machines remove the lion's share of the load from operators, reducing the influence of the human factor on productivity. In less than 100 years, there has been a transition from primitive to comfortable tractors, in which today conditions are much better than in premium machines from the 40s and 70s of the 19th century.

The ancestor of the discussed technology was produced at the Kirov Tractor Plant. The K-744 tractor, the technical characteristics of which, even with the development of modern technology, have few analogues, is still the most powerful 5th generation tractor.

The release of the modernized tractor, as well as its analogues, began in 1995, after the restructuring, and already using German technologies.

General information, purpose, scope

Today, the Kirovets K-744R2 tractor is produced in 4 versions, corresponding to the 5-8 traction class. The high power of the tractor is determined by domestic (YaMZ and TMZ W-300-400 hp) and foreign (Mercedes, Cummins 306-428 hp) power units. The main purpose of the equipment is the transportation of goods, heavy and oversized, therefore it is used at enterprises of high complexity:

  • metallurgical;
  • mining;
  • logging;
  • road works;
  • agricultural - for volumes of thousands of hectares and with any type of attachments.

In addition to the main production of several modifications and configurations, the structure was used as a base for the manufacture of loaders, forest shooters, graders, rollers - only 17 types.

Advantages and disadvantages

After the modernization, little remained of the old Kirovets: components, assemblies and appearance were changed. It has acquired many advantages, especially for the operator's workplace:

  • comfortable cabin (high noise insulation, computer control, comfortable chair);
  • reduced consumption of fuels and lubricants;
  • triple safety factor of the engine;
  • modern hydraulic system that allows the use of all types of attachments.

Disadvantages are determined by the design features:

  • when working with heavy attachments, power decreases;
  • Due to its heavy weight, the tractor exerts a strong load on the soil, therefore, for its use in agricultural work, it is necessary to use twin wheels.

The advantages of the K-744 tractor include a comfortable cab

Technical characteristics of all modifications

Tractor diagram

Device. Distinctive features

The engine can be installed in two types:

  • Domestic - YaMZ or TMZ 4-cylinder, with a capacity of 300-400 liters. sec., torque 1800 rpm;
  • Foreign - Mercedes or Cummins 6-cylinder, with a capacity of 306-428 liters. sec., torque - 2000 rpm. and a turbocharging system.

All types of engines are designed in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 9001 quality system, and have high safety indicators, high efficiency (up to 92%), and are environmentally friendly. Cooled by a water-oil system and equipped with a pre-starting engine. At a specific consumption of 162 g / l. s. * hour and a tank volume of 640 liters of fuel is enough for 10-13 hours of work, which is convenient for employment at remote sites.

The frame is articulated, the front axle is reinforced with a sprung suspension. Stability is added by using half frame weights.

Chassis

Transmission - 24-speed gearbox (16/8 gears). The drive axle is front, but when a certain degree of load is exceeded, the rear is connected, and the tractor becomes an all-wheel drive model. The processing and chemical composition of the gear rims of the gear wheels have been changed, due to which the distribution accuracy and the load in the axles are increased.

Hydraulics

There are two advantages here that determine the capabilities of the entire system:

  • 5-circuit system;
  • power of the axial piston station 180 l / min.

When choosing a tractor Kirovets K-744R2 in the "Premium" configuration, the structure will be supplemented with PTO splines of various diameters, which increases the type and type of attachments.

Maintenance and repair

Vehicle operation without maintenance within the time specified by the manufacturer is prohibited! According to the requirements, the equipment must undergo a multifaceted service:

  • Every shift or every 10 mth - check oil, fasteners, fuel.
  • Seasonal - in spring, at a steady temperature of 5-6 ° C, in autumn at t (minus) -5 ° C.
  • By operating a certain number of engine hours.

The main type of prevention - running-in - is used for a new tractor or that has undergone major overhaul (replacement of a unit or unit). Inspection and troubleshooting are carried out in three stages: when preparing the tractor for running-in, during and after running-in.

Each main unit uses its own preventive maintenance schedule. The types and frequency of work are indicated in the operating instructions:

  • engine;
  • pneumatic systems;
  • wheelbase.

Manufacturer

The first Fordson-Putilovets tractor, the K-700 prototype, was produced using American technology. After him, the models "Universal-1" and "Universal-2" appeared. In 1962-63, 50 Kirovtsev rolled off the assembly line, then it was a tractor in 2 modifications, differing in engine power. Constant improvement led in the 1990s to the appearance of the K-734 and K-744 models - the basic tractors, which after 5 years became the modern 5th modification of the K-744R.

Today JSC Kirovsky Zavod is an industrial group, which directly includes the Petersburg Tractor Plant.

Kirovets K 744 has been produced since 1995 by the St. Petersburg plant. This subsidiary of the Kirov Tractor Plant has retained all the technical characteristics of the famous series of heavy tractors. The machine was created with the involvement of German engineers, which could not but affect the functionality and comfort of the tractor. The model K 700 M1 was taken as a basis, which ceased to meet modern requirements and therefore needed a worthy replacement.

Features of the machine

The Kirovets K744 tractor has the fifth traction class. The machine is designed for multifunctional use... The technique worked well and therefore the series was continued.

In total, four versions of the K-744 tractor came off the assembly line of the plant. The performance of the entire model range is greatly influenced by the installed powerful engine. Thanks to the power plant, the equipment can work without problems with various attachments.


Kirovets K-744 P1

The fourth generation of Kirovets tractors can be found on construction and mining sites, logging, and on various road works.

In agriculture, tractors of this class are irreplaceable. With one tractor from this series, about 5,000 hectares can be cultivated and sown. Which provides significant savings. It is worth noting that the machines are adapted to various climatic conditions, therefore they can be used in all regions of the country, at any time of the year.

Technique device

The first machines of the Kirovets K-744 series were equipped with YMZ-238ND5 turbocharged eight-cylinder engines. This four-stroke unit is complemented by a cold start system and a radiator with a water-in-oil cooling circuit.

The power plant has a power of 300 horsepower at a crankshaft speed of 1900 rpm. Fuel consumption at peak power is 174 g / l hour.

The volume of the fuel tank is 630 liters. This allows the machine to work for a long time without refueling, which is very important for remote fields and construction sites.

The transmission includes a 24 speed gearbox. The available gears are divided into four ranges: 16 forward and 8 reverse. The gearbox (gearbox) belongs to the Powerschift class, which means power shifting of gears.

To change the speed mode without losing power, hydraulic control is provided. The work of the attached and trailed equipment is ensured by the hydraulic system, which consists of an axial piston pump station and a five-circuit hydraulic valve. The pump capacity is 180 l / min.


Kirovets K-744

The K 744 tractor is equipped with an articulated frame. This gives the machine greater stability and increased cross-country ability on difficult terrain. To prevent damage to the fertile soil during agricultural work, twinning of the wheels and the possibility of reducing the pressure in the tires are provided.

The design features of the frame provide the vehicle with good maneuverability, the turning radius is 7.9 meters. To improve the balance of the machine and better grip on the ground, additional weights are installed on the half frames.

The tractor has two driving axles, which are made of high-strength steel. Of the features of the chassis, a self-locking differential and planetary-type final drives can be noted. A rigid suspension type is used for each axle. The pneumatic system provides separate control of the braking system of axles and trailed equipment.

The cab is made in full compliance with international standards. There is a heating and air conditioning system. The steering column and operator's seat can be adjusted in several positions, depending on the weight and height of the driver.

The panoramic view provides a large glass area and a central position of the operator's seat. The cab has good air tightness, which provides reliable sound insulation.

Pleasantly pleased with the plastic trim inside the cab and the modifiable roof structure. The operation of all systems is monitored by an on-board computer, which displays the necessary data on an informative display.

Equipment used

The K-744 tractor has a three-point attachment attachment scheme. A pendulum mount is provided for trailers. Here is a list of equipment aggregated to the tractor:

Specifications:


Mods overview

Kirovets K-744R has become a worthy continuation of the series. There were three cars with this index: Р1, Р2 and Р3. Each of these models has minor differences from the basic version. Of the main features, the engine can be distinguished, which began to produce even more power.

The Kirovets K-744R tractor, like its prototype, was equipped with a YaMZ power plant, only of another series - Cummins 300. This gave a little more horsepower - 306, and allowed an increase in torque to 2000 rpm.

A Mercedes engine was installed on the Kirovets K-744 P2 and K-744 P3 cars. Both cars have a lower crankshaft speed of 1800 rpm. But the power plants assembled according to German technology have more power - 354 and 401 hp.

In each car from this series, the designers have made some changes that affect not only the functionality, but also the comfort of the machines. Here is some of them.

Kirovets K-744R rolled off the assembly line with the sprung suspension of the front axle. The cab has been reinforced with a sturdy frame. In addition, fuel consumption has been reduced in contrast to the basic version.

The next tractor in the series, K-744 P2, had a fundamentally different engine, which made it possible to significantly increase the power of the equipment.

Kirovets K-744 P3 is the final and, accordingly, the most powerful vehicle in the series. Here, a different type of hydraulic valve was used and it is possible to install additional ballast.


Kirovets K-744 P2

Advantages and disadvantages

The Kirovets K-744 tractor and its subsequent modifications confidently occupy a leading position among heavy vehicles of this traction class. There are a number of reasons for this:

  • the machine has a large margin of safety. Manufacturers guarantee 2000 hours of trouble-free operation of equipment. In fact, this indicator can be safely multiplied by 3. Due to the thoughtful design and quality of the parts used in the assembly, the equipment very rarely fails;
  • a comfortable cabin, together with a spacious fuel tank and minimal fuel consumption, provide up to 14 hours of continuous operation. During this time, the equipment can be operated at maximum power;
  • availability and interchangeability of spare parts and main working units;
  • great functionality of the machine. When using additional equipment, the tractor can act as a road roller or loader;
  • thanks to the powerful generator, the tractor can be used for welding.

The tractors of the Kirovets family are favored by the fact that European farmers prefer to buy these very machines, often ignoring their manufacturers.

Available for the car and limitations... Despite the use of low pressure tires, the tractor damages the fertile soil layer. All the same, the weight of the equipment is rather big. Therefore, for agricultural work, Russian farmers prefer to use lighter equipment.

In addition, when machines operate with attachments, power losses are noted. The flawed hydraulic system is to blame for this. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to purchase and install sensors that monitor oil loss.

Since 1995, together with German engineers, the development of new modifications based on the Kirovets K 744 tractor began. The model range of the P series includes 4 modifications of the 5-8 traction class, which is determined by the engine power of both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

The photo for 744p4 shows what forms the updated tractor has acquired, but from the inside it has become more ergonomic. All components and assemblies have undergone revision:

  • transmission;
  • running gear;
  • hydraulics;
  • control;
  • cabin.

Kasemsot 744, also called a tractor, in terms of its power this machine is designed to perform heavy work, mainly the transportation of goods, therefore it is used in complex enterprises:

  • metallurgical;
  • mining;
  • quarries;
  • logging;
  • road works.

But since the tractor can work with attachments, then it is also used in agriculture for processing areas of thousands of hectares: for plowing, harrowing, sowing.

In addition, the design of Kirovets was taken as a basis for such special vehicles as a front-end loader, a forestry operator, a forestry stacker, a gradozer, a vibratory roller, and a snowplow.

Specifications

The entire line of tractors differs in terms of the power of the completed engine. Technical characteristics of K 744r4 - the most powerful tractor in the new modification:

  • length 7050 mm;
  • width 2875 mm;
  • height 3690 mm;
  • unloaded transport weight 13400 kg;
  • speed 4.5-28 km / h.

For the use of the tractor in agriculture and areas with soft or swampy soils, double wheels are installed to reduce the pressure on the ground (unit load) and increase the flotation.

Engine characteristics

Domestic engines are installed on the K-744R model:

YaMZ or TMZ:

  • power of 300 and 420 hp;
    torque 1800 rpm;
    4-cylinder.

Or foreign made Mercedes or Cummins:

  • with a capacity of 306 and 428 hp;
  • with a torque of 2000 rpm;
  • 6 cylinders;
  • Turbocharging system.

The engines are equipped with a combined cooling system (water-oil) with pre-heaters installed on them. The main difference between these installations:

  • ease of use;
  • motor resource 12000 hours;
  • working conditions - UHL, U, T.

All engines are designed according to world standards, have high efficiency indicators, the highest possible efficiency and meet the environmental requirements for harmful emissions, as well as noise and vibration during operation.

Cabin

Improved working conditions are provided by a cab designed in accordance with EU requirements. High tightness, reduces noise and vibration impact on the driver. Air conditioning and heating allows you to work in all 3 climatic zones. The driver's working space is adjusted by adjusting the height of the hydraulic seat and tilting the steering column in several positions. The cabin is finished with practical plastic. Computer control over the operation of all systems and units is used.

Fuel consumption

The fuel consumption has been reduced in contrast to the old version and now the specific consumption is 162 g / h.p. * hour. With a tank volume of 640 liters, fuel is enough for 9-13 hours of operation without refueling, which is very important for work at remote sites.

Device

What new changes has the K 744 tractor received and how are they beneficial for the user?

The articulated frame has been reinforced with front axle suspension for increased stability. To increase traction, weights are installed on the semi-frames.

Increased noise; vibration isolation of the cab, installation of air conditioning and heating.

Transmission. Consists of a 24-speed gearbox with power transmission (total 16 speeds 16/8). Hydraulics in control eliminates the loss of power when changing the speed mode. The torque is transmitted by means of discs arranged on clutches coated with sulfocyanated. The composition and, accordingly, the processing of gears (gear rims) has been changed, due to which the accuracy has increased and the load in the driving axles is evenly distributed.

Hydraulics. The 5-circuit system is responsible for the operation of attachments and controls. Provided by the operation of an axial piston station with a pump capacity of 180 l / min (maximum).

The PTO design was completed with splines of various diameters, which increased the type and type of attachments.

Advantages and disadvantages

Naturally, after the grandiose modifications to which Kirovets underwent, he had more advantages than disadvantages.

Main advantages:

  1. Reduced fuel consumption;
  2. Increased power;
  3. Safety margin increased to 3 (with the recommended 2000 operating hours);
  4. Comfortable cab;
  5. It is used with attachments in the amount of 22 pieces and, if necessary, can act as a source of energy for welding.

But nevertheless, there are disadvantages, which are mainly related to the weight of the equipment:

  • Not suitable for the complex implementation of agricultural work, you have to purchase an additional lighter tractor;
  • Not enough power loss with heavy attachments.
