FS25 Kirovets K-710 v1.0
The Kirovets K-710 never made it into serial production. The Kirov Works in Leningrad built this beast in 1980 to mark the 200,000th tractor in the company’s history: an articulated four-wheel-drive machine in the style of the K-701, powered by an uprated version of the YaMZ-240 V12 and wearing bodywork that would later appear on the series-built K-701M and K-702. It was nicknamed “Ilyich”. At least three were photographed together at the presentation; other sources put the total at no more than fifty. What became of them is unknown.
The prototypes were painted red with a white cab, carried a large “K-710” on the grille and “500 hp” on the side of the hood, and routed two exhaust stacks along the sides of the engine cover instead of the single central pipe of the earlier models. All of that is reproduced here.
This is a full conversion to FS25, rebuilt rather than copied across. The legacy sound specialization, the obsolete FS19 shaders and the old material tinting have all been removed and replaced with current FS25 equivalents.
