I was at Goodwood last September and counted 10 in the air together, 2 groups of 4 and one of 2. I believe there were 12 but 2 didn't make it into the air.

Thought it was 10 but couldnt remember.

great site

Looks the same as the ones on the Rapier/M548's

Sounds like you will be buying a mobile home:laugh:

I was down at Goodwood last year and there were 7 or 10 flying quite inpressive!

Bambi for breackfast? :cool2:

it was mentioned:-D

Great place for a show! Lots of history there. Take a ride on one of the tractors(or a 432:D) round the site huge place. I will be going.

Woke up in the morning to stick my head out of the tent to see a load(herd) of deer wandering around the tents.

Very easy to get to as just off the M25 a nice chill out show that will suit all.

knew I had seen it somewhere. Should of left it with you for spares:-D

Looks to be a Batus vehicle must have cost a few quid to get it back! another on there as well.

My thoughts about the winch so much safer and can be inched in. Recipe for disaster. Trying to save time I guess:-(

Nice to see one towed with a braking system in use:-) Dont forget it becomes a trailer as over 750kg lots dont have brakes connected in this way.

Its not that nice a one but OK. The old tin worm has taken hold in a few places. If you like Mutt's Masseyboy on here has a A2 for sale that needs a bit doing it. Its on ebay at the mo!

Opps!!:shocked:

Painted a M151A1 mutt for a mate this week also added a wading kit to it as well. Whilst I had some green in the gun i painted the M416 as well

Hi Wiljo. Welcome I have visited Oosterbeck on the Help4Heroes Rally for the last 2 years and will be there again in June this year. lovely Place we stay at a camp site next to one of the LZ's.

I be on duty following up behind on breakdown support in the Landrover.

Why is it that events clash so much? This Sunday 1st April is a good example. There is a road run to Hastings, a 4X4 autojumble in Newbury, the first local Big car boot sale starts, there is a charity table top sale locally, and it's the Reading half-Marathon which means I cannot get out of my house all morning and Reading is grid-locked.

Anyone else found that events you want to go to always seem to be on the same dates?

I'll be on the Hastings run on breakdown support:cheesy: Anything for a free lunch!

OK, guys !

 

I have seen all your messages - yes, You are right: this tractor is "go-anywhere !" (well - almost anywhere).

But You all make one big mistake: this big yellow tractor have the name "KIROVETS" - and NOT "Belarus" !

 

(When You read or say this name, You must accent on "I" letter - Kirovets).

 

Now see here:

 

"Belarus" is usual "not big" agricultural and universal purpose tractor:

And so on.

 

Your tractor is "Kolossal" and much heavier.

It is "Kirovets" heavy tractor. First "Kirovets" tractor was produced in 1962; mass production of this tractor was established from 1969.

It has several main models:

- K-700 with 220 h. p. engine (produced from 1962 until 1975);

- K-700A with 235 h. p. engine (produced from 1975 until 2002);

- K-701 with 300 h. p. engine (produced from 1975 until 2002);

- K-702;

- K-703;

- K-704;

- K-744 (modern version, from 2002).

These models had many versions for many purposes.

See the links:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7lAdDOhjxA - different versions from first to latest are shown;

 

- History of manufacture of "Kirovets" tractor - video from 1977 - 150 000 of these tractors were produced to this date !

 

- Finnish "Kirovets". See also other videos on this page !

 

And - Yes, this tractor has double main mission: first mission - agricultural and industrial purposes; second mission - military purposes (as artillery tractors). But these tractors were never used on military roles. They were used as artillery tractors during pre-production trials only.

 

Hello from Russia !

 

Regards,

Modello.

Cheers Modello nice few links on this one. Defo has a Belarus badge on the back(would they be licence built for other places?

Mine is for the first big vehicle I owned a m109a3 shop van

Tony

Thats the one! Awesome the way it crabs its way out of the river. Dont forget the tyres are over 5ft tall so it shows its off road ability

Only 2-4 miles away in Sandhurst.

Welcome to the site.

Not mine its a Rental:D I have never seen another one in the UK I have seen them in Germany as a working tool. I'm told the russian's used them as artillery tractors in the mountains.

That will keep you busy!! Not many of those around these days I also have an early one EA reg so 60's sometime. Will do it one day.

:nut:mmmmmmmmmn Bratties just need some curry sauce

I cant find out who seems to make these tanks I'm at a Landrover how at the weekend and will have an ask round there. Prices you have quoted seem very high but i guess shipping kills it.

if you want me to get a price for shipping one over let me know.

I was going to take the 434 but no thracked vehicles on a tank training area:nut: Told it was insurance(mine is insured) still maybe next the next one.
