The 1000 series of tractors from Rostselmash is represented by four models: the already proven RSM 320 and RSM 340, as well as two new products – RSM 370 and RSM 400. These are universal row-crop machines with connected all-wheel drive, assembled on a classic rigid frame, and have today, perhaps the best set of consumer properties in its class.
The main thing that unites all models of 1000 series tractors is their versatility, productivity, efficiency and, of course, reliability, as well as excellent price-quality ratio. These are real universal helpers for any household. They carry out all work related to the care of row crops as efficiently as possible: tillage, sowing, fertilizing and plant protection, harvesting, etc. At the same time, a good power reserve allows you to work with a wide range of tools of both domestic and foreign production.

Review of the RSM 340 tractor
In Bashkiria, one of the 1000 series tractors operates in the peasant farm Shultz V.M., Aurgazinsky district. Vasily Mikhailovich, Head of the farm, shared his impressions with us:
Now our farm is about 1200 hectares, of which 1100 are under row crops and about 100 are under potatoes. There is all sorts of equipment - both domestic and imported, but the Rostselmash tractor was purchased only last year. Just at the exhibition in Ufa, we met the AKROS RB company, which, taking into account our needs, suggested that we consider the 1000 series. Of course, at first there were doubts, but after looking and “feeling” the tractor left a positive impression, and of course the cost of the machine was not in favor of the competitors!
As for the tractor’s performance, I’ll say this: we have something to compare with, and the RSM 340 performed very well. That season, we used it for plowing with a 9-furrow semi-mounted plow, for sowing we combined it with a wide-cut Kuzbass plow, and before winter we attached an 8-meter discor - there is enough power to spare, it works quickly and, most importantly, without compromising quality. He also worked for us harvesting grain with a bunker-reloader - he did an excellent job, the combines did not stand idle.

The operator is also satisfied: the machine is very comfortable and easy to operate. There are no problems with maintenance at all, we carry out all maintenance at the official dealer - AKROS RB, fortunately we are only 100 km from them; True, the service team was called once, but after 2 hours the machine was already working in the field.
