Abstract
Mechanized technology of crop production is a sequence of impacts on soil, seeds, plants and fertilizers strictly specifi ed in time and space. These requirements can be satisfi ed only in case certain technical support is provided, which is a regulatory technological need. In this regard, it is necessary to develop methods for assessing the demand for crop production equipment using the coeffi cients for converting physical units of equipment into reference units. The characteristic of reference conditions is presented when determining the performance of machine-tractor units. Tractors TE-120 and TE-150 (conditional brands) were taken as reference machines. The fi rst one corresponds to the modern technical level, which allows making calculations until 2025. The second reference sample can be used in calculations after 2025. The main technical characteristics of tractors are given. The paper presents methods for assessing the technological demand for tractors in agricultural enterprises, agrozones, federal districts, republics, regions and the country as a whole. The authors analyze the block diagram of the development standards for the demand and determine the technologically required size of the machine and tractor fl eet in Russia. They show that each agricultural enterprise can determine how much equipment it should purchase to complete the entire amount of work in the agricultural period using conditional (reference) coeffi cients. For regions, federal districts and the country as a whole, specialists can not only estimate the number of equipment, but also predict the future demand for technological means.The use of conditional (reference) coeffi cients allows assessing the existing availability of the necessary machines and agricultural tractors in the regions and the country and determining the estimated demand and the number of various-sized equipment to be purchased to provide technical support for all modern and future technologies.
