The article presents the results of an analysis of the standards for agricultural machinery requirements for various periods of their operation in the country’s agro-industrial complex. The studies were conducted using economic and statistical methods and techniques. In the reference materials, basically, agrotechnical terms (time periods) for the performance of basic agricultural work are presented, which correspond to the reference standards for agricultural machinery requirements. It has been established that the availability of agricultural machinery per 1000 hectares of arable land (crops) currently makes up no more than 30% of the normative, and this, first of all, affects the increase in the duration of work, that is, on the agro-technical terms, as well as on the shift of calendar terms of production. Recommendations are given on carrying out agricultural work in an acceptable agrotechnical timeframe with the following provision of agricultural production per 1000 ha: tractors – 5.42 standard units, combine harvesters – 2.67 standard units, forage harvesters – 2.22 standard units.

To date, scientists have formulated the structure of the agro-industrial complex (APC) of Russia, which is adhered to by most researchers. This structure is interpreted as a model of four spheres. The fi rst is a collection of industries specializing in agricultural production. This also includes construction in the agricultural sector and its logistics. The second area is agricultural production itself, and the third is the industries associated with the storage, sale, processing, etc. The Russian APC also includes activities that have not entered any of the spheres. This is, for example, special agricultural science, management, training, etc. Determining the trend of the development of the engineering and technical system of the Russian APC, both in the pre-perestroika period, and at present, considering the domestic and foreign experience. Agricultural machinery is the locomotive of the agricultural sector, the improvement of which determines the structure of agricultural producers. Its constant development and application for agricultural work ultimately determines not only the technology of agricultural work, but also the social way of the rural population. It was the improvement of agricultural machinery that served to stratify the social situation of the peasantry, which was originally the owners of small plots of land. In recent years, the main direction of the development of technology is to increase its capacity and productivity, in the calculation of processing large areas, which does not always coincide with the needs of farmers. Despite the progress, a large part of agricultural producers works in very limited areas, which often aff ects the priority demand for the equipment of the previous generation. As a result of the research, the following basic principles of the key areas of the Agricultural Sector can be formulated: agriculture is an economic sector aimed at providing food (food, raw materials) and is a donor for other sectors of the economy, a source of replenishment of national income for solving the urgent problems of the country. At present, the eff ectiveness of Russia’s APC is signifi cantly lower than in the leading countries and it is important not only to analyze the existing problems, but also to consider options for changing the current situation; the main engine of agricultural development is agricultural machinery, which forms the potential of agricultural production. This capacity depends on the level of technical support for the industry with machines and equipment for agricultural work of a wide range. Consideration and analysis of the possibility of raising this level considering the national specifi cs of Russia and international experience of industrial development, including agricultural engineering, is also a very important task (Conclusions) according to the authors, TST is an integral and important element of agricultural engineering, and, therefore, the core element of the Agricultural Sector. Analysis of this element, considering past experience, as well as new domestic and foreign developments, will justify the direction of modernization of the TST taking into account the national mentality.

The problem of updating the fleet of agricultural machinery and introducing technologies into agricultural production is acute. In the current foreign policy and economic conditions, the issue of ensuring food security has become extremely important, in connection with which there is an urgent need to increase the efficiency of agricultural production in a short time. In such a situation, the most effective way is to intensify production, and in this process, machinery and equipment play a primary role. The study found that in the Russian Federation in the period 2015-2020. There was a reduction in the fleet of agricultural machinery, which caused an increase in the load on the existing fleet of tractors and combine harvesters. The rates of renewal of agricultural machinery concerning tractors and combine harvesters have decreased, which, together with other conditions, negatively characterizes the situation with the renewal of the fleet of machinery in agricultural production. In the context of ensuring the implementation of the policy of import substitution and ensuring food security, the state should provide greater support to agricultural producers when updating the fleet of equipment, since in the context of the weakening of the ruble, the deterioration of the national economic system, the falling purchasing power of the population and other factors, agricultural producers will not be able to independently master additional the financial burden, and the renewal of the material and technical base, especially when it comes to the supply of imported equipment, is an expensive issue.

To ensure highly efficient operation of agricultural machinery and equipment, it is necessary to improve the system of technical services in agriculture by creating specialized service centers. The system of maintenance in agriculture is characterized by a significant decrease in efficiency due to critical physical and moral wear of equipment of repair and technical enterprises (RTP), low level and insufficient qualification of Executive personnel and managers of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex (AIC). These changes led to the loss of the majority of RTP for agriculture and their re-equipment for non-agricultural production. According to experts, in the service sectors of agriculture, there was a loss of technological production and a significant part of applied science. This is especially worrisome due to the catastrophic aging of cars and the lack of funds to replace them. It is necessary to improve the General condition of the equipment of repair shops, the availability of existing agricultural enterprises with production areas is no more than 50%, technological equipment — no more than 47%, and technological equipment and equipment of workplaces — 15% — 40%, respectively. The priority areas of modernization of the infrastructure of technical service of agricultural machinery are related to updating the technological base of machine repair. Based on a reliable assessment and analysis of the technological level of RTP, which takes into account a number of technological, technical, organizational and environmental factors of production. RTP does not have the necessary equipment and devices to perform a number of maintenance and maintenance operations. The process of developing the technical service infrastructure lags far behind the level of structural and technological complexity of agricultural machinery. Due to technological requirements, such complex components and assemblies as engines, hydraulic equipment, fuel pumps of domestic and imported agricultural machinery should not be repaired in the conditions of farms. In a number of works proved the following provision: evaluation of the technological level repair enterprises shall be based on the application of such methods and means of technological preparation of production, which correspond to the advanced achievements of science and technology, and provide high-capacity system maintenance to continuous improvement. A high technological level of technical service enterprises is a condition for efficient operation of any type of production, ensuring its stability and reliability of operation, flexibility and adaptability, high intensity and waste-free operation.
