DIAGNOSTICS AND TECHNOLOGICAL MAINTENANCE OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES USED IN AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX
The article considers the current state of the system of maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery, shows the analysis of the existing system and its impact on the economic efficiency of production in the agro-industrial complex. The current state of instrumentation, electronics and computer technology can significantly increase and expand the possibilities of both diagnosing and forecasting based on it. The combination of these capabilities with the progress of agricultural machinery ensures its reliable, highly productive and economical operation. It is established that of great importance in the production of crop and livestock products is the qualified use of agricultural machinery, including its diagnosis, maintenance and technological maintenance and repair. The quantity and quality of the received production, its competitiveness, labor costs, fuel consumption and degree of influence on environment depend on quality and timeliness of carrying out service – diagnostics at technical and technological service. Improving the use of agricultural machinery and reducing the cost of its operation provides the use of technical diagnostics of machines as an information basis for the management of maintenance and repair processes. The practice of using diagnostic tools indicates the possibility of reducing operating costs. This is achieved by increasing the actual resource used, reducing the number of repairs and saving spare parts. To effectively apply existing diagnostics and development of new, engineering and technical workers of agricultural enterprises must have knowledge that reveals the fundamental side of the diagnosis. Measures of preventive influences which provide maintenance of necessary indicators of reliability and working capacity of cars during time of use are executed on a scientific basis, practical use and research of processes of wear and other deviations of details are developed.
