The article presents the results of calculating the economic efficiency of sowing and plowing machine-tractor units. It is determined that agriculture plays a key role in ensuring food security and economic development in many countries. The success of crop production depends on several factors, including the efficiency of modern machine-tractor units, which play an important role. It is established that sowing and plowing MTU, as the primary means of performing agrotechnical operations, can significantly affect labor productivity, the quality of soil cultivation, and, as a result, crop yield. The economic efficiency of machine-tractor units was calculated by DSTU 4397:2005 “Methods of economic evaluation of equipment at the testing stage”. The economic efficiency of the sowing unit as part of the Belarus-1025.2 tractor and the Vega-8 W Profi seed drill in the basic and modernized versions was determined. It was established that increasing the efficiency of the operation of the sowing unit by improving its dynamic indicators provides an annual economic effect on sowing grain crops of 49926.00 UAH with a payback period of additional capital investments of 0.05 years. The economic efficiency of the plowing units consisting of the KhTZ-17224K tractor and the PLN-5-35 plow (basic version) and the plowing unit consisting of the KhTZ-243KC tractor and the PLN-6-35 plow (modernized version) was determined and compared. It was determined that increasing the efficiency of the operation of the plowing unit by improving the traction and coupling properties provides an annual economic effect on plowing of 173189.48 UAH with a payback period of additional capital investments of 0.05 years.
Keywords: methodology, economic efficiency, sowing unit, plowing unit.
