Research on the development of the agricultural sector of the Northern zone: Repair and maintenance of machines

Abstract

The use of complex and expensive equipment in agricultural production has significantly increased the requirements for the quality and timing of full performance of all the operations for its maintenance and storage. Nowadays the technical policy in the agro-industrial complex consists in the implementation of prompt and promising measures to satisfy agricultural producers and processors with high-quality, environmentally friendly and safe equipment, its efficient operation, a high level of mechanization and automation of labor, as well as the creation of a market for technical means and services. At the same time, a complex of measures that would consider both tactical and strategic situations in the context of the economic crisis is very important. In all cases, its starting point should be machine technology for the production of agricultural products and their processing, taking into account the peculiarities of the natural and climatic zones of the country. This is explained by many reasons, one of which is a decrease in the technical potential of village: the composition of machine and tractor fleet is decreasing and the physical and intellectual wear of equipment is progressing. According to the standard technology, the standards were created for labor costs for the repair of machines, standards for the consumption of materials required for repairs and rates for the use of spare parts. The practice of mass introduction of standard technology and norms has confirmed their high efficiency. The economic feasibility of restoring parts is usually assessed by the comparison of the cost of a new part and the cost of repairing a worn one. However, this does not take into account the difference in the service life of new and reworked parts and the additional costs associated with this.
