THE ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT STATE AND TRENDS OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING IN RUSSIA
today, the domestic industry of agricultural machinery there is a significant reduction of the fleet of machines and equipment. For example, compared to 1990 in 2009 the number of issued equipment decreased more than in 6 times. The reduction of the fleet of agricultural products in 2013 compared with 2012 amounted to 6 %. This trend has led to a shortage of equipment, and as consequence, to decrease of labor productivity in agriculture. Also, it is annually reduced the production of agricultural machinery. For example, in 2014 the amount dropped by 10 % compared to the previous year and amounted to 15 560,9 pieces compared to 17 313,1 pieces in 2013. Key trends in modern agricultural machinery is the creation of machine designs, allowing the use of highly intensive technologies, significantly increase productivity, to create favorable conditions for crop production, increase crop yields and productivity of animals, reduce losses at sowing, the fertilizing, the harvesting, to ensure environmental safety and safe working conditions. In the tractor industry much attention is paid to the use of electronics and hydraulics. Wide practical implementation of received electronic fuel control, the position of the wheels with independent suspension damping seat, leveling cabin on the slope, the gear shift under load, speed and load modes, continuously variable transmission, regulation of the suspended system.
