Approaches to substantiating the optimal machine unit for plowing based on the analysis of technical, technological and economic indicators, which take into account the relationship between soil hardness, working speed, rut length and depth of processing, are considered. Justification is based on analysis of data on productivity, labor costs, fuel consumption, direct operating costs and quality index. The corresponding results were obtained on the basis of the calculations, taking into account the technical parameters of the machines and the conditions for carrying out a mechanized technological operation, which are typical for the conditions of the Sumy region. The obtained data allow producers of agricultural products to determine the optimal parameters and operating modes for plowing for a particular field. The influence of parameters and operating modes on the quality of plowing is also proven. The developed method allows you to analyze the efficiency of using any machine unit in accordance with the conditions.
