The purpose. Finding ways to expand the technological capabilities of the car chassis, which will increase efficiency of their application, increase annual load and reduce their idle time. Methods. System analysis and methods of statistical processing of the obtained results of researches of operational indicators. Results. Perspective directions of use of car chassis MES-330 «Autotractor» as multipurpose mobile power means are substantiated, and formation on its baseline of mobile agricultural assemblies for accomplishment of production operations in agroindustrial production are proved. Basic constructional characteristics of MES-330 «Autotractor» are brought, as well as its basic operating characteristics with tillage combines. Conclusions. Use of multipurpose MES-330 «Autotractor» in agroindustrial production enables to reduce net cost of production of plant growing due to application of direct-flow schemes (a warehouse -field) of entering technological material, and to reduce cost of technical park. Nomenclature of hardware components for accomplishment of transport operation will raise efficiency of its use within a year.Key words: multipurpose, mobile power means, autotractor, car chassis.https://doi.org/10.31073/agrovisnyk201805-08Problem. One of the ways to reduce the cost of crop production is the use of multifunctional mobile energy products (MEZ), which can be effectively used as a performance of technological operations in the field of traction and drive concept, and in transport operations.Use in transport operations of tractors is limited by a relatively slow speed (30 km / h), shoulder crossings, etc. With an increase in the distance of transportation of more than 5 km, fuel consumption significantly increases compared to the car. In view of the above, there is a need to create an MEZ that will not have these deficiencies. If such a creation of the MEZ through the modernization of the tractor, it will lead to significant changes in its design, in particular: suspensions to extinguish road inequalities; control system; increase of longitudinal base; transmissions; braking system and other units. The cost of this tractor will increase several times compared with existing models. Accordingly, the unit cost of their work will also increase.The use of a high-performance automobile chassis on the implementation of agricultural technological operations will enable to solve the above-mentioned problem at lower costs.Analysis of recent research and publications. With the advent of technological progress, the tractor as an energy tool for agricultural operations loses its monopoly. Automobile plants Mercedes, MAN, KamAZ, Ural, MAZ, create automobile chassis that can be used in agroindustrial production by performing technological operations involving: introduction of various technological materials, soil tillage, sowing of crops, caring for their crops , transport operations, etc.To realize the power of the engine through the chassis, the cars are fitted with low-pressure tires with larger structural dime...
