In Ukraine agricultural mechanical engineering is orientated on the rise of the industrial capacity and the productivity of the technical means. Resource saving technologies, ecological safety and creation of the comfortable working conditions are of primary importance nowadays. Modern agro-industrial production requires the rise in the research potential in the development of agricultural machinery, which is aimed at producing high quality machinery that, in turn, causes the rise in the prices for the new technical means. In resent years Ukraine has got a great amount of foreign agricultural machinery due to government and international credits. The production volume of Ukrainian agricultural machinery has increased due to the funds provided by the state leasing fund. Some scientists insist on the importance of preserving the large farms as this ensures the rise of the efficiency of production. The article provides data on the service life of agricultural machinery in collective farms of Mykolaiv oblast. In 1998 the majority of the tractors (55-79 %) has been in use for more than 10 years whereas in 1990 only 8-22 %. Another problem covered in the article is the reduction in machinery operating personnel's skill. The possible way out of the crisis is the development of collective agricultural enterprises as well as recreation of machinery and technological stations, setting up cooperative corporations with equal initial conditions
