The goal of the paper is to render the methodological approach for selection of economically efficient array of machine-tractor pattern under the criteria "minimal direct usage costs" in particular production conditions. The competitiveness of agricultural production depends on a great number of factors, one of which is the efficient use of agricultural cultivation machinery. The selection of machines, their array, pattern and organization of usage in mechanization of the technological processes in agriculture may lead either to a higher or lower level of labor productivity and respectively to higher or lower price costs of agricultural production. The agricultural technique, as a part of the material-technical base (MTB) of farms forms big absolute and relative share in the capital structure and partake in the creation of the size of the fixed (production) costs. The relative share of fixed costs of agricultural machinery in a unit agricultural production might be bigger or respectively smaller hereof, the price costs to be higher or lower in dependence in the production of how big and what kind of production, it partake. Based on the analysis of concrete conditions is evolved methodological approach for determination of minimal exploitation costs for agricultural machinery in three variants own machinery pattern, second one usage of outside services for agricultural machinery and third mingled machinery pattern (part of the machines are own, while other part of the agricultural machinery is hired as a outside service from external owners and companies).
