Increasing production of livestock products requires a radical improvement of fodder production on farms and, above all, the procurement of stem fodder as such, ensuring the completeness of cattle feeding. Modern technologies and technical means of forage harvesting allow to perform high-quality work in agro-technical terms.
It is noted that haymaking, as well as other fodder, provides a systematic, comprehensive approach to the organization of work, staffing a set of technical means, their preparation for work, the collection and subsequent storage of feed.
The purpose of the research is to substantiate the peculiarities of the preparation of technical means for the procurement of leaf and stem materials for hay for the current state of technology in Ukraine and the world.
In the scientific work the peculiarities of preparation of technical means for harvesting hay from legumes and legume-cereal mixtures are considered. It is noted that to obtain high-quality hay should be widely used technical means that accelerate the drying of grass in the field: conditioners, tedders, rakes, and for drying hay - ventilation systems with heated air. The basic measures, adjustment and preparation of mechanization means at mowing, flattening, agitation and harvesting of hay are substantiated.
It is noted in the work that increasing the compression force of the rollers of the mower E-303 helps to accelerate the drying of the roller mass of the clover. It is established that the use of roller mower conditioner allows to get the weight for hay 2-3 days after mowing, which is less per day than mowing without weight conditioning. The obtained results allow to recommend the installation of rollers with an edge in front of the edge for accelerated drying of the mass, which allows to accelerate the drying process by 9-12 hours.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production.
During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured.
Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
