Abstract. The purpose of the study was to consider the ways to improve agricultural machines to reduce soil compaction during technological operations, as well as the options for creating a constant track for the stable operation of machines on periodically overwetting soils under monsoon climate of the Far East. The object of the study was a self-propelled bridge agricultural system, consisting of a platform with a set of technological equipment, moving along the constant track. Under conditions of reclamation systems, the bridge platform is moved with the help of gravel-pebble drains, which, due to the hard structure, ensure the stability of technological processes regardless of weather conditions. At the same time, the bridge system under consideration creates the conditions for solving the problem of rationing plant life support elements (fertilizers, chemical plant protection products, as well as nutrition area, seeding depth, agrotechnical periods, etc.). This determines a stable and high crop yield with economical and environmentally friendly production combined with an increase in the intellectuality of agricultural labour. The hardness of the support and the entire bridge system allowed to use the robotics by the most efficient way on the basis of the parameters of crop cultivation technologies stored in the computer memory, whereas the high mobility of the vehicle ensures the compliance with the optimal terms. The estimated daily capacity of the bridge system is 70 ha. Bridge farming allows solving many problems of agricultural production in the Far East, associated with the extremely unstable hydrological regime of soils due to the monsoon climate, as well as with an acute shortage of labour resources.
