Amelioration is one of the most important factors of agricultural production intensification and scientific and technical progress implementation. One third of agricultural production of the Republic of Belarus is produced on reclaimed lands. Closed horizontal drainage is the most wide-spread method of regulation of water and air regimes of soils in the conditions of intensive agriculture of the state. Successful application of drain-installing machines supplies increase of labor productivity, improvement of amelioration works and agricultural crops productivity increase. A review of modern machines for building of closed horizontal drainage is presented. Different types of drain-installing machines are compared and analyzed. General views of different drain-installing machines of various manufacturers are displayed on photos. The most important advantages and shortcomings of each model are enumerated. Development of domestic drain-installing machine, based on different foreign analogs and including the most efficient technical characteristics of each model, is substantiated. Increase of effectiveness of agricultural production process due to application of drain-installing machine is proved.
