從(cong)“天衣(yi)無(wu)縫”甚至“刀(dao)耕火種”到(dao)“全方位、全過程機械化”，中國農業機械化不(bu)斷發展，走上了中國特色的道路。

1949年至1980年，中央提(ti)出了(le)明確的(de)(de)農業機械化發(fa)展目(mu)標和(he)相應的(de)(de)方針政策(ce)。在有(you)條件的(de)(de)社(she)會和(he)隊伍(wu)中設立農機站，支持群眾(zhong)性農具改革運動。我國農機產業從(cong)制造新型農機工具起步，從(cong)無到有(you)逐步發(fa)展。

1981年(nian)至1995年(nian)，農(nong)(nong)(nong)村實行(xing)(xing)家庭聯產承(cheng)包責任(ren)制。集(ji)體(ti)農(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)(ji)站逐(zhu)(zhu)步解散。國家開始(shi)(shi)允許農(nong)(nong)(nong)民獨立購買和經(jing)營農(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)(ji)農(nong)(nong)(nong)民逐(zhu)(zhu)漸成為農(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)(ye)(ye)機(ji)(ji)(ji)械(xie)投(tou)資經(jing)營的(de)主體(ti)為適(shi)應農(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)(ye)(ye)生產組織的(de)重大(da)變化，農(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)(ji)行(xing)(xing)業(ye)(ye)(ye)開始(shi)(shi)了(le)第一輪大(da)規模結構調整，重點(dian)生產小型農(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)(ji)、手扶拖拉(la)機(ji)(ji)(ji)、農(nong)(nong)(nong)副產品加工機(ji)(ji)(ji)械(xie)、農(nong)(nong)(nong)用(yong)運(yun)輸(shu)車等(deng)。大(da)中型拖拉(la)機(ji)(ji)(ji)和配(pei)套(tao)農(nong)(nong)(nong)具(ju)停滯不前(qian)，機(ji)(ji)(ji)械(xie)配(pei)套(tao)比例失調，田間(jian)機(ji)(ji)(ji)械(xie)利用(yong)率低，農(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)(ye)(ye)作業(ye)(ye)(ye)機(ji)(ji)(ji)械(xie)化水平(ping)緩慢提(ti)高(gao)。

到20世紀(ji)90年(nian)代中(zhong)期，大量農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)村(cun)勞動力(li)開(kai)(kai)始轉移，農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)村(cun)季(ji)節性用(yong)工荒的(de)趨(qu)勢不(bu)斷出現國家(jia)有(you)關(guan)部委(wei)開(kai)(kai)始組織(zhi)開(kai)(kai)展(zhan)大規模跨區域小(xiao)麥收(shou)獲(huo)服務(wu)大大提(ti)高了(le)聯合收(shou)割機(ji)(ji)的(de)利(li)用(yong)率和(he)作(zuo)業(ye)(ye)效(xiao)率。探索解(jie)決小(xiao)農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)生(sheng)產(chan)(chan)與農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)規模經營(ying)矛盾(dun)的(de)有(you)效(xiao)途徑，初步形(xing)成了(le)特色(se)農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)業(ye)(ye)機(ji)(ji)械化發(fa)展(zhan)道路農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)行業(ye)(ye)也迎來(lai)了(le)新一(yi)輪(lun)的(de)產(chan)(chan)品(pin)結構調整，高效(xiao)大中(zhong)型農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)開(kai)(kai)始恢(hui)復增長(chang)，小(xiao)型農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)增速放緩，聯合收(shou)割機(ji)(ji)應運而生(sheng)，一(yi)度成為農(nong)(nong)(nong)(nong)機(ji)(ji)行業(ye)(ye)發(fa)展(zhan)的(de)支柱產(chan)(chan)業(ye)(ye)。

事(shi)實上，農機更新換代是我國(guo)農業發(fa)展進程的一(yi)個縮影只有(you)從無(wu)到有(you)，拖拉(la)機逐步(bu)多樣化，才從一(yi)個側面印證了中國(guo)農業機械(xie)乃至(zhi)整個中國(guo)農業的發(fa)展變化。

黨(dang)的(de)(de)(de)十八(ba)大以來，農(nong)業科技(ji)創新步(bu)伐明顯加快，鄉(xiang)村(cun)(cun)振興插上了(le)科技(ji)的(de)(de)(de)翅膀。以拖拉(la)(la)機(ji)(ji)為例目前(qian)，國內已成功研制(zhi)出自(zi)主式和無(wu)人(ren)(ren)駕駛拖拉(la)(la)機(ji)(ji)。中國人(ren)(ren)工智(zhi)能(neng)協會預測，到2030年(nian)，無(wu)人(ren)(ren)駕駛拖拉(la)(la)機(ji)(ji)將(jiang)在(zai)中國農(nong)村(cun)(cun)普及(ji)。與70年(nian)前(qian)拖拉(la)(la)機(ji)(ji)是“稀(xi)罕物”的(de)(de)(de)時代相比，中國農(nong)業機(ji)(ji)械化的(de)(de)(de)發展只(zhi)能(neng)用“巨變(bian)”來形(xing)容。
