The article provides an overview of different types of technical means for loading bales of silage. Using the program for simulation of the forage harvesting process, computer calculations were made of the comparative efficiency of the operation of loaders of rolls of various types at a rate of haylage harvesting from 100 to 650 tons per shift (10 hours). It has been established that, according to the criterion of unit total costs at a low rate of haylage harvesting - from 100 to 300 tons per shift - loading units with a front loader mounted on a tractor are more efficient. At a higher rate of forage harvesting, it is more efficient to use self-propelled loaders. With an equal unit total cost of funds, self-propelled loaders provide 1.5-2.0 times less labor costs.
