Management agricultural machinery agency in 2017 became a brigade institution. There are two types of facilitation for agricultural machinery: for a large amount of pre-harvest and harvest but the utilization is only piled up on certain types of agricultural machinery. Purpose: Analyze utilization and management agricultural machinery to farming rice.

Informant: Chairperson, manager and operator. The research is qualitative descriptive evaluation. Method of collecting data: (i) in-depth interview; and (ii) forum group discussion. Data analysis with qualitative descriptive. Result: Pre-harvest of agricultural machinery utilization: two-wheel tractor, four-wheel tractor and water pump. Two-wheeled tractors are always used while the four-wheeled tractor is limited to land with wide plots with flat land conditions. For agricultural machinery harvest: Big Combine Harvester, power thresher, while agricultural machinery that has not been used optimally even has not been used trans planter, hand sprayer, medium combine harvester and small, multipurpose power charger and push thresher power. the best management of agricultural machinery is at the military district command with the lending process escorted since at the group level by the Village commissioner, then to the military rayon command, only to be delivered to the military district command. Loaning is done by filling in the blank, borrowing time as needed and can be extended. Borrowers bear the costs of transportation. Agricultural machinery must be clean and not damaged when borrowed and returned. Conclusion: Stack of agricultural machinery on two-wheeled tractors and Big combine harvester for rice farming. Other agricultural machinery has not been widely used because it cannot be operational is not in accordance with agroecological conditions.},
