Over the years 2009-2012 the study with the use of direct interview method was conducted in 22 farms from wielkopolskie and zachodniopomorskie provinces, located in districts: pilski, czarnkowsko-trzcianecki and wałecki, farming in sustainable and organic system. Surveyed farms were chosen from group of farms implementing the investments with the support of investment credits and subsidized by the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARMA) assuming in perspective an enlargement of area of agricultural land. In farm groups qualified to the mentioned systems a diversified intensification of production and diverse equipment of the tractors and farm machinery, including specialized machinery to work on permanent grassland (PG) were shown. The area of agricultural lands of surveyed farms was significantly diversified, from 14.3 to 169.9 ha in sustainable system and from 25.3 to 138.4 ha in organic system. Majority of sustainable farms do not have specialized equipment designed to work on PG, but they have adequate equipment for cultivation of cereals and rape. Machinery equipment of organic farms was worse, but they had much better equipment in specialized machinery to work on PG. Most sustainable farms had two or four tractors, thus exceeding their needs in terms of power saturation.
