The methodology for determining of the reliability parameters of peat machines that do not have sufficient statistical data on operation has been proposed. The proposed approach will permit to determine the change of the technical status of a wide range of peat machines for the milling method of extraction. It will enable peat enterprises to operate taking into account their individual condition and plans for the peat production, and will permit to carry out the major repairs of technological equipment in the autumn-winter period without decreasing the works productivity in the mining season. For peat machines that do not have enough statistical data to analyze their operation, one can use the generalized data on similar peat machines to obtain approximate dependencies which permit to predict changes in the technical state of the equipment under study with some accuracy. With an increase of statistical data amount, it is proposed to use the coefficient method using operational data. It permits to improve the quality of forecasting and as a result to reduce the number of downtime due to failures and to increase the seasonal productivity of peat machines.
