Abstract: As the green agricultural economy develops, the application of green agricultural machinery has attracted much attention. At present, agricultural machinery technology is still in its infancy, yet low carbon and intelligent agricultural machinery is the development trend in the future. This research focuses on analyzing the key links in the development of low carbon agricultural machinery in China. The phased characteristics and development direction of low carbon agricultural machinery are described from the aspects of the development history of China's agricultural machinery, the development status of low carbon agricultural machinery, innovation of low carbon core technology of agricultural machinery, application and promotion of low carbon agricultural machinery. Then some suggestions on the future development of low carbon agricultural machinery technology and its application in the market are put forward. It is pointed out that innovation-driven, market-driven and policy-driven approaches should be taken to improve the rapid and high-quality development of low-carbon agricultural machinery, promote the optimization and upgrading of agricultural industrial structure, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and equipment, and build a green agricultural economic system, so as to boost the green transformation of China's agricultural economy and smooth achievement of the "dual carbon" target.
