Summary:

This paper presents results of research on transportation infrastructure (line and spot) of the examined farms within the context of farm owner's age. Farm size expressed in ha of farming area decreases noticeably from 35.63 to 20.34 along with an increase in farmer's age. Equipment in transportation means expressed in pieces per farm, varies from 2.23 (youngest) to 1.95 (oldest), with the average of 2.23. This, fact, in combination with farm size, may prove better work efficiency resulting from selection of proper means and better work organization or increased use of transportation services. In internal transportation, with the average distance of 2.91, there is a favourable decreasing tendency along with an increase in farmer's age. With a considerable average of 15,25 km for external transportation, there is a visible decrease along with an increase in farmer's age. The average allotment size and diversification of averages for each group (from 0.09 to 14.00 ha) is characteristic. The size of farmyard which allows for non-collision operation of a given transportation means show that in circa 30% non-collision turning back manoeuvre is possible. The most favourable condition in regard to this aspect occur for group B. Other elements of infrastructure, such as the width of entrance and load capacity of culvert do not pose any limitations on use of modern transportation means
