Abstract: International large-scale comprehensive agricultural engineering project involve whole industry chain contents, such as land reclamation, seed selection test, planting system design, agricultural machinery configuration and infrastructure construction．Planting system design and agricultural machinery configuration are key research and control aspects that need to be emphasized during project development and execution．Planting system design is the core of agricultural engineering project．Characteristics of international large-scale agricultural engineering projects was analyzed．Planting system was determined through crop selection, agricultural climate survey, soil condition survey and hydrological condition survey．Agricultural machinery configuration was determined according to planting system．Expert recommendation method was recommended method for selecting agricultural machinery．Work load method and linear programming method were preferred for agricultural machinery quantity allocation．
