We suggest a procedure for the construction of Baxter Q-operators for the T
oda chain. Apart from the one-parametric family of Q-operators, considered
in our recent paper (Pronko 2000 Commun. Math. Phys. to appear) we also giv
e the method of construction of two basic Q-operators and the derivation of
the functional relations for these operators. Also we have found the relat
ion of the basic Q-operators with Bloch solutions of the quantum linear pro
blem.
