Abstract This paper is devoted to studying some systems of quadratic differential and integral equations with Hadamard-type fractional order integral operators. We concentrate on general growth conditions for functions generating right-hand side of considered systems, which leads to the study of Hadamard-type fractional operators on Orlicz spaces. Thus we need to prove some properties of such type of operators. In contrast to the case of Caputo or Riemann–Liouville type of fractional operators, it is not a convolution-type operator, so we need to study some of their new properties. Some more general problems than systems of quadratic integral equations are also studied, and the results are new even in the context of a single integral equation with the Hadamard fractional operator. The paper concludes with illustrative examples.
