BELARUS 9345 ENGINE
The Belarus 9345 tractor features a robust 4.7L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing ample torque for heavy-duty applications. Its mechanical transmission offers durability but may lack the smoothness of modern hydrostatic systems, potentially leading to operator fatigue over long hours. Ideal for farming tasks in rugged fields, this model presents a balance of power and simplicity, though maintenance and fuel efficiency should be monitored closely to maximize operational economy.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Belarus 9345 tractor features a 14-speed partially synchronized transmission combined with a 9-speed synchromesh shuttle, allowing for smooth gear transitions and improved control in varying field conditions. The synchromesh shuttle enhances productivity by facilitating quicker directional changes without the need to clutch, which is advantageous in tight scenarios such as loader work or turning in confined spaces. However, maintenance of the transmission system requires careful attention due to its complexity, highlighting the need for skilled operators and technicians.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Belarus 9345 features a partially synchronized gearbox with 14 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for versatility in various agricultural tasks. While synchronization in gears 3-7 enhances shifting efficiency, the lack of synchronization in lower ranges could pose challenges in delicate operations or steep terrains, potentially affecting productivity. The dry disc clutch requires regular maintenance, and with an oil capacity of 42 quarts, ensuring proper lubrication is critical to prevent overheating and extend the tractor's lifespan.
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 14 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 42qts / 39.7L |
| Description | Seven gears (1-7) in two ranges (low/high). Synchronized shifting in gears three to seven. Lower gear, range, and shuttle shifting is not synchronized |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Belarus 9345 features a synchromesh shuttle transmission, providing smooth transition between forward and reverse directions, which enhances operator control during field operations. Its 9 forward and 8 reverse gears allow for versatile speed selection, making it suitable for various tasks, from plowing to transport. However, the complexity of the transmission may pose maintenance challenges compared to simpler gear systems.
| Type | synchromesh shuttle |
| Gears | 9 forward and 8 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Belarus 9345 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD system which enhances traction and stability, making it well-suited for diverse agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic power steering and standard differential lock provide improved maneuverability and traction, essential for operations on uneven terrain. However, the 14-speed partially synchronized transmission may present challenges in quickly switching gears under heavy load, necessitating operator skill for optimal performance.

BELARUS 9345 TIRES
The Belarus 9345 tractor features a robust tire configuration with 360/70R24 Ag front tires providing enhanced maneuverability and traction in tight spaces, while the 18.4x38 Ag rear tires offer substantial stability and load-carrying capacity for heavy-duty applications. The combination of these tire sizes allows for effective weight distribution, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks such as plowing and tilling. However, operators should note that the tractor's performance may be limited on softer terrains due to the width variation between front and rear tires, potentially leading to increased soil compaction.
