CLAAS AXOS 340 C POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Claas Axos 340 C features a robust Perkins 1104D-44TA engine, delivering 102 hp at 2200 RPM and peak torque of 302.4 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, which suggests strong low-end torque for heavy-draft applications. With a displacement of 4.4L and Tier 3 emissions compliance, it strikes a balance between power and environmental regulations, although newer Tier 4 solutions may offer better emissions performance. Regular oil changes every 500 hours can enhance engine longevity, but operators should consider higher maintenance intervals typical in turbocharged engines to mitigate potential oil degradation.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Claas Axos 340 C features a 10-speed synchronized forward and 20-speed synchronized reverse transmission, allowing for enhanced control in maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces. This dual transmission system provides operators with optimal speed variations for different tasks, improving efficiency during fieldwork and transport. However, the complexity of a 20-speed reverse may require a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems, potentially affecting productivity during initial usage.
