TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 1140 features an 8-speed collar shift transmission for straightforward operation and a 16-speed two-speed power shift for enhanced versatility and smoother gear transitions in variable terrain. The collar shift provides simplicity and reliability for routine tasks, while the power shift is advantageous for high-demand applications requiring rapid speed changes without clutching. However, the complexity of the two-speed power shift may introduce additional maintenance requirements over time.

JOHN DEERE 1140 TIRES
The John Deere 1140 tractor features standard agricultural tires that optimize traction and stability in both 2WD and 4WD configurations; however, the front tire sizing varies significantly, influencing handling dynamics. The 2WD with 7.50-16 front tires offers improved fuel efficiency on hard surfaces, while the 4WD version (11.2-24 front tires) enhances traction in off-road or muddy conditions, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks. Potential challenges include increased wear on the 4WD tires in high-dry conditions and maintenance costs, which should be considered based on operational needs.
