TRANSMISSION

The John Deere 3640 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, offering 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, which allows for versatility in various operational scenarios. The high-low power shift mechanism enhances efficiency by minimizing the need for clutch engagement, while the hydraulic cerametallic dry disc clutch improves durability but may require careful management to prevent overheating during extended use. With an oil capacity of 44.4 quarts, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.

JOHN DEERE 3640 TIRES

The John Deere 3640 tractor offers versatile tire options ranging from 12.4-28 to 16.9-24 in the front and 16.9-38 to 18.4-38 in the rear, enabling customized traction and flotation depending on soil conditions. A wider rear tire configuration, like the 18.4-38, improves stability and reduces soil compaction, which is advantageous for use in softer, wetter fields. However, narrower front tires may challenge steering and maneuverability in tight spaces, necessitating careful selection based on operational requirements.
