TRANSMISSION
The John Deere 6140D features a partially synchronized transmission with John Deere Power Reverser, providing 9 forward and reverse speeds, which enhances operational flexibility for various tasks. The hydraulic wet disc clutch allows for smooth gear transitions under load; however, range shifts require a complete stop and clutch engagement, which may slow down operations in dynamic field conditions. With an oil capacity of 61.2 quarts, regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.
| Transmission | John Deere Power Reverser |
| Type | partially synchronized with power shuttle |
| Gears | 9 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | hydraulic wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 61.2qts / 57.9L |
| Description | Three gears (1-3) in each of three ranges (A-C) plus left-hand reverser. Forward reverse powershift. Synchronized shift between gears with clutch. Shifts between ranges are unsynchronized: the tractor must be stopped and clutch used to shift range |

MECHANICAL
The John Deere 6140D features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction on uneven terrain which is advantageous for tasks requiring high stability, such as tilling or plowing. Its hydrostatic power steering provides ease of maneuverability, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. The partially synchronized 9-speed transmission with a power shuttle allows for smooth gear shifting, making it suitable for varied agricultural applications, but may require more maintenance compared to fully synchronized systems.
