MONTANA 4940 ENGINE

The Montana 4940 tractor is equipped with a Mitsubishi 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and efficiency for various agricultural tasks. With a cab fuel tank capacity of 13.5 gallons (51.1 liters) and a ROPS fuel tank of 15.9 gallons (60.2 liters), operators can expect extended operational time between refueling, which is advantageous for larger fields. However, the relatively small engine displacement may limit its capability in heavy-duty applications, making it best suited for moderate tasks such as tilling or light hauling in small to medium-sized farms.

TRANSMISSION

The Montana 4940 tractor features a sync shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless forward-to-reverse shifts without needing to stop, enhancing operational efficiency in tasks requiring frequent directional changes. With a total of 16 gears (16 forward and reverse), this configuration provides versatility in speed selection, making it suitable for various applications, from heavy tillage to transport. However, operators need to ensure proper synchronization to prevent potential damage during rapid gear changes.
