TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SD4340 features a sophisticated 24 forward and 8 reverse gear system, allowing for precise speed control across various terrains, albeit requiring the operator to stop and utilize the dry disc clutch for shifts. Its 37-quart oil capacity indicates robust lubrication needs, essential for maintaining optimal performance during prolonged operation. The availability of an additional creeper range presents an advantage for tasks requiring slow, controlled movement, although this system may challenge operators who prefer seamless gear transitions.

| Gears | 24 forward and 8 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 37qts / 35.0L |
| Description | Three gears, plus reverse, in four ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gears and range. Additional creeper range doubles the number of available speeds. |
SPEEDS
| Description | With 12.4/11-28 rear tires. Creeper speeds are 13% of standard speeds./ |
MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SD4340 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing enhanced traction for diverse terrain, suitable for agricultural tasks. Its mechanical rear differential lock ensures improved performance during challenging conditions, while the 24-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed management. However, the open operator station may expose the operator to environmental conditions, potentially impacting comfort and safety unless equipped with a ROPS and canopy.
