TRANSMISSION
The TAFE 4340 features a sliding mesh transmission system, providing robust durability for various agricultural tasks. With 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, it offers versatility in speed management, which is advantageous for both fieldwork and transport. However, the sliding mesh transmission may require more operator skill for smooth gear engagement compared to constant mesh systems, potentially affecting ease of use for less experienced drivers.

TAFE 4340 TIRES
The TAFE 4340's tire specifications indicate a dual tire configuration with a 6.00x16 size at the front and a 12.4x28 size at the rear, optimizing traction and stability for various agricultural applications. The larger rear tires enhance load-carrying capacity and provide better soil compaction, while the smaller front tires facilitate maneuverability in tight fields. However, challenges may arise in terms of tire wear, and proper alignment is crucial to maintain handling performance and prevent uneven wear during operation.
