TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Zetor 6340 features a 10-speed synchro transmission, allowing for smooth gear transitions and efficient power management suited for varying terrain and implement loads. This multi-speed system enhances operational flexibility, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of a synchro transmission may pose challenges in maintenance and require skilled operators for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor 6340 features a synchro gearbox with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing flexibility for various farming tasks and terrain conditions. Its hydraulic 304.8mm cerametallic disc clutch allows for smooth engagement and enhanced durability, making it effective for heavy-duty applications. However, the limited gear range could be a challenge in highly variable field conditions, necessitating careful gear selection for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Zetor 6340 features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 10 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise control in various operational scenarios, such as field work or transportation tasks. The mechanical shuttle design simplifies gear shifting, improving efficiency and responsiveness when changing directions. However, operators may face challenges with smoothness in shifting, especially under load, compared to hydrostatic systems, requiring a more experienced operator for optimal performance.
