Choose from a reliable 6-speed gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, or opt for the sophisticated Hydraul-Shift transmission. This partial power shift system offers an impressive 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing seamless power transitions for optimal efficiency in any field condition.

The G940 is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system featuring a robust pump flow of 20 GPM (75.7 lpm), ready to power your most demanding implements. When it comes to the hitch, you have options! With a Category I/II rear hitch, and the ability to lift up to 4,000 lbs (1814 kg), or an optional Category III setup capable of a massive 6,000 lbs (2721 kg) lift, this tractor is prepared for serious work.

Built for Control and Comfort

Navigate your fields with confidence thanks to the G940's power steering and differential hydraulic disc brakes, offering precise control and responsive stopping power. Available in both two- and four-wheel drive configurations, and featuring an open operator station with the option for a two-post ROPS or a full cab, this tractor prioritizes both operator comfort and safety, no matter the task.
