Minneapolis-Moline G940: Row-Crop Tractor Overview
The Minneapolis-Moline G940 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1971 and 1973. Designed for versatility in agricultural operations, it features a 102 horsepower engine and was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Performance
The G940 is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Oliver-Waukesha gasoline engine. With a displacement of 310 cubic inches (5.1 liters) and a compression ratio of 8.5:1, the engine delivers its rated power at 2400 RPM. It utilizes a dry-type air cleaner and features a 12-volt starting system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators could choose between a standard 6-speed gear transmission or the Hydraul-Shift partial power shift transmission, which provides 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The Hydraul-Shift system allows for shifting between over-drive, under-drive, and direct-drive ranges while in motion. Power is transferred via a 330mm cerametallic disc clutch.

The tractor is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system providing a pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm). The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, catering to a wide array of implements. The rear hitch is compatible with Category I/II or optional Category II/III equipment, offering a lift capacity of up to 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg) depending on the configuration.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor features an open operator station with optional two-post ROPS or a cab. Maneuverability is facilitated by power steering and differential hydraulic disc brakes. The 2WD model has a wheelbase of 103 inches (261 cm), while the 4WD version measures 86.25 inches (219 cm). The total weight of the unit is approximately 11,150 lbs (5,057 kg).
