It was equipped with a power steering system and a Power Synchron transmission that featured a two-speed power shift capability with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. The tractor operated with a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder John Deere diesel engine with a displacement of 359 cubic inches. It had an 8-speed transmission initially, which was later replaced or supplemented by a 16 forward and 8 reverse gear transmission. The John Deere 3040 had a wheelbase of 100 inches for the 2WD model and 102 inches for the 4WD model, with operational weights of 9175 pounds and 9790 pounds, respectively. A dry air cleaner, direct injection fuel system, and a 12-volt electric starter were all part of the engine's robust design. With an engine oil capacity of 12.2 quarts and a coolant capacity of 25.4 quarts, the 3040 was built for long working hours.
