suspended axles from Dana deliver enhanced speed and operator
comfort for compact tractor applications as well as tractors with
increased performance requirements. Dana also offers independent
suspension axles for open-field tractors up to 375 kW (500 hp).
Additionally, Dana has introduced a comprehensive vehicle design

agriculture market, including synchronizers, clutches, and bevel
gear sets. The solutions offer faster synchronization times,
enhanced shifting performance and driver comfort, improved
efficiency, and lower overall transmission weight.
