Info
The larger combine harvester alongside the Aktiv 800 was the Aktiv 1000, introduced in 1967. It was a combine harvester with a cutting width of 9 1/4 feet and was structurally mainly a widened version of the 800: it had four threshing drums instead of three, but its length was roughly the same as its smaller brother. The engine was a 4-cylinder Perkins (60 hp SAE). In 1969, the brand changed to BM Volvo as the Swedish combine harvester industry ended up under a single ownership. The history is somewhat complicated by the fact that Volvo had already previously had a combine harvester model called S1000, which was inherited from Munktell.

The data has been collected primarily from brochures. In some cases, sources contain conflicting information. In such cases, we have attempted to select the most reliable information.
There is particularly significant variation in speed data, which varies depending on factors such as tire size. For tires, only the size most commonly used in Finland is listed.
Other changes during the model history have been addressed in the text section. For the front axle lock, the Finnish term "hammaslukko" (gear lock) is used for all 100% locks.
