Volvo BM

The BM Volvo T 600 was introduced in 1967 as the successor to the Boxer 350. It featured a Volvo 3-cylinder engine that had been increased and strengthened to 3.8 liters, with a power output of 62 hp (66 hp SAE). The transmission was similar to its predecessor's. It had 10+2 gears and a clutch diameter of 13 inches.

Its appearance was modern and angular, similar to the larger T 800. Initially, the cab was a basic Klippan model, but the later Klippan was quiet for its time and had a large window area.

The Terra-Trol hydraulic system had been improved. The hydraulic flow was 40.5 liters per minute, but the 15-liter oil capacity was insufficient for long use. Despite extended lift arms, the lift height of the lift unit was unusually low, and there was no standard mounting bracket for front weights.

BM Volvo T 600

At the beginning of 1979, the 2600 series, which replaced the 800 series, focused especially on comfort. The new Volvo own cabin was equipped with air conditioning, and many functions were implemented electrically or hydraulically. The quick shift was now standard, but the non-synchronized transmission was becoming seriously outdated technology. In Finland, only the turbo model 2650/2654 (140 hp) was sold. The successor to the T 800, the 2600 (106 hp), was intended only for developing countries, and a parallel model with its cabin, the 2650S, was sold only in Sweden. The 2650S came about when exports to Arab countries dried up and the 2600 remained unsold. The S models lacked the quick shift, and the engagement of the PTO and the differential lock were mechanical.

The T 500 was replaced by the renewed 2200-series models at the end of 1978. Now, two power classes were available: 56 and 68 hp. Also new was a four-wheel-drive model, which featured a Japanese Kimco front axle. The four-wheel drive was engaged electro-hydraulically. The cab was similar to that of the T 500, the engine was Perkins, and the transmission and rear axle were from International. The gearbox was synchronized except for the range selector, and the layout of the gear lever was British-style, i.e., positioned on the left side. The 11" clutch in the 2200 had 4 sintered friction plates, while the 2250 had six. The brakes now had oil separate from the hydraulic fluid, which reduced previous problems. Draft sensing was done through the draft arms. Surprisingly, in a test of 10 tractors by the Swedish National Machinery Testing Institute, the heater of the 2250 was the weakest performer in the test.

The Iso BM Volvo T 800 was introduced in 1966 as the successor to the Bison 470. When it came to market, it had a very modern appearance. The T 800's engine was a new 5.1-liter six-cylinder with a power output of 94 hp. The T 800 was equipped with a 14" clutch, drawbar sensing, power take-off, and alternator. The cabin was manufactured by Hara and was nowhere near as good as the later one in the T 650.

The turbo model T 810 and its four-wheel-drive version T 814 were introduced in 1969. They had 113 hp. Power was increased in 1972 (various versions of power ratings have been reported in different sources). In 1975, the engine grew to 5.5 liters and power increased to 106 and 136 hp. An overdrive gear later became an optional extra for the rear-wheel-drive models. The front axle of the T 814 came from Volvo’s four-wheel-drive loaders.

In the summer of 1970, the T 600 was replaced by the improved T 650 in many respects. The engine was a new 4-cylinder 4.2-liter unit with 73 horsepower (a couple of years later, the power was increased to 78 hp). The hydraulics were more efficient than before, and the steering was hydrostatic. The biggest innovation, however, was the advanced, thin-sheet metal construction and quiet cabin, which was a completely separate unit from the rest of the tractor. The quick gear shift was initially a standard feature and later, after the T 600 was discontinued, it became an optional extra. Other standard features included telescopic hitch ends, adjustable steering wheel tilt, and power take-off. The T 650 was at the time a very heavy tractor, nearly 4000 kg.

The brand name changed from BM Volvo to Volvo BM in 1973. In the spring of 1975, the Terra Trol II hydraulics with hitch sensing was introduced.

In the spring of 1976, a turbo version of the T 650 was introduced, named the T 700. The transmission was also strengthened to handle 90 hp, and lifting capacity was increased (also for the T 650). A four-wheel drive model never came to be, and production of the T 650 and T 700 ended in 1982. A total of just over 30,000 of these tractors were made.

There was a fairly large gap between the T 430 and the T 650, which was filled in the spring of 1974 by the T 500 model. The new model featured an International transmission and a Perkins 3860 cm³ engine with an output of 61 hp. The gearbox was IH’s synchronized 8+4, and the gear levers were also on the left side, following IH’s design. The TracTrol quick shift was an optional extra. The cab was similar in design to the box-structure type of the T 650 and ergonomically top-notch for its time. Notable technical features included hydrostatic steering, push-rod sensing, a 12” single-plate clutch, and adjustment of the right lift arm from the cab.

The 42.5-horsepower BM Volvo Buster was updated in 1969 to the T 430 model. The Perkins 3-cylinder engine remained unchanged, but the appearance was angular like the larger T 600 and T 800 models. The hydraulics, independent of the driving clutch, were more powerful than before, and a new hydraulic quick-shift, Trac Trol, was available as an option. The engine power was increased to 44.5 horsepower in 1972. The front axle of the T430 was 40% stronger than that of the Buster, and in addition, there was also a Special model of the T 430 equipped with a stronger, adjustable front axle. The cabin was made by Fernmo and was considerably more basic than other Volvos.
