Volvo – other excavators: the collective page of backhoe loaders outside the named ranges, the BM 6300 and BM 646 with the Volvo BM heritage from Eskilstuna, 66 to 85 kW
This page gathers the Volvo backhoe loaders the register could not assign to a named range: the BM 6300 and BM 646 models. Both carry the BM prefix for Bolinder-Munktell, the Swedish tractor and construction-equipment works in Eskilstuna that belonged to Volvo from the 1950s and whose construction-equipment arm became Volvo Construction Equipment. The range's engine, the TD42, comes from Volvo BM's own production. Bolinder-Munktell itself traces back to two Swedish companies with 19th-century roots that merged in 1932 and later became the core of Volvo's construction-equipment division.

The register lists here 2 versions with 66 to 85 kW, or 90 to 114 hp, from four-cylinder diesel engines.
Backhoe loaders of this design combine a loading bucket and a digging bucket on one chassis and for decades were the all-purpose machine of small and mid-sized construction firms and municipal services in Scandinavia and central Europe, before dedicated wheeled and crawler excavators and wheel loaders took over part of the market. In many northern European countries, backhoe loaders of this design shaped the picture of small building yards for generations, before demand declined from the 1990s and 2000s in favour of specialised machines.
On used backhoe loaders, operating hours and the condition of the engine and transmission, wear on bucket teeth, bushings and hydraulic cylinders, the tightness of the hydraulics, and rust on the frame and attachments all matter; spare parts run through the Volvo Construction Equipment network and independent plant-machinery workshops.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
