Volvo – other models: tractors from the Bolinder-Munktell lineage named Krabat, Buster, Bison and Boxer, 13.4 to 103 kW, diesel, petrol and paraffin engines
This collective page gathers Volvo tractors outside the named series. Their roots lie with Bolinder-Munktell, the Swedish manufacturer that presented one of the first tractors built in Sweden in 1913; Volvo acquired a majority stake in Bolinder-Munktell in 1950, and from 1973 the tractors were sold under the Volvo BM brand. The T series (T-21 to T-800) additionally carried its own model names, such as T-25 Krabat, T-400 Buster, T-470 Bison and T-600 Boxer.

The register lists 44 versions from 13.4 to 103 kW and 18.7 to 140 hp with two- to six-cylinder engines of 1,414 to 5,483 cm³. Unladen weights range from 1,100 to 7,500 kg, lengths from 2,510 to 4,650 mm and widths from 1,300 to 2,330 mm, with torque from 97 to 485 Nm. Alongside diesel engines, older models also used petrol and paraffin units.
Volvo BM ranked among the leading tractor brands in Scandinavia and competed directly with Massey Ferguson, International Harvester and Fordson there. The later agricultural division became part of Valmet in the 1980s, and Volvo's stake eventually passed to Valtra, while the Volvo name lives on today in trucks and construction equipment.
When buying older petrol and paraffin models, check the carburettor and pre-heating system; on diesel models, check the injection pump and cooling system. Rust on wings and gearbox housings is common on Scandinavian post-war tractors, and engine spares are supplied by specialists in classic Volvo BM and Bolinder-Munktell technology.
