The Volvo 20 range – Swedish small tractors from Volvo BM of Eskilstuna: the T 24 and T-25, four-cylinder, 21 to 22.8 kW (27.5 to 31 hp)
The 20 range brings together two early small tractors from Volvo's plant in Eskilstuna, which as Bolinder-Munktell (Volvo BM) was among Sweden's most traditional farm-machinery makers. The T 24 and T-25 carry the brand's terse T type logic and differ mainly in fuel type: one model ran on paraffin (kerosene), the other on petrol – a split typical of early tractors before the diesel engine took over.

The register lists 2 versions with 21 to 22.8 kW (27.5 to 31 hp) from four-cylinder engines of 2,146 cm³, unladen weights of 1,569 to 1,589 kg, a length of 2,950 mm, widths of 1,300 to 1,640 mm, a height of 1,925 mm and a rated speed of 2,000 rpm.
Volvo BM shaped Swedish farm technology for decades, supplying mainly small and medium-sized Scandinavian farms; in its early production years, the 20 class occupied the light entry segment, before the brand moved into higher classes with larger, more powerful ranges, and its blue livery became a recognisable mark of this era of Swedish agriculture.
On used examples, the condition of the carburettor or vaporiser, the tightness of the cooling system, the state of clutch and gearbox, and rust on sheet-metal parts and mudguards all count; spare parts for these early types are scarce and run mostly through collectors and vintage-tractor specialists familiar with both fuel variants.
