VOLVO-BM 2650 or VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005: hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on drive.
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 33% (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: four-wheel drive.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Bolinder-Munktell T 2650” | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Volvo 2005” | EvenEven on PTO independence: every PTO is independent. |
| Which drives on both axles? | 2WDTraktorenlexikon, “Bolinder-Munktell T 2650” | 4WDTraktorenlexikon, “Volvo 2005” | AheadThe VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is available with four-wheel drive; the VOLVO-BM 2650 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources). |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1978–1984 | 1985–1987 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 has 33% more hydraulic flow (15.6 L/min / 4.1 gpm) than the VOLVO-BM 2650 (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is available with four-wheel drive; the VOLVO-BM 2650 is two-wheel drive (as stated by the sources).
- The VOLVO-BM-VALMET Volvo 2005 is newer: production began 7 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
