BOLINDER-MUNKTELL 30-40 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Bolinder-Munktell 30-40 features a robust 14.4 L displacement, generating 40 hp at a low rated RPM of 550, making it well-suited for heavy-duty tasks with high torque output. Its liquid-cooled system and substantial coolant capacity of 401.5 quarts ensure efficient thermal management, which is crucial for prolonged operation in demanding environments. However, the use of natural kerosene as fuel may limit fuel availability and increase operational costs in some regions, necessitating careful consideration for potential users.

TRANSMISSION
The Bolinder-Munktell 30-40 tractor features a simple [-|-] gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse, making it suitable for basic agricultural tasks. This transmission design allows for straightforward operation, though it may lack the versatility and efficiency of modern multi-speed gearboxes. Ideal for small farms or vintage machinery collectors, this tractor excels in ease of maintenance but could face challenges in demanding terrains due to limited gear options.

MECHANICAL
The Bolinder-Munktell 30-40 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing basic traction suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks, but potentially limiting performance on uneven or muddy terrain. Its open operator station with a canopy enhances operator visibility and comfort in mild weather, yet offers minimal protection in adverse conditions. The 3-speed gear transmission allows for straightforward operation, but it may restrict speed versatility and require frequent gear shifts for varied field conditions.
