ENGINE DETAIL
The Bolinder-Munktell 36 features a reliable 3-cylinder, 1053 diesel engine with a displacement of 3.4 L, delivering 41.9 hp at 1800 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. The liquid-cooled engine ensures optimal performance and longevity under load, while a starter voltage of 12 volts provides efficient starting characteristics. Key considerations include its robust power-to-weight ratio for its size, though the 1800 RPM rating may limit its performance in high-speed applications compared to modern machines.

TRANSMISSION
The Bolinder-Munktell 36 features a basic gear transmission with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear, which offers simplicity in operation but may limit speed variation and torque management in demanding conditions. This simplistic design can be advantageous for maintenance and repair, but the lack of further gear options can challenge performance in varied terrain. Ideal for flat agricultural land, it may struggle with steep inclines or heavy loads due to potential loss of traction and power efficiency.

MECHANICAL
The Bolinder-Munktell 36 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides basic traction suitable for light agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain or in adverse conditions compared to 4WD models. Its manual steering enhances mechanical simplicity but may require more physical effort to maneuver, particularly over longer periods. The 5-speed transmission allows for moderate speed range adaptability, making it versatile for various field operations, though it lacks the advanced gearing found in more modern tractors, which could limit performance in specialized tasks.
