TRANSMISSION
The Bolinder-Munktell BM-10 features a 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. This gear ratio enhances adaptability in both field and road operations, allowing for better torque management under load conditions. However, the limited reverse gear may challenge maneuverability in tight spaces, necessitating careful operation in confined areas.

MECHANICAL
The Bolinder-Munktell BM-10 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lower operational costs, but may struggle in off-road conditions or on uneven terrain compared to AWD alternatives. Its manual steering introduces a direct driving experience, though it may require more physical effort, particularly in tight maneuvers. With a 5-speed transmission, users can achieve a range of speeds suitable for various tasks, but the manual shift may present a learning curve for inexperienced operators.
