Don’t abuse the diff lock. The earlier 9 series differentials were a weak point. B should he ok. If equipped emissions can need updating at the dealer level.
We currently have a 946C and its my favorite to operate. Sadly they don’t make them anymore.

Volvo B series is going to compare to Cat M series age wise. They aren’t without their own problems. They all have issues.
Volvo’s have been discontinued though so that’s a factor.

We’ve had several Volvo’s 9 series now and most of the problems were with the earlier ones. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another if it was a deal.

I would really consider the lack of future product support. They're done building them and from what I've seen there's no real commitment to future product support. I run several old champions and really like them, but the dealings I've had with Volvo would keep me from going down that road if it was a machine I had any real dependence on.
