The 1955 Hanomag R16A Tractor is a representative example of postwar agricultural mechanization in Germany. Hanomag, a German company originally known for its production of steam engines, trucks and automobiles, began producing tractors in the early 20th century. The R16A, produced in the 1950s, was one of their popular tractor models.

These tractors were often powered by reliable diesel engines, which were known for their efficiency and durability. The focus was on reliability and functionality, essential for heavy agricultural work.

In terms of design, Hanomag tractors of the era were robust and functional, with a relatively simple and practical design. They were built to withstand the harsh conditions of farm life, with a focus on usability and ease of maintenance.

This is a well running and driving Hanomag. As it looks everything is functioning. The engine has had an overhaul and new tires. It has very nice patina and possibly still has its first paint.

The 1955 Hanomag R16A Tractor is an interesting piece of agricultural history, illustrating the transition from manual labor to mechanization in agriculture. These tractors play an important role in the modernization of agriculture in the post-war period and are valued by collectors and enthusiasts of historic agricultural vehicles.

We invite you to see all of this in person on viewing day.
