Hanomag Brillant – Standalone Series of the 1960s: four- and six-cylinder diesels with 37 to 55 kW (50 to 75 hp), 2,798 to 4,252 cm³ displacement, water-cooled
The Brillant series replaced part of Hanomag's older R series in the early 1960s and was built until 1971, documented in the register from 1962 to 1970. Output of the recorded models ranges from 37 to 55 kW, with models rated in horsepower from 50 to 75 hp, using four- and six-cylinder engines with displacement from 2,798 to 4,252 cm³.

Recorded operating weight runs from 2,520 to 3,730 kg, wheelbase from 2,104 to 2,510 mm, and top speed of the listed models spans 18.8 to 20 km/h. The model designations 600, 601, 700 and 701 denoted different power levels within the series.
The Brillant series was one of Hanomag's last standalone lines before the agricultural machinery business passed to Massey Ferguson in 1971. For a used model, the exact engine matters most, as four- and six-cylinder versions were offered in parallel within the series.
With a power range up to 55 kW, the Brillant series sat at the upper edge of the class intended for three-point category I under ISO 730; the most powerful six-cylinder models already approached category II. At Hanomag, the PTO at this time still mostly ran single-speed at 540 rpm. As the Hanomag tractor brand has not existed since 1971, original parts for the Brillant series are scarce and are mainly sourced through specialist vintage-machinery dealers and reproduction parts.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
