Hanomag SS/ST 100 Gigant: water-cooled six-cylinder large diesel tractor, 8,553 cc, 100 hp/73.2 kW and 6,420 kg weight, built from the 1930s into the 1950s
The SS/ST series carried its ambition in its name: the Gigant was a large tractor from Hanomag of Hanover, built over a long period from the late 1930s into the early 1950s for the heaviest agricultural and industrial draft work.

The SS/ST 100 Gigant is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine of 8,553 cc, producing 100 hp, or 73.2 kW, at 1,500 rpm. At a weight of 6,420 kg, a length of 5,040 mm, a height of 2,400 mm and a width of 2,460 mm, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, the machine is a true large tractor whose top speed of 45 km/h even allowed for longer transfer drives.
A six-cylinder engine of over 8.5 litres and 100 hp belongs to a completely different world of work from Hanomag's smaller series with one or four cylinders: it was built for the heaviest tillage, pulling large trailed loads over long distances and driving powerful stationary and mobile implements, not for use on small farms.
When buying an SS/ST 100 Gigant, the condition of the radiator, water pump and the numerous coolant hoses of the large six-cylinder engine matters, along with corrosion on the frame, cab and wings. Also worth checking are the clutch and gearbox for wear noises and the brakes; spare parts for this rare large tractor are now only obtainable from specialist collectors and salvage stock.

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.
