Hanomag WD – agricultural tractors from Hanover with four-cylinder engines of 4,252 to 5,700 cc, multi-fuel and petrol versions, 19 to 26 kW
The Hanomag WD range, like the brand's other agricultural tractors, came from the Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG plant in Hanover. The register lists the WD Kleinpflug here, along with the types WD R 26 and WD R 28/32, which differ in engine size and chassis layout. A notable feature of the range is its drivetrain technology: alongside straightforward petrol engines, Hanomag also fitted the WD range with multi-fuel engines that could run on different fuels, a practical advantage during the post-war period of scarce and fluctuating fuel supply.

The register lists 3 versions here with 19 to 26 kW from four-cylinder engines of 4,252 to 5,700 cc, kerb weights of 1,950 to 3,200 kg, a length of 3,130 mm, a width of 1,600 mm and a height of 1,500 mm; two of the engines are of multi-fuel design, one is petrol.
The WD range covered the middle power segment in West Germany's post-war farming, and with its robust technology geared towards fuel flexibility it competed with Deutz and Lanz tractors of the same class found on farms at the same time.
When buying a used WD model, the key points are the condition and tightness of the particular engine, as the multi-fuel and petrol versions bring different carburettor or ignition technology, plus the condition of clutch and gearbox, steering and front axle, and corrosion on the chassis and panels; spare parts are now only stocked by dealers specialising in vintage machinery.

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.
