Heinrich Lanz HN 5 – the single-cylinder Bulldogs D 3500, D 3506 and D 3506 A from Mannheim: 4.8 litres displacement, 760 rpm, multi-fuel operation
The HN 5 belongs to the classic Lanz Bulldog ranges from Mannheim, where Heinrich Lanz built farm machinery from 1859 and, from 1921, the Bulldog with its characteristic single-cylinder two-stroke hot-bulb engine. The types listed here, the D 3500, D 3506 and D 3506 A, share the large horizontal single-cylinder of 4,767 cm³ displacement and the low speed typical of the Bulldog.

The register lists here 3 versions with 12.4 to 14.6 kW from the uniform single-cylinder of 4,767 cm³ displacement at a uniform rated speed of 760 rpm. Unladen weights range from 1,850 to 2,140 kg, lengths from 2,540 to 2,840 mm, widths from 1,416 to 1,505 mm and heights from 1,950 to 2,055 mm; all versions run on multiple fuels.
The Bulldog's multi-fuel engine could burn crude oil, tar oil and other cheap fuels besides diesel, which made it attractive to farmers in times of scarce and expensive fuel; the HN 5 thus stood in the post-war years for simple, robust drive technology on mid-size farms.
On a used example, the condition of the hot bulb and cylinder liner, tightness of the cooling, condition of the large flywheel and the starting crank, and rust on mudguards and bonnet count; parts for the single-cylinder Bulldog engine are available through specialist Lanz Bulldog mechanics and vintage-machinery dealers.

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.
