Schilling – other models: the collective page with Franz and Hans, small single-cylinder engines of 171 to 247 cm³, 2.9 to 6 kW at 3,000 revolutions per minute, fuel petrol and two-stroke mixture
This page gathers the Schilling machines the register could not assign to a named range: Franz and Hans, two small single-cylinder engines. With outputs of only 2.9 to 6 kW and displacements of 171 to 247 cm³, both models sit well below the class of classic farm tractors and correspond more to motorised small equipment for gardens or smallholdings.

The register lists here 2 versions with 2.9 to 6 kW from a single cylinder of 171 to 247 cm³ at 3,000 revolutions per minute. The fuel is pure petrol on Hans and a two-stroke mixture of petrol and oil on Franz.
Engines of this power and displacement class were used in the first half of the 20th century chiefly in the smallest tractors, motor hoes and similar hand-guided or single-axle implements, with which smaller plots could be worked without needing a full-size, heavier farm tractor.
On such a small machine, the condition and compression of the single cylinder, the state of the carburettor and ignition, on Franz also the correct mixture ratio of the two-stroke fuel, and the condition of the drive belt or chain and corrosion on the sheet-metal body matter most; parts for such small engines of this age can usually only be sourced through collectors and specialists.

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.
- 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.
