5 models in this series

The C series from Hanomag comprises 5 models. Rated output ranges from 12 to 24 hp.

Hanomag C112 to C224 – the small standard tractors from Hanover: the first digit as range generation, single- and twin-cylinder diesels, 8.8 to 18 kW, 800 to 1,375 kg service weight

Hanomag, the Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG, built the smaller 'C' range alongside its better-known R16 and R19 models as simple standard tractors for smaller farms and specialty crops. The type designation combines the letter C with a three-digit number whose first digit marks the range's generation – the ones (C112, C115) are the lightest, the twos (C218, C220, C224) a somewhat stronger version; the 'Greif' name suffix on the C115 denotes a particular equipment variant. The small models are driven by single-cylinder, the larger by twin-cylinder diesel engines.

The register lists 5 versions with engines of 511 to 1,021 cm³, outputs of 8.8 to 18 kW and rated speeds of 1,750 to 2,350 rpm. Service weights range from 800 to 1,375 kg, lengths from 2,700 to 3,100 mm, widths from 1,450 to 1,600 mm.

The C range occupied the lower market segment in the 1950s alongside Hanomag's larger tractors, in direct competition with the small tractors of Fendt, Eicher and Holder, which in the same decade drove the mechanisation of smaller farms. With the sale of Hanomag's tractor division to Massey Ferguson in 1971, the independent range ended.

On used tractors, operating hours, the condition of injection pump and piston rings on the often air-cooled engines, clutch and gearbox, rust on sheet-metal parts, and linkage and PTO count; spare parts for the small Hanomag models are scarce and run almost exclusively through vintage-tractor specialists.
