Hanomag Robust
6 models in this series
Hanomag Robust – heavy standard tractors from Hanover: Robust 800 to 1200, four- and six-cylinder diesels rated 55–81 kW, 3,200–4,870 kg, some with four-wheel drive (A)
The Robust line was Hanomag's heavy standard-tractor programme, built by the Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG through the 1950s and 1960s. Alongside tractors, Hanomag also built trucks and construction machinery in Hanover; in 1971 the group sold its farm-machinery division to Massey Ferguson, which continued production at the site for a few more years. The Robust models from 800 to 1200 are named by ascending frame size, and the A suffix denotes a four-wheel-drive version.

The register lists 6 versions rated at 55 to 81 kW (75 to 110 hp) from four- and six-cylinder diesel engines of 4,712 to 10,179 cm³, torque of 265 to 580 Nm at 1,500 to 2,600 rpm, kerb weights of 3,200 to 4,870 kg, and a length of 3,800 to 4,200 mm, a width of 1,950 to 2,100 mm and a height of 1,910 to 2,550 mm.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Robust tractors ranked among the heavy standard tractors for large German farms and competed with Lanz, Fendt and the big international makes; after Hanomag's independent farm-machinery business ended, its engineering partly lived on in Massey Ferguson models.
On these historic tractors, check engine and injection condition, the clutch and mechanical gearbox, the hydraulics with lift, and corrosion on the wings, bonnet and frame; on the A models, also the transfer case and driveshafts of the four-wheel drive. Spares are now only available through specialist Hanomag parts dealers and vintage farm-machinery markets.
