Hanomag was the largest tractor manufacturer in Germany in 1954. Many farmers bought their new 2-stroke Diesel tractors R12 (12 hp) and R24 (24 hp) because they were all-new and cheap and all-pupose. The supercharged engine had almost no torque and was oil slobbering all the time. And it didn't sound like farmers expect a strong tractor should sound.
So Hanomag sales decreased heavily. They switched back over to their well-known 4-stroke engines in 1957, but it was too late. Many farmers had already bought smooth and powerful running McCormicks, Fendts, Massey Fergusons and so on.
Hanomag made tractors until 1969. The last Hanomag tractors were powerful high quality tractors, but they were not as cheap as foreign makes. So Hanomag switched over to produce crawlers, small trucks, loaders and other heavy construction machinery. In the 1990s, Hanomag was bought by Komatsu.
