Introduction
Lanz D1500: Technical Specifications and Overview
The Lanz D1500 is a classic agricultural tractor produced by Lanz in Mannheim, Germany, between 1938 and 1944. Designed for the agricultural requirements of its era, this machine represents a significant period of German mechanical engineering.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 10.3 liters (628.5 cubic inches) and a bore and stroke of 225 x 260 mm, the engine produces 53.9 horsepower (40.2 kW) at a rated speed of 750 RPM. This large-displacement, low-speed engine configuration is characteristic of the period's focus on high-torque delivery for heavy draft work.
Transmission and Drive
The D1500 utilizes a mechanical gear transmission system providing three forward speeds and one reverse gear. Power is delivered to the ground via a two-wheel drive (2WD) system, which was the standard configuration for tractors of this class and time period.
Conclusion
The Lanz D1500 is a heavy-duty, single-cylinder tractor suited for traditional agricultural operations. Its robust construction and specific engine architecture make it a notable example of mid-20th-century German tractor design, primarily sought after today by collectors and enthusiasts of historical agricultural machinery.
