The large Lanz D 1506, introduced in 1937, received its successor only in 1954-55, when the new HR models were launched. These models also featured an engine that started on gasoline. First, 48- and 58-horsepower models were introduced, but these were replaced less than a year later by 50- and 60-horsepower versions. The engine was a single-cylinder 7.4-liter half-diesel. The idle speed was 300 rpm, and the maximum power was achieved at 650…800 rpm. There were 6+2 gears, and the drive clutch was a dry 2-plate clutch. The versions with model numbers in the 16 range, intended mainly for the German market, featured crawling gears and a power take-off independent of the drive clutch.

From the summer of 1958 onward, Lanz tractors were painted John Deere green. The models D 5016 and D 6016 were the last ones produced, with production ending in 1962 after 219,253 tractors had been manufactured.
