The HS 15 is powered by a single-cylinder engine of 1,178 cc, producing 14 hp, or 10.2 kW. At a weight of 1,370 kg, a length of 2,530 mm, a height of 1,550 mm and a width of 1,520 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,500 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
A single-cylinder engine of nearly 1.2 litres was, in the post-war years, a rugged, easily serviced drive for small and medium-sized farms that valued reliability and low upkeep over high revs or smoothness. For a maker of agricultural machinery that had previously focused mainly on implements, such a rugged single-cylinder tractor was a natural entry into tractor building.
When buying an HS 15 secondhand, the condition of the clutch and gearbox and visible corrosion on sheet-metal and frame parts after so many decades matter most. Also worth checking are the crankshaft bearings of the large single-cylinder engine, the brakes and, if fitted, the hydraulic system for mounted implements; spare parts for this rare, low-volume machine are now only available through specialist suppliers or custom manufacture.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
