The Kramer 514 belongs to the 14er-Reihe series. Production: 3/1970–3/1973. The engine delivers 50 hp, has 3 cylinders, with a displacement of 2,826 cm³. Rated speed is 2,300 rpm. The machine is 3,470 mm long, 1,550 mm wide and 1,600 mm high. The unladen weight is 2,190 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,000 mm. Top speed is 20 km/h. The tank holds 64 litres. The engine is air-cooled. Tyres: front 6.00-16, 4WD 7.50-18, rear 11-28, 4WD 11-28. The fuel is diesel. Construction: frameless unit construction. The linkage is category I. The 14er-Reihe series covers 6 models. Rated output within it ranges from 30 to 115 hp; the 514 sits in the lower part of that range with 50 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 414 below it with 42 hp and the 714 above it with 64 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 1,850 to 6,000 kg; here the 514 sits at the bottom of that range with 2,190 kg. 137 Kramer models across 20 series are on record.

Kramer 14 series: the last tractor generation before 1973 – two- to six-cylinder diesels with 31 to 85 kW (30 to 115 hp), 2,826 to 5,655 cm³ displacement, air-cooled

The 14 series was Kramer's final tractor development before the company fully stopped tractor building in 1973 in favour of construction machinery. It bundles the most powerful tractors Kramer ever built.

The register lists 6 live models, from the 314 to the 1214, built between 1970 and 1973. Output ranges from 31 to 85 kW, or 30 to 115 hp, weight from 1,850 to 6,000 kg, displacement from 2,826 to 5,655 cm3, across two- to six-cylinder engines.

Reaching up to 115 hp with six-cylinder engines, Kramer entered a power class it had never previously offered, just before exiting tractor production — a late but clear step upward.

Because of the short three-year production run, 14-series models rank among the rarer Kramer tractors held by collectors and museums today.

The 14 series' air-cooled engines needed no radiator, water pump or antifreeze; this simplified maintenance and winter operation but required a clean fan shroud. With outputs up to 85 kW, the three-point hitch ranged from category I on the smaller types to category II under ISO 730 on the most powerful six-cylinder models. Parts for this late Kramer generation are scarce today and mainly circulate among specialist collectors and vintage-machinery dealers. Anyone searching the collector market should therefore expect a longer wait for spare parts.

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.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
