Krieger KS series: light agricultural tractors with two-cylinder diesel engines, from the KS 28 A to the KS33A, 28.5 to 33 hp at a kerb weight of 1,195 kg
This page collects the KS series from Krieger, light agricultural tractors with a two-cylinder diesel engine, built for smaller and medium-sized farms as well as for special crops and orchard work. The KS designation on both recorded models, the KS 28 A and the KS33A, marks the same series, with the attached number denoting the power step.

The register lists 2 versions from 28.5 to 33 hp (21 kW) from two-cylinder diesel engines of 1,478 cm³ displacement at 2,300 rpm. Kerb weight is 1,195 kg, length 2,450 mm, width 940 mm and height between 1,850 and 1,900 mm.
Tractors of this size and build were tailored to narrow row spacing and cramped yard conditions such as those found in vineyard, orchard and special-crop work, competing there with the corresponding series from larger manufacturers. Their compact dimensions allowed work between tight rows of trees where wider standard tractors were not manoeuvrable enough, and the two-cylinder diesel gave enough pulling power for tillage implements and small trailers alike.
When buying a used example, check the condition of injection pump and cylinder head, the tightness of clutch and gearbox, wear on steering and front axle, and corrosion on the bodywork and wings, which on these narrow special tractors are often made thinner; spare parts for this rare series are mostly found through collectors and tractor enthusiasts.

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.
