Krieger KT 52 to KT 75 A – a small range of standard tractors: the number in the name follows the engine's horsepower class, A as an upgrade stage, three- to four-cylinder diesels of 3.1 to 4.2 litres, 37 to 55 kW
The KT range comprises five small to mid-sized standard tractors whose type designation follows the logic common in farm equipment: the number after the KT letters roughly matches the engine's horsepower class, from the KT 52 at around 50 hp to the KT 75 A at around 75 hp, which is directly reflected in the register's values of 50 to 75 hp. The A suffix marks, on the larger models, a revised or more fully equipped version against the base model. The tractors were powered by three- and four-cylinder diesel engines, with the cylinder count rising from three to four with build size.

The register lists 5 versions with engines of 3,120 to 4,160 cm³, 3 to 4 cylinders, outputs of 37 to 55 kW, operating weights of 1,500 to 1,800 kg and lengths of 2,760 to 2,900 mm at a constant 2,350 rpm.
As small to mid-sized standard tractors, the KT models covered the basic work of farming families, from tillage to transport, in a power class also served at the time by numerous other European makers.
On used tractors, the condition of clutch and mechanical gearbox, engine compression and oil consumption, leak-free hydraulics and rust on wings and sheet metal count; parts supply for this small range is limited and runs mainly through specialist dealers in old 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.
