Steyr Jubiläumsserie – tractors of types 188, 188 N, 190 and 288 from St. Valentin, two- to four-cylinder diesels from 21 to 33 kW, compact build for mixed farm use
The Jubiläumsserie brings together Steyr's 188, 188 N, 190 and 288 types, built at the St. Valentin plant in Upper Austria. As with the Plus series, the three-digit type number orders the models by power class, with the 188 and 190 in the lower and the 288 in the upper part of the range covered here; the letter N on the 188 N denotes a revised version of the base 188 type. Steyr, active in tractor building since the 1940s, covered the mid-market segment for smaller and medium farms with these compact two- to four-cylinder tractors.

The register lists four versions here with 20.6 to 33.1 kW from two- to four-cylinder diesel engines with 1,992 to 2,659 cm³ displacement. Rated speed lies between 2,200 and 2,400 rpm, unladen weight ranges from 1,390 to 1,930 kg with lengths from 3,160 to 3,435 mm, widths from 1,556 to 1,690 mm and heights from 1,444 to 1,527 mm.
With their compact dimensions and modest output, the Jubiläumsserie tractors were at home on farms with tight yard space and in grassland and orchard work, where manoeuvrability mattered more than raw pulling power; they thus sat in the same market segment as comparable compact tractors from Fendt and Deutz.
When buying used, check the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics at the lift arms and spool valves, and rust on the wings, bonnet and cab frame. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are available through the Steyr Traktoren network under CNH Industrial, and for older attachments it is worth also checking independent suppliers.

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.
