Eicher Kombi G 16 - G280

Like many other German manufacturers, Eicher introduced a implement carrier in 1953, named the Eicher Kombi G 16. The engine was a 1-cylinder 1.4-liter Eicher diesel with 15 hp, and the transmission was a Hurth 5+1. Power was transmitted to the mid-lift device by chain. The differential lock was standard. Production was delayed when Lanz raised objections due to excessive similarities with their Alldog.

In 1955, the original G 16 model was replaced by the more powerful G 19. In 1957, it was joined by the 22-horsepower G 22. These later had a crawler gear as standard, increasing the number of gears to 6+1. A mechanical 10-degree steering angle was available as an option for the rear axle, allowing the wheels to run on different tracks.

In 1956, a smaller model, the Muli G 13, equipped with a 13-horsepower Hatz diesel engine, was introduced. Its wheelbase was 35 cm shorter than the larger models.

Starting in 1958, the updated G 160 and G 200 models received a new generation of higher-speed, short-stroke Eicher diesels and a ZF transmission (6+1). The G 200 engine was 2-cylinder, as was the 1960 introduced G 280, which also featured a new 8+4 transmission. In 1962, the same transmission was fitted to the G 220, which replaced the smaller models. The G 280 was clearly the most popular Eicher implement carrier.

Between 1964 and 1968, third-generation models Kombi G 25, G 30, and G 40 were produced. The largest engine was 3-cylinder. The G 30 and G 40 were also available with draft control.
