Eicher

The smallest of the renewed 1968 Eicher lineup was the Tiger, available as a 2-cylinder 28 hp and a 3-cylinder 35 hp version. Similarly, the Königstiger was offered in a 3-cylinder 45 hp and a 4-cylinder 52 hp model. The gearbox was the same ZF 8+4 as before, but the gear levers were innovatively moved to the right side.

The dual clutch was now standard. There were two clutch pedals side by side. One first disengaged the driving transmission and with further pressure engaged the power take-off, the other did the opposite. All models had a 20-liter hydraulic pump, a lifting capacity of 1445 kilograms, and PTO speeds of 540 and 1000. Three hydraulic valves were now available. Draft control operated through the push rod. Königstiger models were also available with four-wheel drive.

The engine hood was wider and slightly more angular than before. The red stripes had been replaced by white stripes on the side of the hood. Instead of the former leaf spring, the front axle had rubber suspension.

At the end of the 1960s, the Eicher family sold 30% of the company to Massey Ferguson, and later the share increased to 99.7%. MF built a new factory for Eicher that started operations in 1972. The first step in introducing MF technology to Eichers was the adoption of the MF 135 transmission in the Tiger and the MF 155 transmission in the Königstiger II. The Multipower quick shift was always standard on the Königstigers and was designated HS (Hydraulische Schaltgetriebe) on Eicher. MF technology brought a significant increase in lifting capacity. Four-wheel drive models still continued at this stage with Eicher transmissions.

Eicher Tiger, Königstiger

Introduced in 1959, the 45-horsepower Mammut was the most powerful model of the original predator series. However, its 3-cylinder 4.3-liter engine was still from the older series, unlike the smaller models. The transmission, on the other hand, was state-of-the-art, a ZF 8+4.

The Mammut II, introduced with the 1962 model update, received a new generation 4-cylinder high-speed engine. It produced 55 hp. The original Mammut remained alongside until 1964, when it also received a new engine in a lower power version. In 1963, the four-wheel-drive Mammut II Allrad was introduced, which was Eicher's first four-wheel-drive model after a few years’ break. The front axle was supplied by ZF, and the power take-off was on the right side.

In 1966, the Mammut HR was introduced, featuring a hydrostatic transmission. Its manufacturer was the British company Dowty. Only just over 50 units of these models were produced.

Introduced in 1958, the Tiger was the second of the first models in Eicher's new predator series. The engine was a new short-stroke 2-cylinder 2.0-liter. It had 25 hp. The transmission was a modern ZF 8+4.

The following year, the 3-cylinder Königstiger was added alongside, with 35 hp. The Königstiger featured a standard power take-off system.

The renewed 1962 model lineup is recognized by the lights moved to the side of the engine hood. Other changes included increased power, new steering, battery placement under the hood, and an optional 28 km/h version. In 1963, a four-wheel-drive model of the Königstiger was introduced. The drive shaft ran along the side. Another 1963 innovation was the Tiger II, positioned between the Tiger and Königstiger, with a 3-cylinder engine producing 32 hp.

Also in the same power category as the Tiger was Eicher's first narrow model, the Puma, introduced in 1960. Narrow tractors for vineyard and orchard cultivation became a significant product group for Eicher going forward.

Eicher's tractor production peak was in 1965, with over 9,000 tractors manufactured. The Tiger and Königstiger were Eicher's most popular models, with nearly 20,000 units of each produced by 1968.

Since 1958, Eicher introduced new engines and a new tractor model range, which was called the predator series according to the model names. The hoods had rounded lines and the grille was aluminum. The engines were significantly shorter stroke than before, and the RPM increased from 1500/1600 to 2000.

The 19-horsepower Panther was a 2-cylinder, whereas previous models with the same power had been 1-cylinder. The transmission was a ZF 6+1, and the top speed was 20 km/h. The Panther featured drum brakes, a PTO, a differential lock, and a leaf spring front axle. In 1962, the power increased to 22 horsepower and the transmission was upgraded to a stronger model.

In 1960, Eicher introduced its last 1-cylinder model, the 15-horsepower Leopard. Its transmission was a ZF 6+2. The three-point hitch was an optional accessory.

The last series of Eicher tool carrier models, Unisuper, was introduced in 1966. The three-point linkage was now equipped with separate hydraulics instead of the previous chain drive. There were three models: G 250, G 300, and G 400. At least in the Netherlands, the G400 was sold under the power rating designation G 420. The smaller models had Eicher’s 2-cylinder 2.0-liter diesel engine, and the largest had a 3-cylinder 2.9-liter engine. The transmission was a ZF 8+4. The G 300 and G 400 featured a PTO independent of the driving clutch and a hydraulic piston pump.

The clearly most popular model in the series was the G 400, which was also sold under the name Deutz Unisuper 4001 equipped with Deutz's own engine.

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.

Eicher Kombi G 16 - G280

In 1958, the first models of the new predator series were introduced, as well as intermediate models ED 110…ED 215, whose design already closely resembled the next lineup. The model designations referred to the number of cylinders, cylinder diameter, and ZF transmission model. The ED 110/II was equipped with a Hurth 6+1 transmission instead of ZF. The ZF transmissions featured a new dog clutch. There was also a four-wheel drive version of the ED 215, with 10-24 tires on the front and rear.

The hood shape of the new models was onion-shaped. A new optional feature was front PTO. The most successful model in the lineup was the ED 110/II, the successor to the EKL 15. On some export markets, the four smallest models were sold under the model names E 17, E 20, E 24, and E 35.
