The Eicher 3133 carries an air-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 5,890 cm³ of displacement, producing 133 hp, or 98 kW, at 2,300 rpm, and developing 450 Nm of torque. At 5,550 kg, 4,610 mm long, 2,720 mm high, 2,330 mm wide and with a 2,730 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 31.5 km/h.
At 98 kW from six air-cooled cylinders and a weight of 5,550 kg, the 3133 ranks among the largest and heaviest versions of the 3000 range and is built for primary tillage with a plough and cultivator on larger areas as well as for heavy towed loads. Air cooling does away with a water pump, radiator and coolant, but calls for an unobstructed cooling fan and clear cooling fins on the engine block. On larger arable farms, a tractor of this size and weight also suits heavier trailer work and transport between distant fields, tasks for which smaller air-cooled models in the same range are less well suited.
When buying an air-cooled six-cylinder engine used, the condition of the cooling fan and its belt drive matters, since inadequate cooling airflow leads to overheating. Also worth checking are the injection pump, the condition of the clutch given the high torque of 450 Nm, and corrosion damage to the frame and mudguards, common on tractors of this build era.

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.
