Eicher 300 series – narrow-track special-crop tractors from Forstern: 334 to 365, two- to four-cylinder diesels, width under 1.2 m, 1,330–1,970 kg
The Eicher 300 series bundles compact, narrow-track tractors from the Bavarian maker with type numbers 334, 342, 352 and 365; the S and AS suffixes mark different equipment or drive variants of the same base version. With widths under 1.2 metres, the line targeted work in narrow row crops such as vineyards and orchards, as well as tight farmyard situations where standard tractors are too wide.

The register lists 6 versions rated at 34 to 52 hp from two- to four-cylinder diesel engines of 1,963 to 3,927 cm³, kerb weights of 1,330 to 1,970 kg, and a length of 2,715 to 3,480 mm, a width of 885 to 1,195 mm and a height of 1,210 to 1,230 mm, at around 2,150 rpm.
Narrow-track tractors such as the Eicher 300 series remain in demand at special-crop farms to this day, because they can turn between tight rows of vines or trees without damaging the crop; competition came from similarly narrow-built models from other German and Italian makers. The low overall height of around 1.2 metres also makes it easier to pass under low-hanging branches and foliage walls.
On these compact tractors, check engine and clutch condition, the mechanical gearbox, the hydraulics, and corrosion on the narrow bodywork and wings; given work between vine rows, it is worth checking the steering and front axle for wear. Spares are supplied by specialist Eicher dealers and vintage parts stockists.

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.
- 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.
