Eicher 3700 series – the narrowest Forstern tractors: 3706 to 3714, 900 to 1,010 mm wide, A for four-wheel drive, air-cooled two- and three-cylinders, vineyard and hop tractors of the 1980s, 22 to 38 kW
The 3700 series is Eicher's narrowest tractor range and the successor to the 500s in the vineyard and hop class: tractors 900 to 1,010 mm wide and only 1,130 to 1,220 mm high that drive between vine rows and under hop trellises where no standard tractor fits. The type logic: the 37 stands for the series, the following digits order the size in ascending order – 3706 the smallest two-cylinder, 3714 the largest three-cylinder – A marks four-wheel drive, the suffix -74 a version with different track width. The engines are Eicher's air-cooled two- and three-cylinders with individual cylinders on a common crankcase, 1,963 and 2,944 cm³, at 2,000 rpm rated speed.

The register lists 10 versions with 22 to 38 kW (30 to 52 hp), 1,963 to 2,944 cm³ with two or three cylinders, unladen weights from 1,200 to 1,630 kg, lengths from 2,150 to 2,870 mm, widths from 900 to 1,010 mm and heights from 1,130 to 1,220 mm – all diesel.
At 1.2 m high and 0.9 m wide the 3700s are the class of the hop and espalier-fruit farms of Bavaria and the Palatinate, in which Eicher held its ground against Holder, Fendt and the Italians; the low weight spares the soil between the rows.
Used 3700s are sought after by vineyard operations and collectors; when buying, the condition of the air-cooled cylinders and blower, gearbox, steering and front axle, which suffer from constant lock, and parts supply through Eicher specialists are what count.

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.
