Eicher E – register code for the small tractor with two-cylinder diesel: E 22 and E 25 types across three generation stages, 16 to 18.3 kW, 25 hp, 2,198 cm3 displacement
The E range gathers in the register the small two-cylinder tractors of the Eicher works: the E 22 I type and three generation stages of the E 25 type, marked with the Roman numerals I, II and III. This running numbering shows the step-by-step development of the basic E 25 model across several production years, without the engine's displacement or rated speed changing.

The register lists here four versions with 16 to 18.3 kW engine output, quoted as 25 hp, from two-cylinder engines of 2,198 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 1,680 to 1,880 kg, overall length from 2,600 to 2,800 mm, width from 1,535 to 1,540 mm and height from 1,500 to 1,860 mm. Rated speed sits at 1,500 rpm.
As two-cylinder small tractors in the region of 25 hp, the E range served smaller farms and part-time farmers looking for a simple, robust tractor for field and transport work without the outlay of larger four-cylinder machines, for instance grassland maintenance or driving stationary equipment from the belt pulley.
On these small, now historic two-cylinder tractors, what counts is the condition of the engine for oil consumption and smoking, the clutch and gearbox for wear, the tightness of the hydraulics, and rust on the frame and sheet metal. Parts for the small Eicher engines are available mainly through vintage-tractor specialists and collector fairs.

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.
