Eicher E 22/II (E range): early water-cooled two-cylinder diesel tractor with 2,198 cm³, 14.6 kW at 1,500 rpm and a 17 km/h top speed
The E 22/II belongs to the early tractors from the Bavarian manufacturer Eicher's range marked "E", in which the name Eicher 22 denoted this early power class.

The Eicher E 22/II carries a water-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine with 2,198 cm³ of displacement, producing 22 hp, or 14.6 kW, at 1,500 rpm. At 1,780 kg, 2,600 mm long, 1,550 mm high, 1,535 mm wide and with a 1,620 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 17 km/h.
With a rated speed of only 1,500 rpm, the engine runs considerably slower than most later Eicher two-cylinder engines, which were often designed for 2,000 rpm, and delivers its power evenly at low revolutions. At 14.6 kW and with a top speed of 17 km/h, the E 22/II ranks among the least powerful and slowest of the early Eicher tractors and was intended for basic field work on smaller farms. Even by the standards of small two-cylinder tractors from this era, the E 22/II sits at the lower end of the power scale, reflecting the more modest mechanisation needs of very small holdings at the time.
When buying such an early tractor used, the condition of the injection pump and fuel lines matters most, as spare parts for engines of this age are scarce and often available only used or remanufactured. Also worth checking are the tightness of the cooling system, the condition of the brakes, and corrosion damage to the frame and sheet-metal parts, which are the norm on such old machines.

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.
