The Eicher EM 295 Panther carries an air-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine with 1,536 cm³ of displacement, producing 19 hp, or 14 kW, at 2,000 rpm, and developing 80 Nm of torque. At 1,360 kg, 2,830 mm long, 1,450 mm high, 1,490 mm wide and with a 1,830 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
At 14 kW from a small air-cooled two-cylinder engine, the EM 295 Panther ranks among the less powerful versions of the Raubtiere range and was intended as basic equipment for smaller farms with simple field work and haulage. Air cooling made the engine insensitive to frost and coolant loss, but in turn required regularly cleaned cooling airflow. Compared with the larger three- and four-cylinder Eicher tractors of the same decades, the EM 295 Panther traded raw power for a lighter, more manageable machine on small acreages.
When buying an air-cooled Eicher two-cylinder engine of this age used, the condition of the cooling fan and the cooling fins on the cylinder block matters, as these can become dirty or damaged after decades of use. Also worth checking are the injection pump, the condition of the brakes, and corrosion damage to the frame and sheet-metal parts, which are the norm on tractors of this age.

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.
