Eicher ES 202 Puma I (ES range, 1965–1970): air-cooled two-cylinder diesel with 1,963 cm³, 22 kW and an overall height of just 1,176 mm
In the ES range, the model carried the nickname Puma; the ES 202 was the first version in this range. It was built from 1965 to 1970. The ES 202 opened this range, known as Puma, in a fairly low and light build that stood well apart from Eicher's larger ranges.

The Eicher ES 202 (Puma I) carries an air-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine with 1,963 cm³ of displacement, producing 30 hp, or 22 kW, at 2,000 rpm. At 1,275 kg, 2,475 mm long, 1,176 mm high, 920 mm wide and with a 1,668 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 18.8 km/h.
At just 1,176 mm tall and 920 mm wide, the ES 202 ranks among the lowest and narrowest of the Eicher tractors considered here, suited to work under particularly low roofs and in the narrow lanes of special crops. At 1,275 kg, the machine still stays light enough not to sink even on softer ground. The short 1,668 mm wheelbase also supports a tight turning circle, an advantage when manoeuvring between rows of trees or through narrow yard gateways.
When buying such a low, narrow tractor used, the condition of the front axle bearings matters, as these see greater strain during tight turns. Also worth checking are the cooling airflow of the air-cooled two-cylinder engine, the injection pump, and corrosion damage to the frame and sheet-metal parts, common 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.
