The EM 600 is a tractor from the manufacturer Eicher and belongs to the tractor group. It is powered by an air‑cooled four‑stroke diesel engine with four cylinders and a displacement of 3 927 cm³, delivering 55 – 62 hp. The engine produces a maximum torque of 251 Nm, which is useful for starting heavy implements and pulling trailers in the field.
The machine measures 1 900 mm in width and 1 700 mm in height, allowing it to fit standard track widths and to be positioned easily behind field equipment. Its transmission provides eight forward and four reverse gears, giving the operator the ability to select the optimal gear ratio for various tasks. A top speed of 20 km/h enables swift travel between work sites, while the 85‑liter fuel tank supports long periods of operation without frequent refuelling. The lifting device is classified as Category II, defining the permissible lifting capacity for attached tools.
Since no comparative data are provided for the series, the EM 600 cannot be placed in a ranking. It is suitable for typical field operations such as plowing, harrowing and transporting loads, where moderate power, a wide gear range and a larger fuel capacity are advantageous.
Eicher – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the big-cat types Tiger, Panther and Königstiger to the Indian 242 XTRAC, 16 to 63 kW, Eicher, Deutz and Simpson diesel engines
This page gathers the Eicher tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Eicher of Bavaria began building tractors in the 1930s and for decades named its models after big cats and predators – Tiger, Königstiger, Panther, Puma, Leopard and Mammut mark different power classes of the German ranges. Later in the 20th century the German tractor division passed to other owners, while the Eicher name lives on in India as an independent tractor brand, where models such as the 242 Super Star, 242 XTRAC and Goodearth 242 are built for the domestic market. The type numbers of the German ranges roughly order the power class, EM and ED mark equipment variants; the engines come from Eicher itself, from Deutz and from Simpson, a long-established Indian engine maker.

The register lists here 47 versions with 16 to 63 kW from one- to four-cylinders of 1,298 to 3,927 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 985 to 2,875 kg, lengths from 2,370 to 3,662 mm, widths from 890 to 1,900 mm, heights from 1,110 to 2,350 mm and torque from 65 to 251 Nm at 1,500 to 2,100 rpm.
In Germany, Eicher ranked alongside Fendt, Deutz and Hanomag among the known tractor brands of the post-war era, while the Indian Eicher line remains to this day one of the country's established tractor makers, serving there mainly the smaller and medium power classes.
On the German big-cat types, originality, engine condition and the availability of spares, limited on the rarer ranges, count, and on the Indian models operating hours, the state of clutch and gearbox, and rust on sheet metal; parts are carried by specialist Eicher enthusiast networks and, in India, the Eicher authorised-dealer network.
