Eicher ES 200: air-cooled two-cylinder diesel tractor from the Puma series, 1,963 cc, 20.5 kW and 80 Nm of torque, built 1960 to 1961
Eicher was a Bavarian tractor manufacturer known for using its own air-cooled diesel engines, which set the brand apart from water-cooled competitor products. The ES 200 belonged to the Puma series, one of the manufacturer's smaller model lines from the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The ES 200 is powered by an air-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine of 1,963 cc, producing 28 hp, or 20.5 kW, and 80 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. At a weight of 985 kg, a length of 2,370 mm, a height of 1,110 mm and a width of 890 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,560 mm, it is a light, compact tractor with a top speed of 20 km/h.
A two-cylinder diesel engine of around 20 kW and a comparatively low weight was, in the early 1960s, a typical layout for small and medium farms, suited to tillage with lighter implements and running a power take-off at the standard speeds of 540 or 1,000 rpm. The low weight aided manoeuvrability on smaller plots.
When buying such an old Eicher ES 200 secondhand, the condition of the cooling fins on the cylinder block and of the cooling fan matters most, since dirt or damage there leads to overheating. Also worth checking are the clutch and gearbox for wear, the diesel engine's injection pump, and the frame and axles for rust; spare parts for this older Eicher series are now only available through specialist suppliers.

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.
