MFT 600 series – register collective page for Eicher tractors 656 to 680: three- to four-cylinder diesels, 2,925 to 3,927 cm3 displacement, 41 to 59 kW, VC and VAC variants
The MFT 600 series gathers in the register four Eicher tractors of the 656, 666 and 680 types, which fall into a shared power class based on their three-digit type number. The additional letters VC and VAC mark separate equipment variants of these models. Eicher built its field tractors with such three-digit type numbers over several decades in Bavaria, before production later moved into other corporate structures.

The register lists here four versions with 41 to 59 kW from three- to four-cylinder engines of 2,925 to 3,927 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 2,170 to 2,385 kg, overall length from 2,965 to 3,530 mm, width from 1,035 to 1,230 mm and height from 2,070 to 2,210 mm. Rated speed sits at 2,100 rpm.
With their power band of 41 to 59 kW, these Eicher models covered the mid segment of West German field tractors of their time and were used on mixed farms for fieldwork, transport and PTO work such as forage chopping or driving pumps.
On these tractors, what counts is the condition of the frame and mudguards for rust, wear on the clutch and gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift linkage, and the function of the lighting system and instruments. Spare parts are today obtained mainly through specialist Eicher vintage-tractor dealers and relevant tractor clubs.

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.
