Eicher 4048 (4000er range, Phase III, 1978–1982): water-cooled three-cylinder diesel with 2,500 cm³, 35 kW and a weight of 2,705 kg
The 4000 range from the Bavarian manufacturer Eicher also received several versions with a water-cooled three-cylinder engine during its production period marked Phase III. The Eicher 4048 was built from 1978 to 1982. Such three-cylinder versions formed the backbone of the range's mid power bracket during this period, while larger four- and six-cylinder engines were reserved for the higher versions.

The Eicher 4048 carries a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine with 2,500 cm³ of displacement, producing 48 hp, or 35 kW. At 2,705 kg, 3,690 mm long, 2,320 mm high, 1,835 mm wide and with a 2,185 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 25 km/h.
At 35 kW from 2,500 cm³ of displacement and a weight of 2,705 kg, the 4048 ranks among the medium-sized versions of the 4000 range and is built for classic field work with a plough, harrow and rotary harrow on medium-sized farms. The 25 km/h top speed was enough for haulage runs between yard and field, not for brisk road travel. The front end also left enough room for a front loader, a fitment common on farms of this size.
When buying a water-cooled three-cylinder engine of this age used, the condition of the water pump and radiator matters, as leaks and scale build-up are common after decades. Also worth checking are the injection pump, the condition of the clutch, and corrosion damage to the frame and mudguards, widespread on tractors of this build era.
