Eicher EM 300 Königstiger (Raubtierserie, EM, 1959–1968): air-cooled three-cylinder diesel with 2,944 cm³, 25.6 kW and a 1,410 mm overall height
In the Raubtierserie of the EM range too, Eicher used the name Königstiger, here for a version fitted with three cylinders. The EM 300 Königstiger was built from 1959 to 1968. Such three-cylinder versions of the Raubtierserie targeted farms that needed more power than the small two-cylinder models but not yet a large-displacement six-cylinder.

The Eicher EM 300 Königstiger carries an air-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine with 2,944 cm³ of displacement, producing 35 hp, or 25.6 kW, at 2,000 rpm. At 1,810 kg, 3,244 mm long, 1,410 mm high, 1,502 mm wide and with a 2,050 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 18.2 km/h.
At 25.6 kW from an air-cooled three-cylinder engine and an overall height of just 1,410 mm, the EM 300 Königstiger ranks among the low-built versions of the Raubtierserie and was intended for field work on smaller to medium farms. The low build height made it easier to work under low barn roofs and in tight sheds. This compact build height did not come at the cost of ground clearance, which remained adequate for work on uneven terrain.
When buying an air-cooled Eicher three-cylinder engine of this age used, the condition of the cooling fan and cooling fins matters, as these are often dirty or damaged after decades. Also worth checking are the injection pump, the condition of the clutch, and corrosion damage to the frame and sheet-metal parts, widespread on tractors of this age.
