The register lists 2 variants with 27.8 to 29.3 kW, or 40 hp, of power from three-cylinder engines of 2,944 cc displacement at a rated speed of 2,000 rpm and 166 Nm of torque. Unladen weights fall between 1,850 and 2,150 kg, dimensions range from 3,160 to 3,240 mm in length, 1,550 to 1,960 mm in width and 1,460 mm in height.
With its resonant name and solid three-cylinder engine, the Königstiger occupied the mid power segment of Eicher's 1960s line-up, aimed at farms seeking a balanced field tractor between the smaller Tiger models and the large Mammut.
When buying used, check clutch and gearbox for wear, and the injection pump of the three-cylinder engine for even delivery. The hydraulics deserve a check for tightness and delivery pressure, and the bodywork an inspection for rust around the wings and bonnet. Steering linkage and front axle bushings should be checked for play, and the wiring loom for brittle insulation typical of tractors this age. An active network of collectors and specialist parts dealers exists for Eicher classics such as this.
