17087104 - Eicher Königstiger with Frontloader Light Blue (HO Scale)

The farmers loved their Eichers so much: There was once a time when the Eicher Königstiger had its own place in every farm yard whose owner had sworn to be true to Eicher. And it is not much different today: there are many impeccably restored tractors at tractor meets throughout Germany – Eicher is a cult. Here, the Königstiger has long been a legend within the famous Eicher “Predator-series”, which created a furore with the Panther and Tiger, when they were introduced in 1958. Since 1959 the Königstiger has had a wonderful reputation as a standard tractor. Occasional prototypes are therefore still to be found on farms, and others are admired at classic tractor meets throughout Germany. The roll bar makes the prototypes ready for action. The Königstiger was supplied with a 35 or 40 HP 3-cylinder Eicher Diesel four-stroke engine.

Light blue chassis, axle mounting, fenders and rear hydraulics, red wheels. Exhaust, seat, and steering wheel black, wheels red. Eicher lettering on radiator grille in red. Radiator grille border with grille bars painted silver. Fuel cap, decorative stripe on hood, and ventilation grille on driver's side painted silver. Fork arm, support, fork, and bucket light blue.
