Eicher 188 2WD Price October 2026

The Eicher 188 2WD is an 18 HP compact tractor with a single-cylinder, 825 cc air-cooled engine. Its attraction is a small physical package: the manufacturer lists 1075 mm overall width, 1410 mm wheelbase and 806 kg total weight. These are screening dimensions for access, not a promise that every orchard row or attachment will fit.

Check the complete route and controls

Include the implement width, branches, gateways and headland turns in your measurement. Mechanical steering should be demonstrated in the turns you expect to repeat. The side-shift sliding-mesh gearbox has 8F + 2R speeds and a single clutch; ask the operator to show the correct shifting and stopping procedure. The orchard-clearance guide helps turn a narrow-tractor label into a route check.

Two PTO settings still need a load match

Both published PTO points produce 540 shaft rpm: one at 2179 engine rpm and the other at 1476 engine rpm. They are not evidence that every attachment can work at the lower engine setting. The published lift is 700 kgf with lower links horizontal. Eicher lists Category 2 combi-ball linkage on this compact model; have the dealer confirm the actual pins and geometry instead of assuming a mini tractor has Category 1 linkage.

Air cooling does not remove the need for engine maintenance. Ask to see the prescribed cooling-air inspection points, oil checks and local service arrangements. Compare this 2WD package with a 4WD alternative only after the access and implement checks; do not borrow the sibling’s dimensions or price.
