These tractors although rougly similar to the C series CIH in appearance are not cloned from any other tractor except Eicher themselves. They have air-cooled engines, with each cylinder being independently cooled. Standard shidt transmissions with out board "bull gear" reduction. This is just the particular styling the Indians chose for the US. Market after several years of market research. New updates to the styling are in the works. It will look similar to the existing 485 that are sold here now. Should be here by October. Click on pic to see 485 and its appearance.
Although the 6100 tractor is from the Valmet design, it is not as similar to the old 365 as it is to the newer 600 and 700 series tractors. What may be posted on the net is an older version of the tractor. The sheet metal has been changed to the updated version of the 600 Valtra. Also, you will find that the castings and design of the basic tractor are identical, with some of the items on the three point hitch being "beefed" up for the Indian and US Market. The transmission is the same (Spicer) with the exception that it only has hi and lo with the med range as special order option. 4 Wd is now available on Special order for this tractor. Eicher has decided to give all the tractors one look and this includes the 6100. It is now available in India with 2 sheet metals. The idea is that it will be cheaper to produce. Also this sheet metal will be availble only in future 7100 series. ....
