I think Matador 5 is an Eicher Farm Express from about 1963, made at Forstern, Oberbayern. This was based on a Matador, but had a 3.9-litre diesel engine, and was said to be able to tow a payload of up to 65 tonnes! I am guessing that Match 4 is an Eicher tractor, but I haven't been able to make a positive identification. An early 22 PS model, perhaps?

Yes, it's the Eicher Farm-Express. Quite an impressive work-horse. Since I'm not that much into tractors either, I can't tell you which model the match is. Below you can see the original ad.

Well done, gentlemen. The points go to:
