Schlüter

In 1968, the largest 6-cylinder model introduced was the Super 1250. It had a 7.1-liter, 110-horsepower engine. The transmission was the same ZF partially synchronized 12+6 as in the smaller 6-cylinder models. Later, the 1150 and 1050 came between the Super 950 and 1250. A more powerful 6-cylinder engine was obtained in 1970 by turbocharging. The 1500 TV replaced the earlier 8-cylinder 1500 V. This model had a lifting capacity of 5600 kg, which was significantly more than before. In 1972, slightly more powerful and longer L-models of the 1250 and 1500 were introduced.

For export markets, slightly more powerful variations of the Schlüters were manufactured. In many cases, the engine's nominal speed was raised from 1800 to 2000 rpm. The model designation indicated the engine displacement. For example, the Super E 7200 corresponded to the Super 1250, with power output of 130-135 hp. The most important export regions were Southern Europe and the Arab countries. Another variant deviating from Schlüter’s standard range was the forest-use versions, designated with the code SV. Forest models featured, among other things, a rotating control console, very thorough underbody armor, and mesh guards for the front and rear windows.

Schlüter Super 1050-1500T

By the early 1990s Schlüter’s production volumes had collapsed to fewer than 200 tractors a year and the range was badly outdated. In the 1980s they had explored partnerships with BMW, Daimler-Benz and Claas, but none of these led to a solution. By selling off unneeded property, Schlüter raised the capital for one final push: the design of an entirely new Euro Trac.

At the start of 1991 they unveiled the Euro Trac line, consisting of three power classes. The Euro Tracs were built on a full-length frame. The MAN engine was mounted under the cab, which sat between the axles. The transmission was still a ZF unit, equipped with Schlüter’s own hydraulic quick-shift mechanism. There were 24 forward and 12 reverse gears. The cab was completely new, but recognizable Schlüter features remained: the hydraulically tilting cab roof and sliding doors. A hydro-pneumatic cab suspension was standard. Rear-view equipment and air conditioning were optional extras, as was an electro-hydraulic linkage. A unique feature of the Euro Trac was its full-width front ballast of 1,300–1,600 kg, which could be hydraulically shifted forward.

The original three models were the 1300, 1600 and 1900. In 1993 they were replaced by the 1400, 1700 and 2000, which offered slightly more power and a refreshed appearance. There were also plans for three smaller models with continuously variable transmissions, but these never progressed beyond the prototype stage. In 1994 the company was forced to give up its factory premises. The other model lines were discontinued and Euro Trac production moved to Schönebeck in the former East Germany, where just 32 machines were built. The decision to cease production was made on Anton Schlüter III’s 80th birthday in January 1995. The remaining inventory was sold to Michael Egelseer, who assembled a few more Compact and Euro Trac models from parts between 1996 and 2002. The Euro Trac’s biggest handicap was perhaps its price, which was about one third higher than that of comparable Fendt Favorit tractors.

Schlüter Euro Trac 1300-2000

Here is the translated text in English:

---

In 1980, Super-Tracs were introduced alongside the Profi-Tracs. The main difference was that the rear wheels were no longer steerable. Therefore, the differences from the Super model were smaller than before. Mainly, the wheelbase was longer, the cab was larger, and the front wheels were the same size as the rear wheels. Naturally, the turning circle was larger than that of the Profi-Tracs.

The 8-cylinder Super-Trac 2000 used the same basic technology as the Super 2000 TVL Special. The 9.9-liter engine was lightly turbocharged, and the transmission was a ZF 12+5 combined with a Voith torque converter. The brakes were drums at the rear and discs at the front. In 1984, the Super-Trac 2500 equipped with a MAN engine was introduced, followed by the Super-Trac 3000 in 1988. These had an 18+6 transmission with a 3-speed quick shift. The last 2200 models were equipped with Liebherr engines, and the 2500 models with Daimler-Benz engines.

Schlüter Super-Trac 2000-3000

Super-Tracs were introduced alongside the Profi-Tracs in 1980. The most significant difference was that the rear wheels were no longer steering. The differences from the Super model were therefore smaller than before. Mainly, the wheelbase was longer, the cab larger, and the front wheels were the same size as the rear wheels. Naturally, the turning circle was larger than that of the Profi-Tracs.

The Super-Tracs with less than 200 horsepower were initially the 1300 and 1600 models. Of these, the non-turbocharged 1300 became rare. The 1600, on the other hand, was the most popular version of the Super-Trac lineup. In 1987, the Super-Trac 1800 equipped with an intercooler was introduced. The 1700 and 1900 models introduced the following year mostly came with an LS transmission, where all 24+12 gears could be changed without using the clutch pedal. Previously, the transmission had been 12+5 with a turbine clutch.

Compared to the Profi-Tracs, Super-Tracs were clearly cheaper, and their price level was slightly below that of the MB Tracs.

Schlüter Super-Trac 1300-1900

Between the years 1975 and 1989, a total of 43 Schlüter Profi-Traces were produced. The largest customer was the Yugoslav state, which purchased a total of 12 units. The smallest 1600 and 2000 models remained as single units, with the most produced being the 2500 and 3000 models. The Profi-Traces had equally sized wheels at the front and rear, and four-wheel steering, which made them quite agile. The cabin was located between the axles and could be tilted hydraulically. Most Profi-Traces were equipped with MAN six-cylinder engines. The gearboxes came from ZF and were originally designed for off-road trucks.

The majority of the production took place between 1976 and 1980. Between 1980 and 1989, a few Profi-Trac 2500 units were still manufactured. The later models featured a 280 hp turbocharged engine and a 16+16 shuttle transmission.

The Profi-Trac 5000 TVL, manufactured in 1978, is the largest tractor model ever produced in Europe. It was powered by a 21-liter MAN V12 engine. The machine weighed 18 tons.

Schlüter Profi-Trac 2200-5000

The Compact range equipped with MAN six-cylinder engines was expanded to more powerful classes with turbocharged models. These models always came standard with a turbine clutch. In 1983, the 110-horsepower 1150 was introduced, followed the next year by the 120-horsepower 1250, and in 1986 the 130-horsepower 1350. In 1986, 50 km/h versions were also introduced. The 1250 and 1350 had a lifting capacity of 6200 kg.

In 1988, a hydraulic quick-shift became available as an option, increasing the number of gears to 24+10. Models equipped with this had a longer wheelbase. The standard models also switched to a longer wheelbase in 1990.

Schlüter Compact 1150 V 6 – 1350 TV 6

Since 1982, the Compact models have been equipped with MAN six-cylinder engines, and Schlüter’s own engine production has focused on larger size classes. The engines were big six-cylinder units, and the model designation “V” stood for four-wheel drive. The transmission was still ZF’s 12+6 range-and-direction gearbox, but from 1983 onward the top gear could no longer be selected in reverse. A torque converter remained an optional extra. In 1986 the 50 km/h versions were introduced.

On the four-wheel drive models, the front axle was fitted with separate disc brakes. Instead of the push-rod sensing system, a pull-rod sensing system became available as an alternative. The cab was also offered in a lower Mini-Cab version. The noise level in the cab was 80 dB.

In 1988 a hydraulic quick-shift gearbox became an optional extra. Models equipped with it had a longer wheelbase. The standard models also switched to the longer wheelbase in 1990.

More from this manufacturer

The pride of Bavaria, the Schlüter tractor factory introduced the new S 350 – S 900 series for farms between 1962-64, replacing the S 20 – S 60 series. The innovation in the construction was a semi-frame, meaning the engine was no longer part of the load-bearing structure. The engines, representing the factory’s own production, were from the entirely new SDW series. Even the smallest model now had a 3-cylinder engine. In typical Schlüter fashion, the engines were slow-running: the rated speed was 1800 rpm. The model numbers were slightly higher than their DIN power ratings. The largest 6-cylinder S 900 had 80 hp. The transmission was an 8+4-speed by ZF. Gear ratios of 20 km/h and 28 km/h were available. The S 650 and S 900 featured a steering column gearshift.

Also new with Schlüter was that all models were available as four-wheel drive versions, equipped with a ZF axle. The four-wheel drive model was marked with a V (from "Vierradantrieb," meaning four-wheel drive). Enhanced steering was available as an optional extra. The front axle was spring-mounted. The appearance was very similar to the previous models. The standard color, contrary to all brochure images, was green. However, red became the most popular color in the 1960s, and the third option, gray, gradually disappeared from the range. Color options were also available for the grille and the rims.

Schlüter S 350 – S 900

In 1966, the Super series replaced the S series. All models now featured a steering column gearshift. The engine displacements were larger in most models compared to their predecessors. The 4-cylinder S 650 was replaced by a 6-cylinder Super 650, and the 3-cylinder S 450 by a 4-cylinder Super 500. The lifting capacities were greater than before. Other technical aspects and the appearance remained almost unchanged.

For the year 1968, the lineup was modified slightly. The 400 and 500 were replaced by versions with numbers 50 units higher. Additionally, the 550 S was introduced, whose transmission and hydraulics were taken from the larger 650 model. The 550 S and 600 models could be equipped with a turbine clutch. Alongside the rollover bar and soft-top cab, Schlüter's own Traktomobile cab was made available. In 1970, the fenders became angular.

Between 1969 and 1971, engines in various models were updated to the newer SDM series, resulting in a slight increase in power and displacement. Technical specifications for these versions are not included in the table.

Schlüter Super 350 – 650

The king of the Schlüter range introduced in 1966 was the Super 1500, equipped with an inline eight-cylinder engine. Its 9.5-liter powerplant produced 130 hp, later increased to 150 hp. The transmission was a single-range, six-speed gearbox fitted with a reverser. It offered a lifting capacity of 3000 kg and featured a notably long hood. The Super 1500 was permanently four-wheel drive.

Later eight-cylinder models were the Super 2000 and Super 1800, both built in quantities that could be counted on one hand.

Schlüter Super 1500-2000

In 1966 the Super series replaced the S series. The mid-range Supers introduced a ZF partially synchronized 12+6 gearbox, with crawler gears available as an optional extra. The brakes were hydraulically operated. The smallest 750 and 850 models used the same engine as the earlier S 900. A torque converter was an optional extra in this size category.

Over 90 percent of the mid-range Supers were sold with four-wheel drive. In the six-cylinder models, the driveshaft for the four-wheel drive ran through the center. The Tractomobil cab, however, did not become very popular at this stage. It was first introduced in 1966 on the Super 900.

In 1969 the new SDM-series engines were introduced. Their technical data are not shown in the table because the engines were changed again in 1971. For example, the 950’s engine was reduced to 6.9 liters in 1969. In 1970 the power output rose to 100 horsepower. In 1971 the engine was reduced to 6.6 liters and the power dropped again to 95 horsepower.

Schlüter Super 750 – 950

The small Super models were replaced in 1971 by the Compact models. These featured smaller 3- and 4-cylinder engines than before, in terms of displacement. The most powerful model, the Compact 950 (95 hp), was equipped with a turbocharger. For a few years, a 6-cylinder Super model was still available in the same power class. The Compact transmissions were fully synchronized 12+6 gearboxes from ZF. A torque converter clutch was available as an option.

About half of the Compacts were sold as four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive could be engaged on the move, and a limited-slip differential became an option from 1974 onward. Four-wheel brakes were also available.

In 1972, 18 units of the Compact 550 model were produced. It was smaller in every respect compared to the 750. Production was prematurely ended because ZF discontinued the production of the gearbox used in the 550.

In 1974, a higher cab was introduced, with the gear levers moved to the side. At the same time, engine power was increased. Hydrostatic steering was introduced to the four-wheel drive models in autumn 1975 and to the rear-wheel drive models in spring 1976. The engine hood became somewhat more angular in 1975.

Schlüter Compact 550 – 1050

The Schlüters of the Super series remained in production with minor changes until the 1990s. Their appearance dated back to the early 1960s, but this did not harm the brand’s position as the most esteemed brand on the market. However, sales figures gradually declined year by year. Compared to the sales volume, there was an impressive range of model options and equipment possibilities. For example, more lifting power was often available at an extra cost, and the turbine clutch was either standard or optional depending on the model. The 1050 came standard with push-arm sensing and had pull-arm sensing as an option, which was standard on larger models.

In spring 1974, a hydraulically tiltable Super-Silence cab was introduced for the 1250 V model. It wasn't available for the 1050 until 1978. The gear levers were moved to the side, and the controls were otherwise updated. In 1978, the cab was widened. In 1981, a 40 km/h transmission and a new front axle equipped with a lock were introduced. The 1250 VL had a friction lock as standard since 1974. In 1981, the 130-horsepower 1250 VL Special was launched, and a year later, the 110-horsepower 1050 V Special followed. In 1986, a 50 km/h version with 24+10 gears became available. A power lift with electrical control was available as an optional extra from 1988 onwards. In 1990, the wheelbase was extended.

In 1989, the Super 1250 VL-LS and the corresponding Special model were introduced. These featured a 24+12 transmission with a 2-speed quick-shift taken from the larger model range, available in both 40 km/h and 50 km/h versions.

Between 1991 and 1993, 5 units of the Super 1300 fitted with MAN engines (130 hp) were produced, and in 1993, 6 units of the Super 1400 (135 hp) were manufactured. These models had a turbocharged 6.9-liter engine. The rest of the technology was consistent with the Super 1250.

In the 1980s, the Schlüters of the Super series were only slightly more expensive than “ordinary” tractors of the same power class and clearly cheaper than Fendt Favorites.

Schlüter Super 1050-1400 Super-Silence

The tractors of the Super series Schlüters remained in production with minor changes until the 1990s. The appearance dated back to the early 1960s, but that did not affect the brand’s position as the most respected brand on the market. However, sales figures declined year by year. Compared to sales numbers, there was an astonishing variety of model options and equipment possibilities. For example, more lifting power was often available at an additional cost. A turbine clutch was a standard feature. The front axle limited-slip differential was already standard on the 1500 models in 1974.

In spring 1974, the hydraulically tipping Super-Silence cab was introduced. The gear levers were moved to the side, and the controls were otherwise renewed. In 1978, the cab was widened. In 1981, a 40 km/h gearbox and a new front axle were introduced. At the same time, the 160-horsepower 1500 TVL Special was launched. In 1986, a 50 km/h version became available, which had 24+10 gears. In 1990, the wheelbase was extended.

In 1987, the Super 1500 VL-LS and the corresponding Special model were introduced. These had a 24+12 gearbox equipped with a 2-speed splitter, available in both 40 km/h and 50 km/h versions. The electric power lift was available as an accessory starting from 1988.

Schlüter Super 1500 Super-Silence

In the spring of 1975, the 8-cylinder Super 2000 TVL equipped with the Super-Silence cab was introduced. The power of the turbocharged 9.5-liter engine was 185 hp. The transmission was the same ZF 12+5 as, for example, in the Fendt. In 1976, a new front axle, hydrostatic steering, and a stronger transmission were introduced. In 1978, the cab was widened. In 1981, the Special model was introduced, which had 200 hp and a speed of 40 km/h.

The Super 2500 VL and 3000 TVL were equipped with MAN's 6-cylinder engine, which was turbocharged in the latter. The transmission was ZF 18+6. The high-speed gear was a hydraulic 3-speed. All gears could be changed using a button clutch located at the end of the gear lever. The Super 2500 and 3000 were closely related to Schlüter's Profi Trac models, which were discontinued at the same time, but the front wheels were smaller and the hydraulics more powerful. The electric hitch was an optional accessory.

Schlüter Super 2000-3000

The Compact models received the Super-Silence cab only in 1978. The pedals became suspended, and the gear levers were moved to the side. The fuel tanks were larger than before. The steering was hydrostatic. By far the most popular Compact model was the 850.

In 1981, 40 km/h versions were introduced, which had 18.4R38 rear tires. In 1982, a 90-horsepower model, the Compact 850 Special, was also produced.

In terms of price, the Compacts were slightly more expensive than the Fendt Farmers.

Schlüter Compact 750 – 1050

In 1982, the Super 1800 with an intercooler, based on the Super 1500, was introduced. Its 7.4-liter engine produced 180 hp. The standard speed was 40 km/h. In 1986, the power increased to 185 horsepower. In 1988, the same engine was installed in the Super 1900 Special model. It was also available with a 2-speed quick transmission, which provided 24+12 gears. The speed could be chosen as either 40 or 50 km/h.

In 1991, the Super 1600 equipped with a MAN engine was introduced, followed by more powerful 1700, 1900, and 2000 models. Production of the Super series ended in 1993.
