The series most realistic tractor I have ever laid eyes on. Not the prettiest yet the most beautifully engineered tractor on thus channel yet. Lord muck this is the the queen if all Queens of agricultural machinery you have shown. The beauty in her sound her "tug" is second to none. Absolute gem of a machine
just cause its old does not mean its no good the smile on your face at 5.00 mins says it all 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Hello Lord Muck, thank you for the Video, Sorry for my bad English I am writing with Translator.
Anton Schlüter the III (1915 - 1999) was not IH, Deere, Ford or Massey-Ferguson, In 1957, at the age of 42, he inherited a factory with a foundry and a tractor production facility as well as an estate from his father.
In the late 70's and early 80's around 30 tractors were sold to the UK, a 280hp Profi Trac 3000 was shown on a demo tour in 1980 and then returned to Germany. These tractors were never offered in the USA, Canada, New Zealand or Africa, the main sales market was Germany, exports were made to France, Yugoslavia, Austria, the Benelux countries, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.
In the late 1960s he specialized in the construction of large tractors and was the market leader in Germany for tractors over 150 DIN HP from around 1975 - 1983. In the late 1970s around 500 - 600 tractors were manufactured each year, and in 1983 BMW became interested for the foundry and there were rumors that the production of the tractors would be stopped, which was denied by Anton Schlueter, however, the number of pieces fell to only 350 tractors and in 1987 there were only about 160.
His marriage remained childless and the tractor production was his life , the company did not go bankrupt, but the systems were very outdated and sewer connection and other measures were ordered, so the factory had to be closed at the end of 1993. He therefore planned to build a new factory around 1990 at the age of 75, but this was not realized was, the production of the Eurotrac (the last Schlueter development) was transferred to Schönebeck in a former GDR tractor factory However, it was unsuccessful and only 32 of these spectacular tractors were built there.
The tractors were built from the late 70s onwards as it was only standard in the 90s, the tank was pulled up under the cab, exhaust and air filter on the sides, the cab could be tilted backwards hydraulically within minutes.
Air conditioners could also be ordered from the factory in the 70s, but were still an exotic extra in Europe. With many of these tractors it was also the case that the buyer was not the driver.
From 1980/81 40kmH gearboxes came and went In the summer of 1986, the tractors from 95 to 185 hp were offered as a high-speed version with a range of 50 km, which was rarely ordered. In 1976 the ProfiTrac 5000 was built, a 500 hp tractor. From 1980 onwards, the tractors from 165 - 280 HP were offered in 2 versions as a Super (standard with large rear tires and smaller front tires) and as a Super Trac with 4 wheels of the same size.
Due to the small numbers, the look (which comes from the French industrial designer Louis Lepoix), the large tilting cab, the ZF transmissions with the turbo coupling and the engines with the large displacement, these tractors have always been something special, even when they were new.
I took most of these facts from the excellent books by Klaus Tietgens.
Greetings from Austria
Danke Bernhard
Fantastic information Bernhard. Danke Schön
What a beautiful sound that engine makes when the right foot is pushed to the floor....🙂
I remember a Swiss guy who brought two of these with him when he came to manage a farm in UK. He said they were the best in the world but you had to drive them to understand why - and now we know…. Many thanks
My old boss has an gravel cart for filling drainage ditches with an old number plate on it which it off that tractor! Recognised it straight away!
We had many Schluters in Ex-Yugoslavia, personally i think this is the most durable tractor. In my village (Croatia) there where 4 schluters bought in early '70s,120-140hp,there where also few john deere 7020,few steyr 100-120hp from '70s ,same buffalo 130 and hercules 160...during occupacion of my village and after the Yugoslavian war,only Schluters where still working, all 4 of them! Each one of them did plow a few houndreds of ha, each year, especially during the war,with almost no any proper maintanence,because Serbia had embargo,so they didn't have acces to spare parts. None of the rest of western tractors survived.
God knows how many working hours they made...even before the war. My neighbor was one of tractor drivers in '80s and he sad that they where working in shifts day and night for up to 2 months,especially with Schluters.. And, if he was a farmer,he would buy only a Schluter,and that would be a tractor enough for a entire lifetime.
Schlüter built such good tractors, a lot of farms only use them up today. Also Jugoslawia bought a lot of the big ones for their big farms. Schlüter is also my all time favourite tractor brand
Hi Lord Muck, that Tractor is one of the beautilful tractors you ever showed so far. I've been operating exactly the same one more then 35 years ago. Schlüter was a small traktor manufactory, located near Munich, Bavaria, Germany. They produced online small numbers of units of each model. The biggest traktor they ever built was the 5000TVL (500hp) but only 3 units of that one.
I am currently restoring a 1963 MF65 together with my cousin. Still lot to do on it...
Greetings from Germany
Joerg, you started off so well... 😉😂
Finally!! I wanted to see this episode so bad. Schlüter made a 500 HP tractor in I believe 1978. It had some issues but wen it was running on demo's. It was a beast.
Excellent video that sounded amazing, I guess that George will be dead jealous of that ride. Kimberley's video is excellent and her apprentice is really coming along well.
I think he just enjoys the cups of tea
My boss and neighbour had 2 Schluters that he bought from Anton in 1972 to work on his farm in Ireland. He had placed an order a few years later for a bigger one but cancelled it in temper when one of the drivers broke something through carelessness.Because he was German himself he thought they were superior and tried to promote further sales of them in Ireland. For power and traction they would embarrass his 1300 super fiats and 1124 county. The backend was similar to a 8006 Deutz being ZF also. The cab was the earlier version with no back in it same sliding doors. The engines had a short life between rebuilds seldom both were out of the workshop.In the early 90s one was scrapped to keep the other alive. I still have the rev counter clock and brown tax book from it. The other one has remained local and will be restored sometime. A specialist used to come from Germany to carry out major work on them.Another earlier small cab less one is still in my area made before they were red with a mid mounted finger bar . It was also imported by a German that came here to farm after the war .
That you could throttle down, let it lug and then bellow back up on top without a stumble, says she's designed right. Marvelous old machine even if the cab looks like an office building stuck on top of a tractor.
Schlüter has been an awesome brand. But even here in Germany those machines are a rare sight nowadays.
they are fantastic machines always liked how they look, very rare here in Austria and from what i heard they've gotten scarce even in Germany. Schlüter's definetly on top of the list of classics to buy (if i ever win the lottery). Schlüter closed down in December 1993, the Eurotrac was the last new model range they built.
You can feel the power just sitting in the arm chair love the content keep up the good work
Always thought those tractors were super sharp especially all done up. Cab always looked way ahead of all the other manufacturers at least in the early 80s. They sound amazing. The 5000TVL with the V12 MAN has a really nice bark.
Man the sound of that big beast spooling up... oofta 👌
Hi Mucka
Super tractor drove one for a summer nearly 25 years ago on a tillage farm in north Germany near Hamburg
What a machine we had a JD 7800 and a JD4755 also The Schluter was a170hp model but would leave both deeres for dead
It was also reverse drive the steering wheel and dash and seat could rotate to face rearwards and so had many extra uses
Brings back great memories thanks for that
Got the feeling that you might like this one Mucker. I am old enough to remember seeing Schluters working, outstandingly fine machines
I can remember seeing them at the EAST OF ENGLAND SHOW at Peterborough show ground in the late 70’s. Quality kit.
Great video Mucker, the tractor was sounding great when put through it's paces . Like you said it's well engineered . Well done Mucker 👍🔧🚜
Nice to see something I don't think I will ever see in person. How that tractor pulled reminds me of my Minneapolis Moline g1050. My tractor has some flaws steering is bad, made worse when using the crude 3pt hitch that takes all the weight off the front even with just a semi-mounted plow, but when working a field she has the torque you want. Half the time you can be plowing at half throttle and speeding up the engine only makes it go a little faster.
It initially looks far older than 1981, but it was way ahead of its time in terms of visibility having the exhaust and air cleaner out of the way. You should record 30 minutes of nothing but the sound of the exhaust and id listen it going to sleep 😴 🤤
A fine machine for sure, was really looking forward to this video, Thank You Kurt and Puppo👌👍🙏🙂
Schluter we’re always one of those makers that intrigued me ever since I saw one on my top trumps top tractors. I’m glad you’ve found one to share with us. Thanks what a great video 😊👍🚜
What a remarkable tractor. And to hear the lift of your voice while explaining it, brings home the uniqueness and power of that tractor.
Thank you.
Schlüter has always been a bit of a hidden gem in the tractor world. way ahead of their time! rare classicks theese days! i wish to some day import one here to Norway. they were never sold here so that would be fun to have something that no one else has. Lovley video as always mucker! looking forward to seeing more of these ol girls
I've heard about Schlütter but never actually seen one. Very cool tractor! Definitely built for whatever the farm requires! 🚜 And I love that SOUND!
That’s how a tractor should sound and no electronics’ what’s not to like . Great video mucker
That looks like a wonderful example. i had never heard of them before so thank you for expanding my knowledge. Thanks again. How about the look of that soil. That farm looks great. Not a pebble turned over. Rock free farming at it's finest.
David Walston's Farming Diary 1 from 1980 has a couple of good shots of the 160HP Schluter, one of which is working a 25' set of Bush Hog discs with no problem.
Hello Lord Muck, GREAT VIDEO. I am so very glad that i seen your video on Schluter tractors. I never heard of them or ever seen one. Schluter tractors. look like thy were the best tractor at that time? And maybe even now? I wonder where they would be now if they were still making tractors? The best in the world? I live in the U.S. I have never seen one over here. But, that doesn't mean that somebody deosn't have one. Lord Muck I really enjoyed watching your video. And keep on making those great videos. and have a great and blessed day and god bless
Appreciate it 👌🏼
Ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of schlüter before. What an awesome piece of kit! We didn't even have 160hp tractors on the farm in the 2000s, my dad was proper old school....
I see it has evaporative cooling on the cab. A lot better than nothing but a long way behind AC. It’s one advantage was you could fix it yourself. I had a Massey header with water cooling on its cab, it would use easily 40 litres of water a day when it was working properly. When it wasn’t you would get a bath. AC was already basic equipment here by 1981. Jeff
god that tractor sounds fantastic !
That Schluter is a awesome tractor , you could see it was nearly pulling the grip out . Probably could do with some new tyres. Love the sliding doors , you can have them open and not worry about catching them on something. Excellent engineering . Great video , can't wait to hear that straight eight running.
If you think that's noisy, I took on the management of a large farm in Pembrokeshire and we had 2 Nuffield 4/65s with Cabcraft safety cabs . When you were flat out pulling a12ft disc harrow you could not hear yourself shouting. The cabs worked though as both tractors were rolled without damaging the cabs or drivers. 1 rolled down a steep ,almost vertical, bank wrapping a 24ft chain harrow around it. The driver scratched his hand on a bramble climbing back up the bank!
I'd never heard of them , Thanks for reviewing , It did seem tourquie while barely breathing.
I spent most of the video trying to remember the name Oliver Walston… My late father bought a Schluter from Brocks in the early 2000’s as a project. (Unfortunately never got to fix it up due to illness.) Think it originally came from the Walston farm. The hydraulic control levers were all missing and we never managed to source a replacement. I remember It would run but you got a nice fountain of oil inside the cab!!😂
Great video Mucka!! 👍
I had the experience of driving a Schulter 120/125hp tractor ( six cylinder but looked more like an 80hp tractor)back in the late eighties. Seemed to be a heavy tractor and the sloping front windscreen took some getting use to. It had plenty of room in the cab and sliding doors could be pain at times(no air con,hot weather and a field on a bank.Ok going up hill with doors open but down hill the doors wouldn’t stay open!) It was fast on the road as tractors go back in those days,perhaps it was fitted with a 40kph box?
It was one of those tractors that you put into gear, set the revs,lowered your implement into the ground and it would stay there at those revs/speed whatever the ground condition, nothing bothered it! A Zetor Crystal 12011 did the same.
There was also a 200hp Schulter at the same farm which when it was sold went to Holland. I don’t know what happen to the 120hp (1250 TV6 ?)one that I drove. I would like to think it’s been restored to show room condition and is still in UK but it is most likely to be the drain cover I drive past on a daily basis. Schulter tractors are still a very popular brand in Europe and keep their value.
I didnt even know that there are some Schlüters in the Uk ,fortunally there are some lonesome owners that like them , and share the same passion than in germany too....Use the Force Guys and fix it andhave a lot of fun , you lucky ones !!!Maybe you have the time to visit a Schlüter Feldtag in Germany , you will be more than embarrassed and you will see whats really going on back in times !!!
We popped to Bavaria recently to collect parts from Stefan Had and saw some stunning collections whilst there. We may get opportunity to attend the field day at Freising in September.
A very tidy looking classic which should adorn any "cool wall". can't wait to hear the 8 cylinder beast in action Mucka it's been a very good vid...👍
I first came across Schluter in France at a tractor fair and wanted one ever since.
What a machine! Very lucky to have a go, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Never heard of them ,never seen one!but what a machine!sounds gorgeous, thanks for showing us it Mucker 👍
Up here 🏴 a German guy bought a farm and he had a schluter in the 70s was lucky enough to spend an afternoon riding shotgun with the driver ploughing 💪 unfortunately no photos but remember being impressed with the turbo clutch couldn't stall it 😳 no idea if the tractor stayed in 🏴 or what happened to it 🤔 great video 👌
I think he had 2.
Be interesting see if we're talking about the same guy but not sure about naming the farm 🤔
A truly magnificent piece of agricultural engineering and history that also sounds great 👍🏻🏴
Never heard of Schlüter before certainly ahead of its time and very cool would love to see the straight 8 when its fired up thank you for sharing this rare beast!
I remember playing Tractor Top Trumps with my friends back in the early 80s .
Nobody wanted the Schluter card as we didn’t know what it was and it seemed old fashioned. In fact one lad just thought it was a big Fordson major with a Cab .
What a tractor! It certainly has been on the plus side for growing up with old tractors and machinery for me
Nice to see a rare tractor still going and being looked after
amazing,just reading about them in Classic Tractor.fantastic to see in action
Like many, a tractor that I've read about, great to see one at work, looking forward to seeing more of it and the 8 pot .
Man, she sounds nice.
It's only through yt in the last few year that I've heard of and seen them. Didn't know they were German.
Fantastic tractor! It would be great to see more of your content on a Schlüter!
Cheers
Thanks for sharing, what an amazing piece of kit. Even day is a school day for sure.
Now that is one serious piece of 80s German hardware ! Sounds amazing you can see it’s pulling like a train ! Hopefully when I’m over that way I might get to see it out and about making that glorious sound !
Great video Mucker 👍👍
What an awesome bit of kit, wouldn’t want to sit on it for a 15hr day but to get out and do a few acres, wow what fun
I really enjoyed seeing ,well a tractor built like a tank !!! Such a well engineered tractor, looks good, just loved the power aspect, I think it’s much better to have a huge power source , more torque at lower Revs 😃😃👍The sliding door was neat too, no faulty gas ram arm required there like on modern stuff !!! Looking forward to seeing the 8 cylinder tractor & D8 dozer when finished 😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍Thankyou for the video 😊
I had vever heard of Schluter until today. Amazing. When I was farming it was Fords, IH Masseys and DB. The exotics were Fendt and then Eastern Europe like Zetor, Belarus and Ursus..
Wow what an amazing machine. Looks from the 1970s but decades ahead of its time in capacity. German engineering at its very best. Can’t wait to see the straight 8 running
Great video, know exactly what you mean about “real power “ I guess us older ones will get it .
It’s good old fashioned gear sticks and levers, what else do you need 👌🏻👌🏻
They have quite a cult following over in Europe.
The low end torque looks like it’s unbelievable on that tractor. I’m from Nova Scotia Canada have been hooked on your channel for a couple years now great fun watching 👍
Cheers 👌🏼
Never heard of them before, I want one now. 👍
Ace video again.V nice tractor straight 8 looks awesome
Great video - an amazing piece of kit! Look forward to seeing it's big brother in action!
Another great watch thanks Mucker
What Fantastic Tractors I'd never heard of them till your video.
Very forward thinking design for something from 1981
Schluter sold up to LTS in 1996 I believe? They had the super and profi series (R series for UK) they made the eurotrac systems tractor in the 90s and didn't really take off, brilliant concept by the way. If you look for the LI-TRAC that should be some of the last engineering and use of schluter components on a tractor. The factory is now a shopping center and an early schluter resides in there.
Nice to know they haven't been forgotten 👌🏼
@@LordMuck the LI-Trac was a development from son of Liebherr and Anton Schluter helped him , hence why they bear the schluter bear on the grill and painted with the famous schluter silver. The project was eventually axed in 2011? (Don't quote me on that)
You also forgot about the party piece of the cab, with it tipping up on its own hydraulics!
Be patient... there's more to come
@@LordMuck looking forward to it! 👌👌👌
I'm not into tractors as a city boy in Berlin. I only come here on recommendation.. But I have to admit, I did get a smile in my face, Not least because I also have an VW 1980 Scirocco GTI and it doesn't want to fail either ...Thanks for the video, found it nice...
My pleasure 😉
It’s always good to see you’re implement when you’re ploughing 😂
Wow! Thanks for sharing with us 🙏
Legendary tractors! True german brute at work. Only 4 in the UK? Wow. I was told their might be at least 1, in Canada that some guy brought over from the EU. I've always wondered why they didn't sell so "well" as i am told besides having great comfort, a good bit of options and selections & really good high HP, for the standards of the day. Oh and yeah High price... But weren't they like "Rolls Royces" of German tractors? P.s Don't forget the V12s!!! Profi-Trac 5000 (1978 only) & 8000 (1980). I really do love my USA stuff, but my love is much more for the old German and EU style outweighs it.
Hello Kyle, 4 comments below I wrote something about Schlueter that answers some of your questions. The Profi Trac 2500VL from the year of construction 1976 with the serial number 1 - 240 DIN PS on the engine (approx. 280 SAE HP) with a fixed frame and steered axles such as IHC or Case 4WD tractors (no articulated joint) was taken to Canada by a German and also returned to Germany around the year 2000, where it was also restored, meanwhile such large Schlüter are traded between €300,000 and €500,000.
I also know of a Super 1500 TVL from Great Britain, which also returned to Germany between 1995 and 1997. We ourselves once had a Super 1500 TVL when we ordered spare parts we were also asked if we had it from Great Britain, we don't know if it was ever there or just stayed in Germany, the tractor was manufactured in 1979 and only in the spring of 1984 Delivered as a new vehicle in Austria. Excuse my bad English. greetings from Austria
Pure plain power at your foot..... a no frills tractor with heck of a cab 👌 Never seen one before but very interesting.
Another excellent video, I’m enjoying finding out about various tractors. Plus seeing them repaired & restored.
If I only had the space👍👍
What a beautiful sounding tractor. I have seen only one in my life
I'm sure I've got a sale's brochure for one .I collect when I was 16. Seem to remember the cab lifted for maintenance
Bet the straight 8 sounds gorgeous, remember the straight 8 Gardner diesel engines fitted in Atkinson, ERF and Foden trucks.
Never heard of them before this. While ìt was working I thought that it is a little workhorse, just keeps on going. German engineering at its finest.
We had one back in the eighties it was owned by John Watson in Ipswich . It was used on a massive home made trailer hauling sugar beet away from a Riecam RB230 harvester she never missed a beat and never got stuck
Schlüter Power Made in Germany 💪
That's the best sounding tractor I've ever heard
Can't wait to see and hear the 8 cyl beast pulling
Brilliant, a brand that passed me by. How I agree about the way Germans improve bit by bit,
Never seen one, only pictures. So thanks for the video. 👍
brilliant job as usual
They also made something called the euro trac…the engine was mounted under the cab and where the engine would of been was replaced with a huge weight of which could be moved forward’s hydraulically…what a machine!!!
Great video LM, what a machine that is, be nice to see the straight 8 in action too
Love that tractor mucker , but double please do one vid on the D8 cat , as well 👍🙏
Great Machine legendary German over engineering. True grit horsepower. These old tractors will pull modern over priced to stalling anyday. I saw them working at Triplow back in the eighties. Reminds me of the old Claas Dominator 85 combine, ugly as hell, only 120 Merc horse power, noisy square headed cab with that awful water cooler that pissed water down your neck when hitting a bump on a ploughed in winter bean headland, but as tough as old boot and build like a brick toilet with superb quality steel. just like K98 snipers rifle!
Brilliant video and some design for the time frame it was built thanks Mucker
Cracking vid Mr Muck! Theres a 1250 Schluter in a shed not to far from me, not to many folk know how much of a good tractor they were back in the day! awsome tractor Do well!
Great video Kurt, looking forward to see more videos on the schluter .
Interesting tractor n rest of the range but unicorn for us Australians. I would like to see more these tractors at work👍
I remember seeing a 200 hp one in peacock and Binningtons yard at brigg could be the same tractor. Really enjoyed this video 👍👍
Yes it probably was.
Brings back some great memories for me as had a 160hp 6 cylinder one what i worked on during yts years 94/95 the fluid flywheel clutch was certainly different as far as im aware its still parked up it stayed after there full farm sale
Some machine, great video.
was thinking it was a huge tractor for its day, unusual looking too, cab looks massive.
Schlüter sold most of the big ones over 250 horse to jugoslawia . when the war started in juguslawia this marked broke down. Thats one reason , then ZF stoped producing the large powershift the 2500 and above had so schlüter had to build their own one , ended in the 9 speed elektric full powershift , they used it in the Supertronic types . but to figure out and build was expensive for schlüter.
Yes there where a nice number of Schluter tractors in ex-Yu. In my village (eastern Croatia),4 where bought brand new in early '70s,120-140hp. They where working hard up to late '90s..often 2 months, in 2 shifts day/night..
