1978 500HP V12 Schlueter Profi-Trac 5000 TVL

It does not look loke an oldtimer, but it is; In Germany, there is one brand name, when You speak about great tractors; SCHLUETER. Up to the early 1990ies Schlueter was the only manufacturer, who produced tractors above 150HP. The picture shows the only prototype of the SCHLUETER PROFI-TRAC 5000 TVL. With 500 HP (powered by a M.A.N V-12 Diesel) this tractor from 1978 is in Europe the first and (up to now) the last ever built tractor with this high power. Today this prototype is owned by a private person and coninues working. Schlueter produced a low number of tractors at a power rate of up to 320HP from the 1970ies up to the early 1990ies, where the production ended. Schlueter Standard-tractors and the 4WDtypes called Profi-Trac and Super-Trac stand for tractor-technology at its best Made in Germany. Most of Schlueter-Tractors ever made are working up to now! The brand-label of Schlueter was a bear and the blue-white flag of Bavaria. This page has been sent in memorial of Dr. h.c. Anton Schlueter, the man who made this technology live and all them who do anything to keep the memory of Schlueter alive.
