Anton Schlüter München

Anton Schlüter München was a German tractor manufacturer in the region of Munich, Bavaria.

In 1910, new buildings were constructed by the architects Jakob Heilmann and Max Littmann.A year later, Schlüter built a test area, the so-called Schlüterhof.

When Anton Schlüter (junior) took over business after the death of his father in 1949, he decided not to rebuild the facilities in Munich.

Starting in the year 1964, Schlüter specialized in tractors of the upper power range of up to 320 PS.

Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four equal-sized wheels, represented by the Super Trac series.

The more upmarket Profi Trac series also featured four equal-sized wheels, but in addition to that, had rear-wheel steering.

For instance, the MB-trac or Fendt GT were considered as system tractors, also the Unimog or the Fastrac.

The letter S stands for Schlüter whilst the bear signifies endurance, power and heavy duty working ability.

The windscreens were inclined in the opposite sense, similar to the driver's platform of a combine harvester.

In December 1993, Schlüter finished its production at the plant in Freising except the Euro Trac series.

Landtechnik Schönebeck, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery in the former German Democratic Republic, the Euro Trac was produced in Eastern Germany.

Today, the Egelseer company is the general supplier of spare parts and also an advisor in any technical matters in regards to Schlüter tractors.

Nowadays, a large number of the remaining tractors are regarded as individually valuable and are repaired and maintained very well.
