Anton Schlüter Abt Schlepperbau München DS – early two-cylinder range: DS 25 and DSU, 18 kW at 1,500 rpm, 3,116 cm³ displacement, unladen weight 1,900 kg, length 3,100 mm
Under the register designation Anton Schlüter Abt Schlepperbau München DS, the register lists the DS 25 and DSU models, two early two-cylinder tractors of the Munich brand from the 1950s, well before the much later, very powerful large tractors for which Schlüter became known from the 1970s onward. Both models share identical engine and dimension figures here.

The register lists here 2 versions of 18 kW each, from a two-cylinder of 3,116 cm³ at 1,500 revolutions per minute. Unladen weight is 1,900 kg, length 3,100 mm, width 1,600 mm and height 1,650 mm.
Two-cylinder tractors of this power class, around 24 hp, covered the mid-range demand of farming operations in the 1950s that needed more pulling power than a small single-cylinder tractor but could not or did not yet want to run a large four-cylinder farm tractor.
On a used DS 25 or DSU, the condition and compression of the two-cylinder, the tightness of the cooling system and injection pump, the state of the gearbox and steering, and corrosion on the frame and mudguards matter; given the considerable age, a thorough technical inspection before returning it to service is essential.
When it was introduced in the 1950s, a tractor such as the DS 25 belonged to a generation that predated the international standardisation of power take-off speed and three-point linkage geometry, which only became settled in later decades as 540 and 1,000 revolutions per minute and the ISO 730 standard; implements of that period were often matched to the individual maker's own system.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
