Anton Schlüter AS160 – single-cylinder small tractor of the AS range from Munich (1957–1959): water-cooled diesel with 1,506 cm³ displacement, 11.7 kW/16 hp
The AS160 from the AS range was built by Anton Schlüter in Munich between January 1957 and April 1959; the initials AS in the name refer to the Anton Schlüter brand itself. After the early wartime models, Anton Schlüter continued tractor production in the 1950s with new, civilian-oriented ranges, among them the AS range.

The AS160 is powered by a water-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine with 1,506 cm³ displacement, producing 11.7 kW or 16 hp at 1,500 rpm. The machine is 2,525 mm long, 1,580 mm wide and 1,585 mm high, has a wheelbase of 1,650 mm, weighs 1,300 kg and reaches 19.4 km/h.
At 19.4 km/h, the AS160 falls into driving licence category L. As a single-cylinder small tractor of the late 1950s, it was built for smaller farms, at a time when Anton Schlüter was already working in parallel on more powerful multi-cylinder tractors.
On this single-cylinder tractor, now over sixty years old, check the injection pump and starter motor, the frame and sheet metal for corrosion, and the smooth operation of the steering and brakes; parts are now only available through collector circles and specialist suppliers. Since original parts for this range barely exist any more, it is worth carefully checking before purchase which components have already been replaced with reproductions or parts from other manufacturers.

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.
