Schlüter Profi Trac-Baureihe

9 models in this series

The Profi Trac-Baureihe series from Schlüter comprises 9 models. Rated output ranges from 160 to 320 hp.

Schlüter Profi Trac (1978–1993) – the systems tractor from Freising: 1600 TVL to 5000 TVL, the number as power class, V for four-wheel drive, T for turbocharger, Schlüter and MAN engines of 7.1 to 20.9 litres

The Profi Trac was Schlüter's answer to the question of what a tractor beyond 150 hp should look like: not an enlarged standard tractor but a systems vehicle with four equal wheels, all-wheel steering, centrally mounted cab and mounting spaces front and rear – the Freising maker presented it in 1978 and built it until the end of tractor production in 1993. The type logic: the number gives the power class in tenths of hp – Profi Trac 1600 about 160 hp, 2500 250 hp, 5000 500 hp – V stands for four-wheel drive, T for the turbocharger (the VL versions are the naturally aspirated variants). The engines are Schlüter's own five- and six-cylinders in the smaller models, MAN engines in the big ones up to the V12 of 20.9 litres in the 5000 TVL, the most powerful tractor ever series-built in Germany; the register span of 5 to 12 cylinders and 7,127 to 20,911 cm³ shows that breadth.

The register lists 9 versions with 117.1 to 368 kW, unladen weights from 9,000 to 18,000 kg, lengths from 5,670 to 6,450 mm, widths from 2,450 to 2,720 mm and heights from 3,160 to 3,460 mm.

The Profi Trac remained a niche product for contractors, large farms and municipal use, but its concept lived on: Fendt Xylon, JCB Fastrac and Claas Xerion followed the idea of the systems tractor.

Used Profi Tracs are collectors' items with prices depending on condition; engine (MAN parts are better available than Schlüter parts), transmission and all-wheel steering, hydraulics, cab and sheet metal count.
