Schlüter Compact 850 V: water-cooled four-cylinder tractor rated at 58.6 kW and 3,265 kg weight from the SF 4800 VS range
Schlüter was a German tractor manufacturer based in Freising in Bavaria, building a wide power range from the 1930s until it ceased tractor production in 1993, from compact single-cylinders to the high-output large tractors it later became known for. The SF 4800 VS range, with the Compact 850 V model, represents the mid-power segment of the 1970s and early 1980s.

The Compact 850 V is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder engine of 4,719 cc, producing 58.6 kW (80 hp) at 1,800 rpm with 343 Nm of torque. At a weight of 3,265 kg, a wheelbase of 2,346 mm and a width of 2,051 mm, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 27.4 km/h. Height stands at 2,330 mm and length at 3,940 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A water-cooled four-cylinder of this power class marks a medium-heavy field tractor of the 1970s, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work on mid-sized farms. The 27.4 km/h top speed falls within the L driving licence category, the power take-off runs at the standard 540 or 1,000 rpm, and the three-point hitch follows ISO 730.
Buying a tractor of this era, the injection system, the cooling system and hydraulic tightness deserve particular attention. Also worth checking at inspection are the sheet metal for rust damage, the condition of the PTO bearings and weighing recorded hours against overall condition.
