Schlüter 1050 V Special: six-cylinder large tractor rated at 80.5 kW, 7.1-litre displacement and 5,300 kg weight from the Special range
Schlüter was a German tractor manufacturer based in Freising in Bavaria, building tractors from the 1930s until it ceased production in 1993, known during the 1980s chiefly for its high-output large tractors. The Special range, with the 1050 V Special model, belonged to this upper power segment.

The 1050 V Special is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder engine of 7,127 cc, producing 80.5 kW (110 hp) at 1,800 rpm with 452 Nm of torque. At a weight of 5,300 kg, a wheelbase of 2,720 mm and a width of 2,360 mm, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 33.5 km/h. Height stands at 2,845 mm and length at 4,670 mm. The engine runs on diesel.
A six-cylinder of more than seven litres marks a heavy field tractor, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work demanding high pulling force on larger farms. The 33.5 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, typically carrying category 2 implements at this weight.
Buying a used six-cylinder this heavy from the 1980s, 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.
