Introduction
Schluter S350: Technical Overview
The Schluter S350 is a utility tractor produced between 1963 and 1966. Designed for small to medium-sized agricultural operations, this model emphasizes mechanical simplicity and versatility through its configurable drivetrain and power delivery systems.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2.9-liter, 3-cylinder engine, designated as the SD 100 W 3. It delivers a rated power output of 34 horsepower (25.4 kW) at 1800 engine RPM. The engine is characterized by a peak torque of 147.0 Nm (108.4 lb-ft) at 1200 RPM, providing sufficient low-end lugging ability for standard field tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The mechanical transmission offers an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse gear arrangement. The tractor was standard as a 4x2 2WD model, with an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) configuration available to enhance traction in challenging soil conditions. Steering is purely mechanical.
Hydraulics and PTO
The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, allowing the use of various implements. The rear three-point hitch provides a standard lift capacity of 2,205 lbs (1000 kg), with an optional configuration increasing this capacity to 2,977 lbs (1350 kg).
Dimensions and Weight
The S350 has a wheelbase of 199 cm and a total length of 343 cm. The weight varies based on the drivetrain configuration, with the 2WD model weighing approximately 1,840 kg and the 4WD variant weighing 2,000 kg. Braking is handled by a drum brake system.
Conclusion
The Schluter S350 remains a functional example of mid-1960s agricultural engineering. Its combination of a 34 hp engine, multiple PTO speeds, and optional 4WD capability makes it a balanced choice for light tillage, transport, and maintenance work on smaller farm holdings.
