Schluter Super 850: The 85 HP Workhorse That Defined an Era

Step back in time with the Schluter Super 850, a tractor that blended robust German engineering with the demanding needs of mid-70s agriculture. Produced between 1971 and 1976, this machine wasn't just a tractor; it was a statement of power and reliability, ready to tackle any task on the farm. Let's dive into what made the Super 850 a legend.

Heart of the Beast: Powerful 6-Cylinder Engine

Under the hood, the Super 850 boasts an impressive 85 hp engine, a true powerhouse for its time. This 6-cylinder marvel displaces 388.8 cubic inches (6.4 L), with a bore and stroke of 4.094x4.921 inches [104 x 125 mm]. Operating efficiently at a rated 1800 RPM, this engine ensures consistent power delivery for everything from plowing to harvesting.

Versatile Drivetrain and Steering

Whether you prefer the simplicity of 2WD or the enhanced traction of optional 4WD MFWD, the Super 850 adapts. Its mechanical/power assist steering system provides precise control, making maneuvering in tight spaces or across challenging terrain a breeze. Reliable drum brakes ensure you can stop with confidence, no matter the load.

Hydraulic Might and PTO Prowess

This tractor is ready to work with your implements, thanks to a total hydraulic flow of 6.9 gpm [26.1 lpm]. The rear PTO is equally capable, offering 540/975 settings to match a wide array of power take-off driven machinery. Coupled with a substantial rear lift capacity of 7,056 lbs [3200 kg] (with an optional 9,922 lbs [4500 kg]), the Super 850 is built for serious agricultural work.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Weight

The Super 850 is a substantial machine, measuring 171.7 inches [436 cm] in length with a wheelbase of 107.1 inches (2WD) [272 cm]. Its imposing height of 98.8 inches [250 cm] and a weight of approximately 8,974 lbs (2WD) [4070 kg] speak to its robust construction. The tire configurations, including Ag front 7.50-20 (2WD) or 11.2-24 (4WD) and Ag rear 16.9-34, are designed for optimal grip and stability.

Transmission: Control at Your Fingertips

With a well-thought-out transmission offering 12 forward and 6 reverse gears, the Super 850 provides the perfect speed for every operation. This gear selection ensures you can precisely match the tractor's pace to the task at hand, maximizing efficiency and productivity in the field.

Conclusion

"The Schluter Super 850 is more than just a vintage tractor; it's a testament to enduring quality and practical design. For farmers seeking a reliable, powerful machine from a bygone era, the Super 850 offers a compelling blend of performance and classic appeal. It remains a respected piece of agricultural machinery, embodying the spirit of hard work and dedication."
