Not having heard the word ‘Schlüter’ before we thought it was most likely to be a promiscuous spring break German college girl, but it turns out that Schlüter was actually a Bavarian manufacturer of high-powered tractors, founded way back in 1898. The brand survived right up until the reunification of Germany, but sadly went bankrupt in 1993, ending almost 100 years of tractor production.

This lovely Model Team replica of Schlüter’s classic 1500 TVL tractor has been built by previous bloggee Bobofrutx. It features a range of working functions which can be seen in more detail on Flickr – click this link to make the jump.
