Schlüter Schlepper im Einsazt (Schluter tractors at work) by Peter Glienke andManfred Hierlager.
Lots of Color pics. Schwungrad-Verlag.
I really like this book. It is in german, but that really does not matter much beacause except for a foreword and author introduction there really is not a lot of text. Each page of this book includes a beautifull picture of one or many Schluter tractors at work. Each picture also have a little text explaining the operation and the model of the tractor. These are not painted and polished hobby tractors restored to a state far beyond when they left the factory. These are FARM TRACTORS!
Old Schlüters, new Schlüters. Super tracs and Euro Tracs. 31 hp Schlüters to the 500 hp Schlüter 5000 TVL prototype (still biggest tractor buildt in Europe?). Schlüters on RowCrop tyres and Schlüters with Terra tyres. Tricycle Schlüters. Schlüters with all sorts of implements. Toolcarrier Schlüters. High-Speed Schlüters. etc. etc. etc.
I like the Schlüter brand. I think they have had a lot of interesting ideas through the years. I also think they made some of the best looking tractors ever. When other manufacturers designs might have been inspired by sportscars, Schluter tractors give the impression of having their design inspired by an old Castle or Cahtedral. I would like to know more about the history of the brand than is included in this book, but thats OK. This is a beautifull picture book. I can read somewhere else (and in my case, that process would be a lot faster if the text was not in German).
Ich finde diese Buch Sehr Gut.
