WIKING 087503 - Schlüter Super 1250 VL black

Model details

The number of fans remains huge to this day – the red Schlüter tractors are legendary. Especially when they are exceptionally black, as WIKING is now presenting the Schlüter Super 1250 VL. Although production at the headquarters in Freising ended in 1993 after more than 45,000 tractors had been produced, the story of the powerful Schlüter tractors is by no means over. The model designation within the powerful "Super" series was easy to explain: The "1250" stood for the 125 hp six-cylinder engine, the "V" for all-wheel drive, and the "L" for the extended version – recognizable by the vertical ventilation area on the side hood. Thus, when series production began in the summer of 1972, the Super 1250 VL weighed in at 5.2 tons. Schlüter continually updated it over the years, before the last Super 1250 VL left the factory in the summer of 1991, and in the "special" version in June 1993. Known as the "Schlüter Traktomobil," the accompanying full-view driver's cab quickly became popular in the agricultural sector because of its wide doors, which allowed for convenient entry from the side. The innovative hatchback design also allowed the driver unhindered operation of attached agricultural machinery. This made the model for the WIKING miniature model ahead of its time: the cab was the first to feature sliding doors. The model makers used the first cab version, which still had a built-over hood, as their model.
