SCHLUTER COMPACT 550 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Schluter Compact 550 features a 3-cylinder SDM 108 W diesel engine with a displacement of 3.4 L, delivering 58 hp at 2100 RPM and a peak torque of 173.3 lb-ft at 1300 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. The bore and stroke of 4.331 x 4.921 inches suggest a well-balanced engine design that can offer good fuel efficiency alongside reliable torque support for various implements. However, with a relatively low rated RPM, it may not be ideal for high-speed applications, potentially limiting its versatility in certain high-demand scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Schluter Compact 550 features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, providing versatile gear selection for various field applications. This gear range enables efficient operation at different speeds, ideal for tasks such as plowing, mowing, or transport. However, the lack of a more extensive gear system may pose limitations in highly variable terrain scenarios or when swift changes in speed are required.

8 forward and 4 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Schluter Compact 550 features a versatile 4x2, 2WD/4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction options, especially in varied field conditions. The mechanical/power-assisted steering allows for improved maneuverability, though it may lack the precision of fully hydraulic systems, which can be a challenge in tight spaces. Its 8-speed transmission offers flexibility in optimal speed management for various agricultural tasks, but may require skill to coordinate effectively across different terrains.

SCHLUTER COMPACT 550 TIRES
The Schluter Compact 550, equipped with 6.00-19 (2WD) or 7.2-24 (4WD) front tires and 12.4-32 rear tires, offers versatile traction options suitable for various farming conditions. The 4WD configuration enhances stability and traction, particularly in challenging terrains, while the relatively narrow front tires can reduce soil compaction. However, the 2WD option may limit maneuverability and traction in soft ground, making it less ideal for wet or uneven fields.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Schluter Compact 550's 78.7-inch wheelbase offers stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for both tight agricultural spaces and varied terrain. Weighing between 5931 to 6593 pounds, this tractor maintains ground traction while reducing the risk of soil compaction, beneficial for crop health. However, the relatively narrow front tires (6.00-19) might limit optimal floatation in muddy conditions, necessitating careful operation during adverse weather.
