Visiting Had & Buchner Gbr. Thinking you're half an hour away there, quickly turned into 2 hours.... You don't talk to a former Factory Service Mechanic every day either :D. This Profi Trac 2500VL, a former Bundeswehr tractor, was in his shed, waiting to be further restored. Stefan Had and Robert Buchner set up a company after the closure of the Schlüter factory in Freising, with the main purpose of service and parts supply for Schlüter tractors. It was in those "golden days" that you had to buy Schlüter tractor because most wanted to get rid of them, afraid of not getting parts. H & B bought Schlüter tractors en masse at that time, which they restored and resold. Stefan said that at times there were even more than 10 Schlüters in the yard, waiting for their restoration. Later, when prices rose, this became much less. Meanwhile, the company "Zentralschmiertechnik" had also started up, which took on the maintenance of construction machinery. Now there is 1 mechanic working full-time on the maintenance and restoration of Schlüter tractors, and some others are working at the maintenance company for construction machinery. Freising, September 2013.
