The Schlüters of the Super series remained in production with minor changes until the 1990s. Their appearance dated back to the early 1960s, but this did not harm the brand’s position as the most esteemed brand on the market. However, sales figures gradually declined year by year. Compared to the sales volume, there was an impressive range of model options and equipment possibilities. For example, more lifting power was often available at an extra cost, and the turbine clutch was either standard or optional depending on the model. The 1050 came standard with push-arm sensing and had pull-arm sensing as an option, which was standard on larger models.

In spring 1974, a hydraulically tiltable Super-Silence cab was introduced for the 1250 V model. It wasn't available for the 1050 until 1978. The gear levers were moved to the side, and the controls were otherwise updated. In 1978, the cab was widened. In 1981, a 40 km/h transmission and a new front axle equipped with a lock were introduced. The 1250 VL had a friction lock as standard since 1974. In 1981, the 130-horsepower 1250 VL Special was launched, and a year later, the 110-horsepower 1050 V Special followed. In 1986, a 50 km/h version with 24+10 gears became available. A power lift with electrical control was available as an optional extra from 1988 onwards. In 1990, the wheelbase was extended.

In 1989, the Super 1250 VL-LS and the corresponding Special model were introduced. These featured a 24+12 transmission with a 2-speed quick-shift taken from the larger model range, available in both 40 km/h and 50 km/h versions.

Between 1991 and 1993, 5 units of the Super 1300 fitted with MAN engines (130 hp) were produced, and in 1993, 6 units of the Super 1400 (135 hp) were manufactured. These models had a turbocharged 6.9-liter engine. The rest of the technology was consistent with the Super 1250.

In the 1980s, the Schlüters of the Super series were only slightly more expensive than “ordinary” tractors of the same power class and clearly cheaper than Fendt Favorites.
