multi-purpose tractor
Without context any answer is a guess. 'System' in this combination is frequently used in German to denote 'capable of operation with a variety of attachments comprising a 'system'.
Of course any tractor is capable of operation with a variety of attachments, so its really superfluous to say 'multi-purpose', but if you just call it a tractor your client will probably not be satisfied.

Note from asker:
| I have not heard back from the client and this client happens to be very persnickety. I suspect I'd have heard back if "Multi-Purpose" were grievously wrong...a round-about way of saying I think you got it right. Thanks :-) |

Note from asker:
| Hi "fbbest": I'd noted the Linguee translation before posting my query to Proz. "System hauler" is just not something I've ever seen used to describe a tractor and strikes me as the "Linguee" translator's personal invention. Indeed the only example in English I could find of "System Hauler" to describe a tractor is precisely the one example cited by Linguee. |
| Thanks for the assist, all the same :-) |

: You can't quote one person's translation from Linguee, which is often unreliable, and give it a 5

Dear Colleague, I appraciated your solutions many times. However in this case, I can but disagree, as I reckon this solution brilliant and perfectly fitting in this context

"The tractors of the Agrolux 80/85/90/95/100 series are simple, efficient and reliable multi-role tractors, conceived to deliver the best performance and productivity in the 80 to 100 hp class."
Lamborghini (yes, they make tractors as well, just like the DB in Aston Marting stands for David Brown tractors):
"R1 is the new frontier for the small tractor segment and is a concentrated package of energy and design. Compact and agile with the indomitable spirit of a much more powerful machine. Multi-role versatility with generous standard equipment and a complete range of accessories catering for a wide variety of applications and compact dimensions perfect for working in restricted spaces.Practical and fast but also extremely reliable with unbeatable traction and stability even on gradients.

"Thirdly, modern agricultural tractors have
a multi-role capability which is appropriate for working
in a developmental environment."
and
Fortunately the versatility and the multi-role capability
of the basic agricultural tractor, provides existing tractor
owners with a clear competitive advantage over owners
using equipment with only a single role capability such
as trucks or heavy civil engineering equipment. Tractors
can move freely between different business sectors, and
to the remotest locations, undertaking a range of
activities from land preparation, harvesting, processing,
transport, road construction and maintenance, earth dam
construction and forestry. Such versatility reduces the
risks for the tractor owner because he is not dependant
upon one client and can maximise his tractor utilisation
throughout the year, and hence his profit."
