Massey Ferguson 290

The Massey Ferguson 290, available in both two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations, was a versatile utility tractor produced by Massey Ferguson between 1983 and 1986. Equipped with a four-cylinder Perkins A4.248 diesel engine, the tractor was well-suited for a variety of tasks on the farm. It delivered 80 horsepower and had a displacement of 248 cubic inches. With options for manual or Multi-Power transmissions, operators could choose between a basic 8-forward and 2-reverse gear system, or a more advanced 12-forward and 4-reverse gear setup, which included a two-speed power shift. The Massey Ferguson 290 had a hydrostatic power-assisted steering system, providing easy and responsive handling. The tractor’s design embraced practicality, featuring an open operator station, with the option for an enclosed cabin, and a rugged, sturdy build for reliable farming operations.
