nathan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 i use to drive a 290 like that when i was 16. i remember that you could never bump start it in the steep as the engine had to be running to stay in 4wd as it wasn't manual 4wd. great tractor in the steep as you were sat down low, better than the 590 we had .
