1 model in this series
290 (Jubiläumsserie series) by Steyr Daimler Puch: four-cylinder diesel engine rated at 36.8 kW (50 hp), built in 1966 and 1967.
Steyr-Daimler-Puch was the Austrian multi-industry group under which Steyr's tractor production ran until the 1980s, before the division became independent. The 1960s model line known as the Jubiläumsserie represented the compact power class of that time.

The 290 is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,017 cm³ displacement, delivering 36.8 kW (50 hp) at 2,400 rpm. At an unladen weight of 1,970 kg, a wheelbase of 2,015 mm and a top speed of 28 km/h, the tractor is a light, manoeuvrable representative of the mid-1960s class, at a ratio of just over 53 kg of weight per kW.
Four-cylinder tractors of this power class handled the usual field work of small and mid-sized farms in the 1960s: ploughing, harrowing, and driving implements through a power take-off that was not yet fully standardised across manufacturers at the time. Hauling the harvest on simple trailers was also part of the daily routine for machines like this on a small mixed farm. The low unladen weight eased work on heavier soils without excessive ground pressure.
On a used 290 from the 1960s, the condition of the engine and gearbox after decades of use matters most: oil leaks at crankshaft and gearbox seals, clutch wear, and the state of the electrics are the usual weak points on machines of this considerable age.
