John Deere Loader

I purchased this John Deere front loader for my 3 year old grandson. It was one of the best investments. He loved it. The look on his face when we gave it to him was just priceless. We purchased the trailer that dumps to go with it and had a load of dirt delivered to my son's house. My grandson had a great time, filling the trailer up with dirt then taking it out back and dumping it to fill the holes. Then coming back and playing on the dirt pile, then going back to filling the trailer. My grandson and I had the best time.

We bought this for our 2 year old grandson. He's really impressed with the real thing (Grandpa's big John Deere) so we were happy that this toy has a very realistic appearance. He was thrilled and had to fight his 5 year old sister for driving rights. He's not quite mastered the pedals, but he is already in love with it. On the negative side, the assembly instructions were pathetic. My farmer husband and I (collision repair center manager) took 2.5 hours to assemble the toy. Maybe ours was a little 'off', but even if the parts had assembled easily, which they didn't, we would have had to backtrack to get the decals on properly. Then, after it was together, the grandson found out by accident how to lower the bucket. I highly recommend this toy, but allow plenty of time to assemble and have your common sense turned on.

I bought this tractor for my grandson's 4th birthday and he just loves it! I was so pleased to see that he really can pedal on grass and dirt as they said. Those large tires in the back make it possible. He loves to collect leaves and dump them at another part of the yard. I would not recommend this for a child who is small for his age. My grandson is tall and can just reach the handle to work the bucket.

I got this for our grandson who is 3 years old and he just loves it. I was very happy with the solid construction and the chain drive.
The colors are vibrant and with the decals it looks like the real deal.
Shipment was prompt and overall a good experience.

We got this tractor for our son when he was three. Unfortunately, he was too short to pedal and use the dumper at the same time, he just couldn't reach. He got so frustrated when he would try to reach for the dumper handle. The seat is adjustable, but only two different positions. The left pedal broke completely off within a month, and it took three months to get one in the mail (of course they are special types, so you can't just run down to the hardware store to buy a new one). They just kept us waiting! Meanwhile, my son had the entire summer tractorless. After the pedal was replaced, the dump basket came off. We gave up on reordering a new one, and he rode it without the dumper. He rode this tractor until he was six, by sitting on the backrest with his rearend overhanging the tractor. He was too tall for it then, but wouldn't give it up. We finally sold it in a garage sale, and got a good price for it, even after all those years, and still without the dumper part. My son still remembers riding this tractor, and we have lots of cute pictures of him on it. If the parts weren't so hard to get in the mail, I would really recommend this to all smaller boys, but until they start mailing things on a timely manner, it's extremely frustrating! This tractor has a chain drive inside the casing, so you can't see the chain itself unless you take off the bottom of the tractor. Also, you have to take off the bottom of the tractor in order to adjust the seat position too. Fun for all kids, even girls!
