toys John Deere Ride-On: 360-Degree Excavator Shovel/Digger, Youth Ages 3+

This i product is great. It seems like the German manufactures have branding deals with lots of excavator manufacturers as we saw one at the store that was CAT yellow, then we found this one online that really is John Deere green. Both my kids love it and cant wait for spring summer and fall to get it digging- Why is there a rating for remote control? This thing is all manual.Pros-Kids run to it-easy for kids 3+ to operate maybe even 2+, but I dont know yet-Really looks like an excavator-the wheels and axles are sturdy and dont worry me for failure-varying sizes of screws and bolts with one size of screw driver needed, simplifying the assembly process-directions were average or slightly above average to follow-rolls smoothly-took 3yo two tries to figure out the locking mechanism on the excavator armcons-very large, so it takes up a lot of space inside the house, when its not being played with-hammering the "hubs" on the axles to hold the wheels on was awkward, and took the most misses before they were on, all in all not terrible for what they are though-could have come with 3 to 5 more stickers to add to the Deere / excavator aesthetic-the excavator arm is very flexible / thin worried it might break too easily of the 3yo digs too hard-the bucket is also thinner plastic and it might break tooupdate to come in springLOVE LOVE LOVE

It took some time to put it together. It is very sturdy but a little hard to maneuver once my grandson is sitting on it . May take some time before he gets use to it. It actually has controls that make it fun to play in the sand .

This was a very cheap product for namebrand and price

Assembly photos were too focused and difficult to understand. This was a three-hour assembly.

My 3 year old Grandson loves this John Deere excavator. Assembly didn’t take long. It came in very sturdy packaging. The excavator is very well made-it is very rugged.The only con is the seat is slippery. We took care of that by placing small felt chair pads on the seat. A great toy! I would buy again.

My tractor/machine loving son is obsessed with this. He’s been using it in the house picking up cars until the nice weather and he can bring it outside and really get to use it

My 3 year old grandson really liked playing with this, however, it’s broken now. One of the plastic handles to raise and lower the bucket has snapped off, see photo.

Perfect size and great toy for kids
