Reference 15" Cat Backhoe

The two grandchildren just love this toy. The sound effects it has is just wonderful for them. They say it is just like Daddy's backhoe that is in the back yard. I would recommend it very highly. Made of plastic and it won't get rusty.

This backhoe was great! I didn't even know it made construction sounds until I received it. My son loves it and and plays with it all the time. The only drawback may be when the weather warms up & it goes outside - I'm not sure if the "sound" will hold up, but it is well worth the price.

Bought this backhoe at Target last night. This morning, my son found it and was so excited. Very difficult to unpack. Had to use my electric screwdriver to take off 8 screws from bottom of packaging. The noises that the toy made irritated my son, and he asked me to remove the batteries (4 AA batteries). We have many battery operated toys that make noises, but this one is particularly obnoxious.

Took the toy out to the sandbox today at the park, and son played with it about 5 minutes, then went on to other activities. It still had a tag on the lever reading "pull to activate." I pulled and the small plastic lever cracked. I noticed the whole toy was stiff and the buckets hardly moved at all, perhaps because of the plastic plates on sides that appear to have been added for finger protection. In any case, this toy was a major disappointment, and am returning to store tomorrow.

All plastic, not thrilled with it. I got a truck for him too that was from a different maker and much better quality. He does play with this sometimes, but likes the truck mnuch more.

My boy dropped this off of a small kid table, about 14" off the floor, and broke one of the hydraulic cylinder rams. No problem, everything else works fine. Then, a few weeks later, the bucket won't lift/lower. Nice.

It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long. My three-year-old got a total of about 3 play hours with this. I wouldn't recommend it.

I bought this front end loader and backhoe for my 2 yr old grandson for Christmas 2009. He played with it very often, learned what the 8 different buttons were for.
The batteries lasted one year; but they still work for a few of the features.
I shall replace them so every feature works.

My son has it and he loves it. Got it when he was three and he still plays with it a year later. Motorized moves backward and forward, durable, light and sounds. Really fun toy to have. My 16 months age daughter is crazy about it too. We have no problem with it. Guest kids who comes over to our home always play with it too. Truly a winner!

Bought this item for my 2 year old nephew,and it was also a hit. It still withstands the tortures of a 2 yr old, and continues to work just fine. Overall a great toy for the money $20. makes all sorts of noises and construction sounds. comes with batteries too :)
