5.0 out of 5 stars Bruder Toys, January 2, 2004

This review is from: CATERPILLAR Grader (Toy)

Our 3 1/2 year old loves all the Bruder trucks. They may be made out of plastic but, they are still very tuff. Our son sits on them without any problems. We love the detail of all of vehicles. It makes learning about heavy equipment fun. All of the vehicles have working parts and Bruder's attention to detail is unsurpassed. The small details adds intererst and play time longevity to the toys. Our son plays with them every day and knows the difference between quaility constructed toys and cheap toys. The wheels get pulled off of other brand trucks and put into the dump truck bed of the Brueder. Brueder is the only brand that we will buy! These are not flawed third world country plastic toys. All parts are made and assembled in Germany! The cement mixer is next on his wish list.

1.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Plastic . . . Not Exactly, November 18, 2003

This review is from: CATERPILLAR Grader (Toy)

Purchased this for a 3 1/2 year old boy. Was hesitant about buying any large, plastic truck, but we did not see any alternatives at the time we purchased this. We should have stuck with our instinct. When it arrived, we were immediately struck by the fact that the plastic seemed flimsy, and that many small plastic pieces that are attached to the grader appeared and felt so cheap and flimsy that we doubted they would survive 5 minutes of play, in our humble opinion. We were not going to wait to find out, and we decided to send this back. You can get a STEEL Tonka 18" grader off of ebay for less than what Amazon is asking for this plastic thing. That's exactly what we did. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun in the sand, July 23, 2010

This is a great toy with a lot of working features (which the equivalant Tonka toy doesn't have). This is a cool toy to play with at the beach, and won't end up rusting from exposure to the salt water and air. Its size is probably one of its best features, and with all the adjustment options wou can "engineer" several different road profiles. I have pretty much all the Bruder Cat equipment and everyone who sees them in my Man Cave marvels over the details and want to play with them. So far all the models have survived the all handling by the "adult kids"..."
