I ordered this toy for my 5 year old who loves diggers and was looking for ages for a backhoe with treads. He played with it for less than an hour. Instantly I had to replace the treads. Replacing the treads quickly escalated into putting the arm mechanism back together. Finally, honestly in less than an hour, the arm just fell completely off. My son is not a rough player. He was playing indoors and not in real sand or dirt and this toy was not at all worth the price.

This is a very small toy. Equivalent to matchbox car size. We did not fully appreciate this until it arrived. It is a nice looking, well built toy, though the tread comes off pretty easily and could be lost or thrown out as they resemble rubber bands. The wire that attaches to the arm also has come out, and is not easily repairable. I think we were a bit disappointed at how small it was, though perhaps that was our fault for not doing a bit more research. It is recommended for older kids/ collectors, and it would probably be wise to take this advise.

I bought this little guy to use in a diorama (scene) I'm building where new railroad track is being laid -- I'm a model railroader. I was surprised that it is well detailed and includes working parts for a very reasonable price. One hates to spend lots of money on the expensive models that collectors like when it will just be put on a diorama like this and perhaps given away. With only a little retouching, it now looks like several real-life units around town, mud splatters, rust and all.
