CAT Backhoe Tractor a wonderful product,
January 16, 2008

"WOW, I think I have lost my 2 1/2 year old son to this new backhoe tractor. He has been on this toy everyday since Christmas. This toy was easy to put together and seems to be indestructible. He has no problems pedaling the tractor around the house. Delivery was super fast. I would recommend this to any aspiring child that likes tractors."

The kids LOVE it!!!,

"My husband and I bought this for our son for Christmas. It was relatively easy to assemble (of course my husband did it). My son was riding it through the house until spring. The neighborhood kids love to play on it. We have a small sandbox and a dirt pile in our backyard. It is nice that there are two seats, although sometimes the back seat is hard to anchor. Overall, I would recommend this if you have a child who loves to play in dirt like mine does."

Cat Toy Tractor with Backhoe,
November 2, 2009
By JohnnyThreeEyes
from Indinapolis, IN
"I bought this toy a little over two years ago for a friend’s child, who has since had a brother. They both love the toy and often compete to be the first to get to it so they can play with it. And in two years the only thing that has broken is there is a small crack in the seat near where the screws hold it on.
The safety interlock for the backhoe seat (a foot must be released and pushed down below the backhoe seat before the backhoe has full articulation) is a little complicated for children their age.
Assembly was relatively easy, with a few extra parts that you are likely to lose. The only problem is that the instructions were "multi-lingual" (aka, no words just pictures and non-descriptive arrows). This led to a little confusion. Stickers were a little hard to get on without wrinkles, but I doubt the kids minded."

"I bought this for my 4 year old son for Christmas. He had wanted a four wheeler but, was estatic when he saw this in front of the tree. Of course he immediately took it outside to work with. Not only does he work in the pea gravel but he also keeps the ditch line at the bottom of the bank cleaned out. He has also used it for snow removal.
The leg for the back shovel is difficult to put up & down. I usually have to assist him. I believe that the leg should be more sturdy or possibly have two legs. My son works his backhoe hard. I sometimes think that the leg is going snap off.
One reason that I chose this toy was because it is pedal operated. He is now able to pedal it up a stone hill. It has very good traction.
I had this shipped to my place of employment. The maintenance men put it together for me. They said that they had more trouble placing the decals then they did putting it together.

CAT Backhoe Tractor is well made.,
March 17, 2009
By GrandpaMike
from Alpine, NY
"I bought the CAT Backhoe Tractor for my grandson. His father and I put it together Christmas Eve. It was easy to assemble and the parts fit well. Now, twelve weeks later, he uses it almost daily, and nothing has broken. Although he has to stretch to reach the pedals, it's still his favorite tractor, and he owns over a dozen. I'd buy another toy from this company. In fact, I did, for my other grandson. He's had the same experience with his."

CAT Backhoe Tractor,
March 16, 2009
By wendy300
from North GA
"This product is very well made and durable, our boys 3 and 5 love it! They take it off road, down in the woods, and just out in the backyard as well as drive it around on the deck. I love that it's not motorized but actually requires pedal power. I think that too many of today's children's toys don't require enough physical interaction and that's not at all the case with this realistic tractor. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to anyone with children who love physical play."

Digger,
March 16, 2009
By Beckers
from Walnut Creek, CA
"We bought our 2 1/2 year old this for Christmas. He loves it. It will be a while before he can pedal it because it is big and hard to move around. It was pretty tricky to put together but my husband and his 6 friends got it together.
The only complaint I have it that the kick stand piece has already broken off and we are working on getting a replacement piece.

Our son loves it!,

"This was recently purchased for our 3 year-old son. He loves playing on it and digging in the dirt. Our only complaint we have is the instructions and the assembly of it. It took quite some time to put it together and the instructions were confusing at times."

backhoe tractor,
March 16, 2009
By kkbray
from San Diego, CA
"I bought this tractor for my son for his third birthday. It came in less than a week, was easy to assemble and well made. This is the best money we have spent on any toy. He has used it almost every single day in the past 6 months and is still as sturdy as the day we bought it. I would also recommend buying the dump truck attachment. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars only because the leg of the back attachment requires an adult most times to put it up and can sometimes stick. Otherwise this is a perfect toy for my son and has already provided hours of enjoyment"
