Editorial Review

Just like the real front loaders you might see working along the highway, the Mighty Front Loader was designed to dig, dump, and haul. With its large working bucket, deep-cleated tires, and heavy-duty steel construction, this solid truck is guaranteed for life and built for endless hours of fun in the sandbox or yard. Two handles let you control the angle of the work bucket so you can dig or dump sand and dirt, or move rocks around. Or you can set the bucket in a middle position when you want to haul things for a while without holding the handle. The cab and engine sections swivel, making it easy to steer the front loader to where the work is. The large wheels (4.5-inch diameter) have been mounted over strong steel axles, tested for up to 50 pounds. Realistically styled, the front loader measures 22 inches long by 8 inches wide by 9.5 inches high. --Chris Burns ... Read more

Tonka Toys are Tough!
This is a GREAT toy for a rough little boy which is exactly what we have here! My son received this for Christmas a year ago & it still looks great & works great! That is saying lots!! He can destroy a lot of toys quickly b/c he is all boy!! For example, he received a truck for his birthday a month ago which was supposed to be a good rugged truck well it has been pronounced dead & retired to the trash already after just a month, but not his Tonka toys! But then we always buy the metal ones for him! I dont think you can go wrong with this toy! We are actly buying him a few more in this same line for this Christmas b/c they are so rugged!

The best construction toys
After much research I'm back to the old steadfast Tonka for my 3 year old.

These are the best construction toys for kids. I gave it a 4 for the plastic parts. I still have my Tonka loader in perfect condition from 1970, it has a metal loader bucket and mechanism. Although you could argue that the plastic bucket might be more safe if it gets plowed into anything other than dirt or it won't get scraped up from digging and corrode if left out in the elements too often. I like all metal.

But these are still just great construction toys. The competitors use too much plastic in places where they'll actually break. They feel like they're going to fall apart unless sitting foreven on a shelf.

Kids will push anything to it's limit, at least smaller kids. So expect any flimsy plastic, realistic looking parts to get broken, unless it's building blocks or something like that.

There's a difference between hard plastic and softer plastic in terms of durability. Most of the competitor trucks feel like hard plastic. The harder plastic snaps frm fatigue. The bucket on the loader is a bit softer, it's more pliable so it shouldn't snap from moderate abuse

I'd also stay away from the Tonkas that look more realistic but are all plastic, a harder plastic, and battery operated. Although alittle more realistic looking, those aren't really made for digging or pushing or anything but pretending to dig on a carpet inside only. Perhaps for older kids who play more realistically than forcefully. I've seen some with all of their realistic brittle plastic loader parts just broked off where they attach from over use from preschoolers.

These look much more durable, and they are. My sons still look pretty darn good and they've seen much use.

Buy it
These are the BEST toys in the world for kids who love transportation.I got this on special with the free dump truck and they have been all over the house, yard and even went on display for show and tell in grade K.All the kids love it.

If this is on special with the free dump truck as it is several times then don't hesitate get two and save it for a birthday gift.Both girls and boys love 'em.Great buy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Mighty indeed! This Tonka backhoe is aptly named. Riding high above the ground (11 inches) on large, rugged tires (4.5 inches indiameter), it's constructed of heavy-duty steel and durable plastic. Realistically styled after a full-size backhoe, it has a long steel arm for digging deep or scooping up rocks and dirt. The backhoe can swivel a full 360 degrees on the truck bed, making it easy to load dirt into other trucks or get to those hard-to-reach rock piles. There's a sure-grip handle on the side of the arm for lifting and lowering, and another handle at the base of the arm lets the "driver" extend or retract the work bucket for scooping and dumping. The backhoe sits on strong steel axles that have been tested with a 50-pound load. With a lifetime guarantee to back it up, the Mighty Backhoe is built to withstand all the rough play your kids can dish out. --Chris Burns ... Read more

But .....its not a backhoe.
It looks like a cool toy, but it really isn't anything like a backhoe you would normally see on a construction site.

Built Strong for Hours of Play
We purchased the Tonka Mighty Backhoe and the Tonka Mighty Dump Truck for my son for Christmas this year.As a child, I had numerous Tonka trucks, and I can remember how much fun I had playing with them.Although plastic has replaced some of the parts that used to be steel, these trucks are still built strong for hours of fun play, either indoors or outdoors.As for the backhoe, it has a strongly-built cab and handles for the child to hold on to while operating the backhoe.This is an improvement from when I was a child.The backhoe bends in two places, so picking up small objects is very easy.The wheels are made of a sturdy plastic.I highly recommend this fun toy.Combine it with another Tonka vehicle to give your child hours of construction fun.

My 3 year old grandson loves favorite trucks
I bought the backhoe, dump truck and the back loader and recently purchase the crane for him.He takes them everywhere he goes. His father takes him to see the real ones at work and he know what each one is called.

They are very durable.Great trucks. ... Read more

A frustrating toy
My son loves all the Tonka vehicles, but this one frustrates him.The crane mechanism comes out of the slot easily.It also tips over easily.It doesn't balance very well when lifting something.It is also awkward to move and store due to the crane part.

A little disappointed
I am a big fan of the metal Tonka trucks. My son has the dump truck (which he loves) and the backhoe (which he also loves). I bought the crane thinking it would be a great addition to his backyard fleet. For the most part it is, however if your child is rough and tough like my 3 year old, you might encounter some problems. For one thing it kept tipping over when he would try to operate it and then the bucket came off and had to be retied on. He still plays with it but I was a little disappointed in Tonka on this one.

Choose the backhoe, front loader or dump truck instead...
This is a great looking truck that really excited my 4-year old at first.It quickly became frustrating for him because the arm would collapse and the string would come undone and get jammed.We have the other 3 trucks in this line and absolutely love them. Skip the crane! ... Read more

Great trucks, and a great value!
These trucks are the perfect size for my three year-old construction fanatic.The "mighty" Tonka trucks are too big for him, the "jr. basic" Tonka trucks are too small for him (though they were excellent for him in the sandbox a year ago), and the "jr. force" Tonka trucks are too flimsy for working in our tough Oklahoma dirt!These trucks have a steel body and plastic wheels and accents.The description does not contain their dimensions, so here they are...the grader is roughly 17Lx8Wx7H, and the dump truck is roughly 14Lx6Wx7H.The price is excellent, the quality is very good, and my son loves them!What a deal! ...

Entertaining and Educational
My daughter got this for her 12 month old birthday and she loves it.She loves the song Old McDonald and wants to play it over and over again as she dances to it.The animals are great for her to learn the noises but mostly to identify the animal.I'll tell her to go get the horse and she'll come back with it!It also goes great with the Baby Einstein video Baby McDonald because they use that toy in it and she recognizes it and will go push the button to make the song.Our daughter loves it and has had it for 2 months now and has not gotten bored with it.

dangerous choking hazard
My son loved this toy also.HOWEVER, this morning as he was playing he started coughing.I looked over to find the small hand piece missing off the farmer.When initially examining the toy upon purchase all the pieces appeared safe for a toddler as the package indicated.Obviously that is not the case as one hand piece had come off completely.I plan to contact the manufactor, however I strongly caution anyone who chooses to purchase this toy.As fun as it may seem it is obviously a choking hazard.

Get this toy!
Not only did my 1 year old love this toy when he got it, (as did his big sister) but he has been riding around the house on it for over a year and it is still in good shape!He thinks the trailer is great for sitting on and pushes himself around on it. (And he weighs 25 pounds!)The mechanism for moving itself forward automatically finally gave out recently due to his misuse, but he doesn't seem to mind. The animals are all included.(One person seems to have gotten an open package.) ... Read more

The young builder in your family will appreciate the realisticdetails built into this Mercedes Benz Cement Mixer. Measuring animpressive 22.5 inches long, the truck is equipped with a hand-powered,spinning cement drum and a three-piece extendable dispenser chute thatswivels up to 180 degrees off the back of the truck. When not in use,the two extra chute extensions clip into place on either side of thetruck, and the cement mixer handle on top of the truck can be tuckedaway neatly. Made of sturdy plastic, the truck rides smoothly on eightrubber tires, and when it's not moving you can tilt the front cabinforward to reveal a large truck engine underneath. Both of the sidemirrors on the front of the truck are adjustable. --Chris Burns ... Read more

Great truck!
My son got this truck as a Christmas present and he plays with it every day...he loves to look in the window and turn the crank that makes the mixer spin. He looks at the 'engine' and pushes it all over the house. He's 22 lbs. and sits on the mixer daily and it's still as good as new!

The soft corners and indestructible design of the Little Tikesgiant construction vehicles make them ideal for aspiring junior roadworkers. These tough trucks can handle all sorts of abuse, from haulingdirt across the playground to taking those accidental spills down thestairs. Over 12 inches long, 7 inches high, and 9 inches wide, thissturdy bulldozer speeds around on oversize, hard-plastic tires, and ithas a working scoop that can really dig out, lift, and carry a load.--Paul Hughes ...

This toy is tops!
My son recieved it for his 2nd birthday and a year later still loves it. We keep it as an outside toy where he can dig and load dirt with it. Its nice and chunky for little hands and has a handle you push to make the loading part lift up. I imagine this toy will last forever.

Loads of Fun
My two boys(5 and 6) have both the loader and dump truck and they have put about 1,000 miles on tires and they keep going.They enjoy playing in the dirt with these toys..They are kept outside and have lasted along time(3 yrs)..Even when left out in the rain, they have kept together with no problems.

Little tikes diggers and trucks
I am a grandmother of a little boy and little twin girls, all 3 years old, and a Little 2 year old girl. All have fun digging in the sand or dirt with the Loader and Dump truck. I own almost all of Little Tikes Cars, Trucks, and "Diggers" and they provide hours of fun, are safe, and last forever. I have found that both boys and girls love digging and driving. It has given me much pleasure to watch them play. ... Read more

Our toddler's favorite toy
We bought this truck for my son's first b-day. At first he just piled it with toys and dumped them out. He slowly figured out how much fun it was to hold onto the back and push it around the house. It's truly his favorite toy. His friends (up to age 4) also all love this truck. We're going out to buy another one because they all fight over it!

Our son is 19 months old and we've never had a problem with him getting hit in the head with the back of the truck the way other reviews have described. I'm not saying it's not possible to get hit. He just figured out quickly the correct way to push it and play with it.

This truck is plastic and seems indestructible. Because it's plastic, it's lightweight and easy to maunever around. We think it is a great truck for both toddlers and preschoolers.

wonderful toy,except!!
My son pcked this out at a local store.After a couple of weeks, the truck did not make the sound it was supposed to.I called little tikes and a check is on the way for a new one.My son loves this toy and makes the sound every time he sees.Little Tikes brands are the best made toys around!!!

Great for young and old
My son has this truc. It is very cute and durable. He's 2 but my nephews who are 12 and 15 love it too!! It links together easily and comes apart easily. Al so hooks to other trucks of the same style!! Excellent truck!

Great truck for rough boys!
I have two boys, 4 and 1 who equally love this truck!They have several in the series of "Rugged Riggz" and they are all great!They play very hard and rough and this toy withstands it all!The wheels are rubberized so they don't scratch my coffee table.You can take the trailer part apart and mix and match with the others in the series.A definite MUST have for those of you with boys and truck-lovers like me!!!

This is one serious piece of road construction equipment. On one end is a huge spinning blade, perfect for cutting up make-believe pavement. On the other side is a big steamroller and a mammoth rotating drill to bore holes in the road. Both are completely safe, of course. Use the switch on the bottom to set the rig to motorized mode, and let it rumble around the room in forward or reverse, or set it to "freewheeling" and let it sit still while you do the pushing. But the real stars of this toy are the authentic sounds itmakes--drilling, grinding, beeping--all realistically done and all noisy enough to suit construction fans. --John Moe ... Read more

Great Boys Toy
Tonka is good at making fun/durable toys and Leapfrog educational toys; this is a great fun toy.This Road Constructer has been a great hit with my 2 boys (4years and 18mos), it's very durable and has strong effect-features (sparking cutting blade, rotating drill tool and sounds).This picky parent highly recommends this for fun time.

Not durable
My son got this tonka for christmas and it became one of his favorite toys. Thats until it broke! The rotating drill on ours broke right off. Now my 2 yr old hardly ever plays with it. They could have built the drill part better....oh well.

Pleased
I found this on clearance for my son. I can't really see paying full price for it. Especially with the quality of most expensive toys these days. But I have to say, Tonka does seem to be continuing their legacy of well built toys. My son loves it (even though the drill sparking and grinding kinda scared him at first). He loves flipping the switch and watching it beep it's way down the hall all by itself. Him and his friends have even used it ouside to dig holes! I couldn't believe the little plastic drill was actually putting holes in the ground, but it was. It got all sorts of dirt in crevices even I couldn't reach, but it did eventually "air out" and it still runs great. For anyone with a child who loves construction trucks, I strongly recommend Tonka. They're one of the few companies still trying to keep a certain level of quality in their products. ... Read more

With all its realistic detailing, you can almost imagine this hard-workingforklift zooming across the warehouse floor. Built with realism and playvalue in mind, the 10-inch-long forklift looks just like the real thing (afront-loading Still R70, to be exact) and is rugged enough for indoor andoutdoor play. German toy-maker Bruder has packed this plastic vehicle with allsorts of realistic features: the lift angles forward and back (for picking upand carrying), a small knob on the side lets kids raise and lower the load, thecab-mounted steering wheel turns the rear wheels left and right, and the wholeseat flips up to expose a detailed diesel engine underneath.

A Favorite!
My 2 1/2 year old LOVES FORKLIFTS, but toy forklifts are very hard to come by.We got this for him for christmas and he loves it so much, he's been sleeping with it every night!It isn't as durable as I'd like, but i explained to him how it was a special toy and he needs to play with it gently, and so far, it's held up nicely.

Bruder breaks 1st day & no refund
Last Christmas we purchased the forklift and 2 other vehicles by Bruder.One arrived with a broken piece and the other 2 broke the first day.I contacted Bruder by email a few days after Christmas.I was told that after 20 days, no returns were accepted.Since I ordered the gifts prior to Christmas, I was out of luck.They never responded any further to my complaints in the quality of their product.Die Cast vehicles have been much more durable.Not only were the products brittle, but moving mechanisms seemed made to crack off so that very quickly the primary function of all the machines was broke.

Fun, but not durable
My 3-year-old son was crazy about watching the fork lifts at Home Depot and was delighted to receive this as a big brother gift when our second child arrived.But alas, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is brittle.The basket was broken into many pieces after being stepped on.The up/down mechanism was too delicate.We still get it out for the second child now and then, but he is too frustrated about the broken parts. ...

a wonderful time
I bought this truck for my 2-year-old grandson, but the older ones loved it, too, so I ordered 2 more. The three boys played for hours with this truck.I can't wait to see what they do with three of them.

Great truck for tots!Back doors are neat!
I love this truck.My little boy loves to open and close the back doors on this truck and put things in the trailer.This is one of the first bigger trucks that I have seen with that capability.

Great Truck!
This is a fun truck!!!When we got home from purchasing this truck, on of the back doors had popped off, but we put it back on, and it has not come off again.My son really enjoys loading the truck with his smaller cars, or loading toys inside to transport to the toybox during clean-up time.This truck was especially nice on grandma's beautiful hardwood floors - no scratching, and it has not made any marks on our linolium floors at home.I think that if your toddler or preschooler loves trucks, this is a perfect addition to the collection. ...

Not the best for the price
I bought this for my three-year-old son for Christmas, and before he had even played with it for two minutes, the cab with the crane part was broken at the point where it snaps on to the flatbed. For $55, I feel this is a cheaply made product. The plastic is flimsy and the parts are not durable. However, he does like it, although it is frustrating for him to have to constantly try to put the cab and crane back on the flatbed portion. I would not recommend this product because there are so many more well made trucks and machines out there for 1/2 the price or less./

Pricey for a Plastic Toy
My son got this as a Christmas present and absolutely loves the truck.The only "issue" I had with the toy was that it was all Plastic for toy with so high a price tag.His Tonka trucks are 1/2 the price and are metal.He soes love it and plays with it often.

a mixed bag
my kids begged for a logging truck after watching the "House Construction Ahead" video that includes footage of cool logging machines. Our Brio garbage truck has been so durable (they RIDE the thing, for heavens sake) that I figured this would be bomber as well. However, the pick-up claw broke after 10 minutes (on christmas morning, ouch). The company cheerfully replaced the broken piece, but that also broke after a couple days. The claw was never easy for little hands to manipulate - sized more for a grown-up and causing much toddler frustration - so I never bothered replacing it again. But the rest of the truck keeps going and going. My kids are now nearly 40 pounds and they have ridden it with their full weight daily for nearly a year now. I think its indestructible. What a shame that they put such a junky claw piece on an otherwise sturdy toy ... Read more

When young children are pretending to do the work of adults,they like to use work vehicles that have as many realistic features aspossible. Equipped with a working front loader and backhoe, thiscolorful tractor from Roadmax offers the industrious toddler amultifunctional vehicle that looks just like the full-size version theymight see working along the highway. Made of sturdy plastic in brightprimary colors, the tractor measures approximately 26 inches long whenboth the front loader and backhoe are fully extended. Both buckets canbe used to dig and scoop, and once they are raised you can lock them inplace to carry dirt, rocks, or toys across the back yard or playroom.The tractor's backhoe swivels up to 360 degrees and the front cab isbig enough to hold an action figure (sold separately).

Terrence the Tractor - great little guy
Terrence is probably not made for the track - since he is a tractor and is meant to be used in fields, or for plowing snow.That said, this little guy goes about everywhere in our house and we haven't had any trouble with the tire treads.If your child is prone to pick at such things like mine is, just to see if he can get them off, then I suggest maybe advising otherwise.My little one figured out how to get them off very quickly, but became aggravated that they were not on when he was "plowing the field."So, I put them back on and well, they haven't come off since.

Some neat role playing occurs with Terrence.He just opens new doors for working outside of the track and especially with all the new construction guys that have been introduced lately like Alfie and Jack.Terrence has a lot of fun in our house and he comes highly recommended!

Terrific Terrence!
My son is a huge fan of the Thomas & Friends diecast trains and building sets.Despite the fact he had amassed a large portion of these toys, an important character was missing from his collection: Terrence the Tractor.Of course, he was thrilled when this little vehicle showed up in his Easter basket.

No, Terrence is not a train, but one of the tractors that plows the fields on the Island of Sodor.Terrence is a wonderful character, with his bright orange coat of paint and happy face.He has one magnet on his back end, perfect for pulling trains (or having trains pull him).In all honesty, we have not had any problems with Terrence's treads coming off--they are designed to wrap tightly around the wheels when rolling, so no matter how hard my three-year-old tugs on them, they stay put.Terrence is also a very durable toy--my son has dropped him, stepped on him, ran him into the other trains, and Terrence shows no signs of wear, tear, split wood, or chipped paint.Finally, Terrence is small enough to fit easily in my son's hands during play, but can also be slipped into a coat pocket during a car trip.

All in all, Terrence is a terrific vehicle, and a perfect addition to a child's Thomas & Friends collection.

He is not a train, he's a tractor
I have the new designed model and the treads don't come off.He is not a train and is not meant to run on the track, the road maybe, but more for "off-road".My son likes him, just get the newly designed type. ... Read more

Girls like trucks too!
My daughter got this from her nephew who is 2 years older than her. He loved it, and now she does as well. It's red color has faded some from outside use, but my daughter loves to crawl around with it and putting stuff into the dumptruck bed! Durable and great toys that spark your child's imagination! What parent could ask for anything better!

Great toy
This is my son's favorite toy.He has tons of trains, cars, etc.and this is by far the one he plays with the most.He is fifteen months and he received it as a gift for his 1st birthday.It is small enough for him to handle but big enough that I don't have to worry about him chocking on little pieces.It is definitely with the money.

Dumpety is great for kids, but loud for parents
My son loves this toy, however it is loud.But don't let that be a deterant for you.It's really cute.A word of advice though...the boulders are small enough to be put into little one's mouth's and they look a bit like a Dunkin' Donut munchkin.So as a parent who's been there, keep an eye on those boulders!!But overall my son who's going to be 2 has enjoyed this toy since December.And it's the first one out of the toybox! ...
