The bruder track-type tractor was delivered two days ago for my 2 year old son. However, my 6 year old was thrilled to bits when he saw it. Needless to say, it is he who has been playing with it, while my 2 yr old is back to playing with blocks and lurking around the TV waiting for it to be switched on so that he can watch Curious George, again.The tracks are the best part, they are corrugated, for lack of a better description, and the truck has a rake-sort of thing at the back – one look at it and “SAND PIT/ BEACH” is what jumps to mind. I think it is the perfect little toy to take to any place with sand/ mud because I see my son making tracks in our yard with it. The front plough can push sand, while the rake digs through it and the track make little indentations. In short, the bruder design optimizes a play toy, and grabs attention in terms of looks, feel and utility.The truck itself is well built, though I cant say how long it’ll last, especially since I’ll have a 6 yr old and (eventually) a 2 yr old playing with it, but I love that it’s not plastic!

The Bruder CAT ‘dozer has proven to be useful on the job. It features a blade up front the can be raised when driving over rough terrain and it also pivots from left to right so you direct your load as needed. There is also a “ripper” in the back, although this usually stays in the most up-right position as we don’t have much of a use for it. A great value compared to the other Bruder construction vehicles and the quality and functionality doesn’t disappoint. We use this toy strictly indoors on a road made of foam board. As other reviewers have mentioned, the tracks can get clogged with small debris, like the rocks pictured. It does best on rougher surfaces, most likely rugs or carpeting for any potential buyers that want to know. Rubber inserts are included for the tracks for “traction” on slick surfaces. I have not tried to use these. My son is 3 years old and loves all the Bruder toys we’ve accumulated, although he only plays with them under my supervision. If you have younger children, as I do, these are not “playroom” toys. They have small parts and should be handled with care, however they are not cheaply made. If you like spending time with you kids and showing them how to both enjoy and learn from using the fine toys Bruder makes, these are for you. See pics for the ‘dozer in action.

There is no remote control with this bulldozer, I’m not sure why that is listed.This is a great toy for my 3 year old. He got it and the backhoe and loves them both. He has so much fun with them! It is very durable and is holding together well. It somehow ended up in a sandbox, but to my surprise the sand wasn’t too hard to get out of the dozer. It withstood the banging and shaking just fine.There are little rubber pieces to put in the tracks, and a couple little black attachments that we almost threw away because I didn’t see the manual! So make sure you save those pieces.We will be buying from this company again.

My three year old and my one year old both play rough with this toy. The tracks move and the front blade goes up and down and side to side. The rippers move up and down. They love this toy and it has withstood heavy play for months! Highly recommend.

If you haven’t tried a Bruder product it is time! While they are just plastic toy trucks they are well designed, as durable as you can be for also being as realistic as possible. My now 3 yr old grandson has had this dozer for almost a year now and it still has not broken any major things. The tracks are still very functional with both outside and inside play. A part or two has popped off once in a while but they are easily snapped back in place. Great products for kids!

We had ours about a month before my son dropped it and the plow broke off. It’s a good toy, but your target audience (toddler/young boys) are pretty destructive. It broke too easily considering how sturdy our other bruder toys are.
