Bruder CAT Large Track Type Tractor

As someone who got very tired of poorly-made, low quality plastic toys with no regard for accuracy coming from you-know-where, Bruder Toys have been a breath of fresh air. You can tell by looking at the color and texture of the plastic that you're dealing with quality that is not matched by cheaper alternatives. There is pride in the manufacturing of these toys. Can a child break it? Of course. Will that be upsetting given the price? Of course. The reviews that are incredulous to this fact make me laugh. But if they do break, Bruder offers a well oiled web store for replacement parts, at affordable prices, shipped immediately to your door - which is pretty unheard of in the toy world. I bought an entire new bucket assembly for our front end loader, and now that bad-boy is back online doing work. If you want something indestructible, buy Green Toys or Tonka or something for toddlers, you can't expect a realistic looking scale model with functioning mechanisms to not have certain weak structural points. I maintain our Bruder fleet with spare and replacement parts, and these toys last forever. If you can't see why paying 3x for a toy makes sense when it lasts 3x as long, by all means import more trash and put it in the ground when you're done with it.

This dozer was the perfect addition to my 8 year olds fleet! He is an avid farmer, plays with farm equipment for hours on end, preparing his ground, planting crops, mowing hay and harvesting corn and beans. He insisted he needed this dozer to "prepare new fields" and saved in order to get it for himself. It is an extremely well made piece and one that he does play with outside pushing lose sand and dirt. He is all boy but not rough on his farm and construction equipment. He knows this one has a very detailed design, is plastic and could break. He's had this for 4-6 weeks and plays with it daily, wih no problems. We will definitely buy other Bruder toys! He carries the "catalog" folded in his back pocket everywhere he goes so he can peruse at his leisure. Next on his list is the crane and excavator. We love it! Very detailed and well made! Thanks Bruder. Reviewed by an Indiana momma.

We recently purchased our grandson the Bruder Scania R-Series Liebherr crane and were so impressed we purchased the Bruder CAT for him for Christmas. His aunt purchased the MAN TGA Cement mixer as well. Please note that these toys are large. They're 1/16th scale. The CAT is 21 inches long so be prepared with plenty of room. As with the crane the CAT is very well constructed. Attention to detail is amazing with no shabby/shoddy parts that break after a week. These products are made in Germany and the quality of German manufacturing is world renowned. The Bruder website recommends most of their "Professional Series" toys for 4 years and older. Our grandson is 3 and he mastered all 3 toys quickly. The crane is probably the most complex to operate but after a week he was using the boom and hook easily. The CAT is comparatively much easier to operate.

Save yourself and your kid from constant break downs. The tracks are so loose they fall off if you even pick the thing up. I took a link of— easy. Now they’re too tight and the thing won’t go. Shame on y’all for this hunk of junk that will soon meet my vehicle tires if my return isn’t accepted. Day ruined.

When my three year old opened the box for this vehicle he was overwhelmed by its size. It's one of bruder's largest toy vehicles. Our 18 month old rides around on it!This toy does a great job of showing how a bulldozer really works. It can push along a big pile of Lego pieces which is fun for the boys. It also has incredible details which even amaze me when I watch them use it. Hearing the plastic treads rotate when it's being pushed around is also a nice effect. It's nice to see it next to all their other vehicles so they get to understand the size differences of construction vehicles.

Love it. Good craftmanship 😁

Expensive and large, but the kiddos love it. 10 days after Xmas unwrapping, and it's the 5yr old's favorite gift. And it's still in one piece!!

I bought this for my husband for Father's Day. He works in the construction industry and is a big kid at heart. This bulldozer is a big hit at our house. My 2 year old (under close watch) loves to push it around. It's durable, but definitely not made for his age. My husband loves the functionality of it and being able to introduce construction to our son. I would highly recommend this product. It's to-scale, functional, well built, and genuinely fun. We will continue to purchase other trucks from bruder.
