Bruder 02813 Mack Granite Flatbed Truck with JCB Loader Backhoe

I bought this in 2014 and just recently gave it to my grandson. It is a fabulous toy. My son was rough on his toys but it held up. Now my grandson plays with it almost daily. Im now looking for another great truck from Bruder for him.

You have to know your kid and what your kid likes. My kid loves trucks with trailers, and he has good but not great fine motor skills. This toy has appealed to him more than some of the other expensive Bruder trucks have. It's a bit easier to work with than some of the other Bruder trucks. The side-arm garbage trucks require some very good fine motor skills to get the arm to go out, hook the can, and bring it all the way up and dump it. My kid got a bit frustrated with it. This truck, though, is simple enough that he can easily get the loading ramps up and down, can easily get the backhoe on and off, can get the cab hood up and down, etc. And, of course, once the backhoe is off all sorts of other things can go on the trailer. Lots of fun. As Bruder trucks go there's a lot to do with this one, and the cab doors open and close. For my kid that was very important. On our other Bruders the cab doors don't open, and if the kid wants to put a driver in there--well, you need to have doors that open. These Bruder toys are VERY well made and very precise, and seem to do best with kids who like careful, thoughtful, gentle play. If your kid likes to smash stuff, he's going to turn this into an $84 pile of plastic parts pretty quickly. These are NOT as sturdy as the Tonka trucks of old. This thing is massive, almost three feet long, and it does have massive amounts of the wow factor. When the kid sees it he is just stopped in his tracks it looks so impressive.

My son loved it!! A year later and he still plays with. It’s extremely durable. Some of the pieces have popped off but are it was easy for me or my son to poop them back on. He has so much fun playing with it outside in our sandbox. It’s not too heavy for him to carry or drive around himself. The design and details are amazing. He loves that the doors and the hood semi open. I would definitely buy from this company again.

Huge, extremely well made 3 piece set, the level of detail in these toys is amazing, my kid loves them, a full size rig and a fully moving backhoe for $120, it was around $200 when I first saw it; too bad the ramps were missing but it does not diminish the amazingness of the set. I was surprised of the full size, almost 3ft

So I had been looking at Bruder toys for a while to get for my son. I was certainly hesitant, since they are on the pricey side. But this past Christmas one of the toys my son saw under the tree was this truck. First off, this thing is BIG. Which is nice, but when it is not being played with it takes up a good deal of floor space. This thing is cool! From a distance it looks super detailed, but from up close the details are rather crude. There is nothing wrong with that. It prevents easily breakable parts. And that is probably the best thing about this toy. It is meant to be played with. Things pop off or move instead of snapping. Then it is easily put back together. Everything works like the real thing, and the controls on the back-hoe seem to not even be there because of how well it is designed. We have only had this for a few months now, and I can't wait to see my son playing with this in the dirt and sand. I am very impressed, and will continue to buy and recommend Bruder products.

My son Loved this Truck! We bought it for Christmas. Definely buy from this company again. Love the apperance of the trucks. Stability is good for plastic toy. Playability is spot on for a small child.

It’s my grandson’s seventh birthday. He has looked at pictures of this for quite a while. This toy exceeded his expectations. He’s played with it almost nonstop. It’s a quality product with much attention to detail.

My son saw these trucks on one of his favorite you tube channels and talked me into buying one for him. I was a little put off by the price but it was a special toy for a special occasion so I decided to go for it and I’m so glad I did!! It’s as close to the real thing as you can get in a kids sized toy! And I will say it’s VERY DURABLE!! I accidentally ran over the trailer wil my minivan and it still works!! One of the trailer wheels is a little off kilter but he still plays with it because the wheel still turns and you can hardly even notice the damage until it’s pointed out! Keep building em tough Bruder!

My grandson loves it. Expensive but it is high quality and durable. Took an age to arrive -23 days! But it was worth the wait. The seller was very good too, gave me a 10% refund in compensation for it being late.

Bellissimo e ottima qualità, dettagliato è sufficientemente resistente. Unica pecca non sterzano le ruote quindi farlo girare col rimorchio è un impresa

Es una maravilla, de mucha calidad, una réplica, se lo regalamos a mi hijo de 3 años y se lleva todo el día jugando y dándole unos porrazo, y está como el primer día, le hemos comprado más maquinarias porque la verdad que merece la pena. Lo recomiendo el 100%.

Great quality toy. Played with at every visit from my Grandsons

Camion magnifique , il est très grand pour un jouet et solide , très beau cadeau. Mon petit fils adore.
