My 12 year old grandson got a brand new one of these yesterday. An elaborate present but he is an absolute worker.

They are not toys.

Better than playing with joysticks on a game remote. My dad taught me how to run a backhoe when I was around 8. I got burned out of excavation and dirt work because that was all my dad did was work and he made me tag along. I'm beginning to get back into the business after 20 years of corporate jobs.

Hi it’s good to hear that you are getting back into it. All the best 👍👍

[@michaelwalsh9145]

A backhoe is not a toy they are a very unstable machine with skilled operators never mind putting children on them.

Drive an excavator is easy, but to interpret the work and know how to organize more complicated there is is as differentiated between a good and a bad driver of backhoe

[@odenmonstertruck]
