Bruder09805 John Deere 1210E Forwarder

This was all my son asked for, for his 5th birthday. He was right about it! He has been playing with it ever since. It can grab logs and other things, smaller trucks go for a ride on it, etc. it came with a little black piece I didn’t know what to do with, and couldn’t find any info on the website, except how to order another one. So that was a mysterious element, but the truck is good without this part, anyway.

The quality of design and construction is excellent. We also purchased a Logger in the same 1-16 scale. Our 3-year old grandson very much enjoys this toy and moves the logs on and off the truck.We bought this toy because we had walked together in the town forest near his home and saw a logger loading freshly cut logs onto the truck bed.

Very high quality toy. Excellent detail. Highly recommended.

We are big fans of Bruder toys. We have a number of Bruder trucks and have been very pleased with the quality and durability of their products.My son loves this Forwarder and it is an impressive looking vehicle. However, it falls under Bruder's normal high manufacturing standards.Right out of the box we discovered a few issues others have complained about here.First, the tooling of the claw is clumsy. the grip works fine, but the attachment is weak and likely to fail eventually. For now, it seems ok.Second, the boom arm locking mechanism is finicky and difficult to lock in place. Often it slips and the arm falls down, doesn't stay up. Perhaps we got a weak one off the line, but, it does seem like it needs improvement.Third, the boom arm pivoting mechanism sticks and abrupt snaps as we try to rotate the boom arm and claw. It works ok, but, just not the smooth and sturdy movement we are use to from Bruder.Forth, at this price a few more logs would be welcome. Come on Bruder?Overall, this is a great truck. if Bruder corrects these minor issues it will be stellar. It's got a lot going for it.We're keeping ours. It's my son's favorite truck. He's obsessed with it. We're building an entire world around it. Loads of fun!

My son and I love Bruder trucks. We got this one today and the armrest broke right away. He just touched it to raise it and it broke off. I usually can fix small issues like this but there is no way to even tape it to still work. Hopefully a replacement will not brake as easily. As for people saying the claw falls off, it has to be clipped in properly and works just fine. The only thing I wish is that the seat swiveled instead of the armrest lifting so that it wouldn’t brake so easily. So for the brand and price, it’s disappointing that it broke right out of the box.

Replacement one broke on same spot as original.. Spent a ton of money expecting quality.. Just isn't there sadly

My son loves this, it's not super durable and the little pieces can break easy, but its very realistic and he likes that he can open doors and the movements are that of the real thing. Bruder makes quality toys

My son is 4 and loves Bruder Trucks, Machines etc, because they are great replicas, but easy for a young kid to use. The grapple on this is easy to open & close so my son can operate it himself.
