My grandson loves to dig in the dirt. The only problem that I see if the handles are not as strong and I am afraid he will break them with his strenght. He is only 5 but he lovees the digger. If it had a seat adjustment would be great also.

I purchased two of these for my 3 and 5 year old sons. They were such a big hit. They use these in the dirt instead of the sand. Easy to put together. I'm glad I purchased these instead of the more expensive excavators. Worth every dollar I paid.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

We bought this for our 4 year old after a trip to a Kansas park. We live in Tennessee and were visiting relatives in Kansas. We spent more time in the park than at the house. We could not get our son to leave the park because he had found an excavator to play with. When we returned from the trip, my husband began gathering parts to make an excavator like our son had fallen in love with. Then the NorthernTool Cataloge came in the mail and we saw this excavator. The delivery was very quick and the price is much cheaper than the effort involved in making one. The quality is great but I still have problems getting him to come inside. He loves this excavator, his only complaint was that it was red (his favorite color is orange). Anyway, we can alway spray paint it. Bottom line, for an outside-loving child from ages 2-6 this a must have! Assembly was very simple and quick.

Kids loved it. Great toy for kids 3rd grade and less. Any older too big for it. Kept my kids busy for hours. The one toy they keep comming back for. Only problem was the nuts and bolts fell out after three months. I switched to locking nuts and the problem was solved.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

Both my 4 and 7 year olds love this thing. Luckly we have a huge sandbox though because I know they'd be dumping the sand outside of the box if it would reach. We have had our digger for a couple years now and it is holding up well other than some surface rust on the bucket where the paint flaked off. Not bad considering it is exposed to the elements for nine months out of the year. Assembly was easy, it works great, and it entertains the kids for hours - who could ask for more??

I bought 2 of these based on the reviews I read. I'm glad I did. They are well made and one of the best buys I've made in a long time; well worth the cost. My nephews love them. The 5 yr. old took right to it. The 3 yr. old took a little longer but he's got it now. I just wish they'd make an adult size so I could play too!

The sand digger I would say is suitable for ages 5 and up. My 2 year old has a lot of trouble lifting the bucket to dig. The sand digger could use a little more seat clearance between the seat and handles in order to pull up sand.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

Three grandchildren ages 7, 6 and 4 loved this toy. The 4 year old boy got on it and in less than 5 minutes was moving sand like the big boys from one spot in the sand box to the bed of his big T***a Truck hauler. He stayed on the thing for more than two solid hours until called to wash up for supper. The two girls can't get on it if their brother is in the yard. This scenario has replayed for six months running so far. I'd say the toy was a great success. The only down side is that my DIL and son complain of sand all over the house now. Gotta love it. UPS beat up the flimsy box it came in but all parts were intact.

I loved playing with one of these when I was a kid so I got one for my three year old son. He loves it. He is about the size of a six year old so it is a little small for him but for quality and function I was not disappointed. We had a tard sale and several people tried to buy it. We mentioned it to his pediatrician and pretty soon I was in her office looking it up on your site for her.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

First I have to say that the base for this toy could NOT be built for this price, making this an excellent value.
I have two little people who are tough on everything, one is a 4yr old girl the other a 2 yr old boy. These two went nuts over the dirt digger and handled the controls right away. Lucky for me I bought two of them.
Only things I thought I would give a negative tone too would be these, the seat seems too close to be able to pull the handles all the way back, (my 4 yr old actually prefers it close). The other thing is that the bucket won't quite bump it's payload when extended. Both of these are cured with the drlling of a few holes, but not nesessary for complete enjoyment.
My 2yr old can work the controls well but has to stand to turn the unit (could have foot pegs to keep him in the seat when digging).
We have used this in my pile of driveway gravel and my little girl did great, I am sure this is fantastic in sand or pea gravel.
Putting this together was fairly easy, under 30 min., really only two bolts/nuts for the seat and one more for the riging, everything else is already assembled. Slide the seat post into the base and dig !
Too cool !! Will last a LONG time I'm sure !! Getting more for the nephews !!

We tied a garden gnome to the seat of this toy with a sign on his back, 'for hire', & planted it in the driveway of some friends who run an excavation business. It worked, as we all got a good laugh, especially since we put the bucket on backwards. You might consider calling it a "sandlot toy/yard ornament" in the catalog.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

The digger is okay for the amount we spent on it. I wish we would have bought a higher end brand though. The gears on the device are too close, making it almost impossible for our son to manipulate the digger while sitting on the seat. The packaging was very poor. The box was open at the top, exposing the toy. There were some scratches on it because of this, but we figured it would get alot more scratched, so ignored it.

We have a large sandbox and the the kids have always loved playing with these things when we are out and about at the playgrounds. So I thought having one at home would be fun for them. They love it. It keeps them occupied for awhile and they love moving the sand around to build whatever it is they are building that day.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

This "Little Dipper" is just what our little rascals need to work with in the sand pile (pit). In addition to having "GREAT OUTDOOR FUN", this tool/toy should work with them on building their physical strength, enhance their thinking process, encourage planning with expectations of results as well as building eye - hand coordination. Most every little boy wants to dig in the dirt with their hands as a toddler by age 2, with a shovel at age 3, so why not a scooper at age 4. We're hoping this with be a hit with our 3 & 4-year old grandsons for at least the next 5-6 years. PS. This kind of DIRT washes off. It sure beats the heck out of video games.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

The sand digger appears to be a great toy- my only draw back is that when you move it the seat lifts out- although it is no big deal because you just stick it back in! My 6 year old loves it.... my two year old loves to try, although his feet do not touch the ground with it so it is hard for him to turn it and dig and dump the sand... the product also shipped with the box halfway open so I did not like that... but overall this appears to be a good little toy that will hold out for a long time (it is not plastic)... I am hoping that all of the reviews I read will pay off and this will be a great toy for my little ones and their friends!

Great little toy - my 3 year old loves it. Perfect price and perfect size for the little guy - one thing to note is that it is designed for the younger smaller child, so don't plan on getting one for your teenager or he/she will be too big for the item.

That said, although it is winter here in the northeast and he has not been able to work the dirt/sand with it yet, his Thomas the train engines are getting scooped up a lot!

If you consider what you pay for this, its a great item. Overall its pretty robust and well built but you get what you pay for. In this price range of course there are no bearings so it can bind up a bit. If your looking for a family heirloom this isn't it. If your looking for an inexpensive toy the kids can have hours of fun on, this is for you. Just be careful with young ones as there are several pinch points.
On a side note. Mine got crushed in shipping. Customer service was excellent. Got a new unit no questions asked. Even worked out a deal on upgraded shipping to get it in time for Christmas. Decent product but awesome customer service will keep me coming back.

Purchased 2. First unit missing critical hardware, nuts, bolts, washers. Second unit also missing critical hardware, but it was also missing the digger bucket.

Overall poor product quality and poor packaging quality control.

NTE Customer Service very responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, the replacement unit was also missing hardware.

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

I got this for my 4 year old son for Xmas. He hasn't been able to use it very much because of the weather. He really likes it so far.
I only have a couple complaints. It should have an adjustable seat. The one lever comes too close to his body when he is trying to lift the boom. It would also be nice if it had some type of wheels so it would be easier for him to move around. It seems to be fairly well built. But it needs some adjustability to fit different sized kids.
I may end up adding wheels and a tounge so he can move it around like a trailer behind his pedal tractor. I may also make the seat adjustable. I think when the weather gets warm, it should keep him occupied for long periods of time.

Was purchased for a boss for a gag gift because he always wanted to take the backhoes. It is definitely designed for the smaller children. Maybe 2-5 yrs. My 7-year-old was a bit too large. It is built kind of lightweight to dig anything but the softest dirt. For the price I can't expect it to hold up to a rough child anyway.

This is a well made toy that is simple and efficient. My son had it down pat in 3 minutes. It has a sturdy bucket that makes quick work of dirt and small roots. Even stood up to me and my fellow Firefighters trying it out pre christmas!!!! Swivels very well and has a great reach. May have to purchase another as soon as the little girl gets mobile.
Only thing that could be better is that the seat needs to be set back a few more inches. When my son tries to pull back and raise the bucket the handles contact the seat. Not anything serious, but could easily be corrected.
I would recommend this toy to every parent wiht a young child.
Well worth the retail price!!! Great product from a great company. Many thanks, Todd

This digger is a great toy for my grandsons. They have played with it a lot since Christmas and it is still in one piece. That's pretty good for a two and four year old. I showed them how to use it and they have been on it ever since.

I heard about Northern Tools from a review for a similar product. The reviewer was complaining about the product I was considering, and after reading the review, I checked out Northern Tools site, and found what I was looking for at less than half the price! It took 3 days to for it to get here. It was missing a few screws, but we could handle that. Christmas day our 4 year old was exstatic! I was so glad the weather was nice enough for him to go out and start digging. Our back yard now has a huge "pit" in it. But isn't that what childhood is for?
Thanks so much!

This toy is well worth the money. It's not as heavy duty as I would have liked, but will do the job. My 3 year old hasen't quite got the hang of it but I think it will be one of his favorites once he does. Mine was missing one bolt, nut & washer.

I bought this for my 6 yr old nephew and when we got it I thought it was too small, but we gave it to him anyway. He could not leave if alone. Even though it was 25o he was on it all day and the following, ect. I have recommended this to someone at work for her grandson. It is great.

Our 3 year old was very happy with his "big digger." He is scooping up legos while the cold weather keeps us in the house. It is headed to the sandbox when the weather permits. Great toy for the price, well built, and would definitely recommend to anyone whose child likes to operate machinery.

The Little Digger was 'THE ' hit of Christmas day. Our 5 year old grandson carried/drug the top half back to the house after we had taken it out to the sand pile because he said, "He REALLY wants to take care of this toy"
I am impressed with the quality and value and have recommended it to others already. It seems very well constructed. Moving parts work well and are easy for a 5 year old to use and yet it is big enough for him to enjoy for the next few years. The plan to buy more as gifts.
Thank your for a great product.

This is a great deal! Easy to put together and sturdy. Does exactly what my 4 year old Grandson wanted!! By drilling out some additional holes, the seat can move back a tad to make it more user friendly for bigger kids. Thanks!

This is a great digger! We own a construction company and my son loves the large equipment so this give him a chance to act like Daddy and Umpa and dig away! It is a little tall for his leggs (2 1/2 yrs old) but we just use a few bricks for him to prop his feet on. I have to take it everywhere from the snow piles back in to the house for him to move some toys around (on a rug of course it would damage the floors)...I'm buying a second to have at his sitters! I recommend it highly.

Love the digger! It's very sturdy. Who needs sand - works great in the snow, too!!. I have a daycare in my home so, it is perfect for my little people. I bought 2 to start with (for less fighting)...I may be back in the spring to buy 2 more. I only had one problem with them...they were both missing many of their screws, nuts and washers to put them together... be sure to have some on hand so you don't have to wait for replacements to be shipped to you. Go ahead, order it...your kids will love it!!!

Comments about Kotulas Toy Digger - A Good Old Fashioned Toy That Works!:

This little toy was well thought out and well designed. It is easy for kids from 3 or 4 years old on up to 6 or 7 to operate and figure out. No batteries, no flashing lights, just a good, old fashioned toy that works. Kids need to use their imaginations and this toy lets them do just that. If there was one criticism it would be the difficulty of assembly. Also, the seat post/ pivot was a hard fit requiring the paint to be removed which could result in corrosion. I added washers and grease to every joint during assembly, but some people might not have grease available. Overall, good toy.

I bought this for my son a year ago for his then 3rd Birthday and he absolutely loved it, as did his 2 big brothers - ages 9 & 7!! It's also a big his with the children in my daycare! Since then, one of my daycare parents got one for his son, plus I have bought 2 more for my nephews! It's easy for the kids to use and light enough for them to pick up and move "to a new digging spot!" IT'S JUST GREAT!!!!

I have two boys ages 9 and 2. I made the mistake of thinking 1 digger would be enough. I was very pleased with the purchase. I received the digger in the time frame stated and in good condition. VERY EASY TO ASSEMBLE!!!! Thank you!
So pleased in fact that to keep my sanity in check I 've ordered another one. The first one has yet to be played with outside.(too much rain) So hopefully by the time I get the second one the weather will be better. Thanks so much for the pleasant online experience.

My son got this for Christmas. Once we set it up my son and daughter fought to play with it!!

We have "Scooped" everything from Legos to sand. They really enjoy it and will have years of fun. We will be bringing it to the lake this summer to use on the beach.

With the quality paint job we are sure that it will last for many summers to come.

We thank you for offering this item. we had been looking at all the toy stores for one with no luck. The price is execllent!!

Thanks again.

I purchased this item for my grandchildren! It has given them hours of fun! The digger is well constructed and very stable! It has taken the punishment of four grandchildren and held up very well. I would not recommend this for the very young because of the moving parts, but my grandchildren are from 3 to 7
years of age and it has worked out well!
