12V 4 in 1 Kids Ride On Tractor with Working Shovel Bucket, 180 Degree Digger and Detachable Trailer, Yellow

Most construction ride ons have a bucket that is moulded on for looks, so the digging game lasts about a minute.

Both attachments here actually work off control levers. The front shovel bucket raises and lowers to load or dump, and the rear digger raises, lowers and swings on a base that turns through 180 degrees. The maker notes the two cannot swap positions, so the bucket stays at the front and the digger at the back.

Tractor, excavator, bulldozer, ride on

A front shovel bucket 13 in wide and 6.5 in deep, a rear digger with a bucket 5 in by 5.5 in, and a detachable trailer with a 17 in by 11 in bed. With everything attached it runs to 73 in long, 24 in wide and 26 in tall. The seat itself is 11.5 in across with an 8 in backrest.

What drives it

Two 28W motors and a 12V 10Ah rechargeable battery, at a published 1.06 to 2.63 mph. Ten amp hours is a large pack for a 12V machine. The maker puts the weight capacity at 66 lb and the suitable age at 3 to 8 years, and claims a climbing ability of up to 10 degrees without publishing a test method.

Two speeds or three

Driving it alone gives the child two speeds, through a one button start, a forward and backward button, a steering wheel and a foot pedal. A parent on the remote gets three speeds instead, plus forward, backward, left and right. A soft start and stop sits behind both.

The trailer comes off

The trailer unhooks from the hitch, which takes the machine from 73 in down to something far easier to store and turn. Its bed measures 17 in by 11 in, which is enough for the toys a child wants to move from one end of a garden to the other.

13 in by 6.5 in, raised and lowered on a control lever to load or dump.

Up, down and a base that swings left and right through 180 degrees.

A switch turns the seat to face front or back, so the digger can be worked from the seat.

An adjustable safety belt plus double handrails, both listed by the manufacturer.
