Joskin tipping trailer

It is so big I love it.

Bruder is always a winner in our home. It’s durable and lasts with rough boys-even outside in the dirt!

This trailer is very cool. It attached to his Bruder tractor with no problems. It actually tips and there's a door that opens for grain/corn to come out. We used popcorn along with the hay elevator attachment also to recreate part of the harvest experience.

We purchased this Joskin Tipping Trailer to go with the Fastrac 3000 series tractor. I was thinking it might be too large, but the fit is perfect with the tractor. The only assembly requires you to snap the hitch part in place, which allows it to ship in a smaller box. This was a little tricky, but I figured it out within about 30 seconds. After figuring it out, I of course noticed the directions hidden between two panels in the box. :) Once you've snapped it into place, its not meant to be removed.The back end of the trailer has a large back gate, that swings up and has several different stopping points where the gate can stay open, so it doesn't just fall shut. When shutting the back gate, if you have your fingers in the wrong place, you can get a little pinch, but nothing really painful, just a surprise. Our three year old did this once, frowned a little, but he didn't cry or anything. I noticed what went wrong and told him to watch out. He hasn't done it again.The trailer holds a lot of 'cargo'. We initially filled it with our entire set of Lincol Logs and had room to spare. Then we went onto using 'rice', which is fun with the small gate on the back. This little gate is about 1"x1" with a little cross-bar in the middle and has a snug cover that slides up with a little effort. It nicely lets smaller 'granular cargo' flow out of the back without the main gate opening. We did rice - I think lima beans or northern beans would work as well. I did note that the larger gate does not snap into place, it just rests closed. So if you fill it with water it will slowly leak out. We tried that in the bathtub.The instructions recommend washing in water after dirty play, which was easy. just make sure to dry the tires as they hold water. Not a problem, you just need to be aware that the inside wall of the tires are open. This is actually a good feature as it allows the tires to flex a little and reduces weight of the trailer. The plastic looks very nice and shiny and has a near glossy look to it. The weight of it is less than I imagined, but the trailer walls are very firm and solid. They are thin but made of a very hard plastic.The three sets of wheels all articulate independently and add a nice feel to the trailer. Our toddler was happy to see them articulate as they ran over my cell phone. The little stop leg that folds down when not hitched is a nice touch, but doesn't really help. Even when the trailer is not hitched, the weight of the trailer rests over the wheels and is unlikely to tip. Because the wheels articulate, the entire trailer is able to flex a little back and forth as you push it around.Overall, this trailer is a must purchase if you are getting a truck or tractor. Some reviewers have said it didn't work with certain trucks. I imagine it works with all 3000 series Bruder tractors. Its a little odd that this is about the same price, or more than some of the tractors themselves, but our toddler is far more interested in this than the tractor, so maybe its justified. I considered getting one of the other collapsible wall trailers, $20-$30, but this one appeared more robust and with larger capacity, which is the main point as it can be loaded with a lot of stuff. The gate mechanism also appears comparatively simple, so it should be easier to operate if you are getting it for a 3-4 year old.

Great accessory as long as you have another Bruder with the hitch on back to pull this around. It's sizable but not ridiculously huge so it can fit a lot to haul around but still can fit under a bed or on a closet shelf.

These toys are not only well made but the little details on them make them so real to little eyes.

Bought for my Grandson ( 3 yrs old ) and it is the perfect size for him to play with.

We like Bruder's quality and detail. It was packaged well, arrived quickly and priced nicely. Would recommend to a friend.
