Bruder 02572 MB Unimog w Snow Plow

Bruder IS the name in big plastic trucks, like Tonka was the name in big metal trucks. Well made, tough durable plastic. Trucks really work. In this case a snow plow with spreader. Another Bruder truck we own, a crane lost its side mirror and had a crack in the boom from a high fall on cement. Contacted Bruder, told them what happened, I was sent the replacement parts FREE OF CHARGE. I was shocked since it was self inflicted and not a manufacturer defect. The way to go for long play...

My son LOVES this toy! We put rice in the bed to be used as road salt. It actually comes out the back just like on the real snowplow's. It is made a little delicate but has held up well for a year so far with nothing broken off of it. We do keep is away from my younger son just to be on the safe side but my 8 year old loves it.

My grandson is very happy with the product.

The details are nice. Plow pops off with any amount of pressure applied to it rendering it useless. My kid went right back to his durable Tonia trucks.

The snowplow is a very fun toy with working parts. One of the best features is that it spreads salt through the back. We have several toys from Bruder and they are unique. My son loves the snowplow. The toy is made of plastic, and is not unbreakable, so keep that in mind when deciding if you should buy it for your child. The plow can fall off, but is easily put back on. The truck also works better on a hard floor or surface outside, as if it is pushed on a carpet the plow catches and it will not move forward. This can be rectified by just leaving the plow up, but part of the fun is actually having the plow down.Pros:It actually spreads salt.Tires are rubber.It is fun when there is a dusting of snow outside to "plow the deck."Cons:It is made of plastic. (not a huge drawback for us, but it might be for some)

My son had been asking for a snowplow for over a year. He loves to watch them every year clear the driveway and roads. So we did some searching, thinking we would never find a snowplow for him. Then we found this one. We ordered it for his birthday, and he loved it! We took it outside and filled it with salt to try it out. Unfortunately, the salt doesn't stay in. It spilled over the porch. But that didn't stop him! He's played with it for 6 months, then it finally snowed. It works great outside too! My problem is that he pushes too hard on the top, making the plow not work right and fall off. We ended up zip tied the plow to the front, which really helped! All in all, we really love this toy. When our son gets a little older, we will upgrade to the full metal one!

I honestly don't understand the poor reviews this item has received. We happen to love it. I purchased this for my 12 year old's collection. Yes, he collects all kinds of trucks and is fascinated with snowplows. I was surprised that it was larger than I had expected. It has a lot of neat details such as how the back can open and actually spit sand out. Very fun. Yes, it is made of plastic, but not a cheap plastic - not a chunky Little Tikes plastic either. If you give this to a 3 year old, then yes, I would expect you will be popping the plow back on from time to time. I would say that any child 4 or older should be able to do it themselves 1-2-3.

Very realistic-4 yr old grandson loves playing with it. Well constructed.
