SIKU3558, JCB 4CX Backhoe Loader, 1:50, Metal,Plastic, Yellow, Multifunctional, Can be combined with siku models of the same scale

Good quality digger

Excellent detail and sturdy enough to withstand a three year olds play!!

Our 4 year old boy loves this. It's a bit expensive but is robust!

... right down to the tinted windows of the cab and the controls inside. It's made almost entirely of die-cast metal, the tyres feel like real rubber and are chunky (as they should be). It feels very sturdy and will be pretty hard to damage short of forcibly bending the backhoe and bucket supports.It's not a huge model, maybe 8-9 inches long in it's smallest configuration, but to my three-year-old great nephew who is both fascinated and addicted to all heavy construction plant and tractors, this will seem and feel quite large and substantial.As others have said, the cab door does not open, neither do the support jacks lower, however in the case of it's purpose for my great nephew, this is a boon. If the door opened it would be broken on day one....if the supports lowered they'd more than likely be plastic (or the leg supports would), - they'd be gone in a week.Someone posted that the backhoe rubs on the carpet when the model is pushed firward because it could not be raised high enough, I did not have this problem with the one I bought.As this is metal, including the two buckets and their teeth, it is advisable that if you intend it to be played with by an age appropriate child, that they nontheless be supervised. I have left a card stating this in side the Christmas wrapping for my nephew to find.All in all it is a really high quality, detailed and sturdy model/toy ans well worth the money.

Very good product my son loves it

Excellent detail, my little boy loves it.

Just like in my childhood.

Good quality toy but very expensive for the size of it. Son loves it though which is the main thing. One other issue is that the back bucket doesn't sit high enough so it catches on the floor. See picture.
