We got this for my 2 (now 3) year old last Christmas and I was just Christmas shopping for this year, saw it, and decided to write a review. Our son has driven the crop out of it and it still works great. It stays out in the rain and has made it through all four seasons. The battery lasts days of riding it a while each day. We are extremely happy we chose this one!!

Aside from having a somewhat low battery life, which is understandable, I really am disappointed in the tires. I wish they were rubber, or at least had a rubber coating. It doesn't always ride smoothly and get stuck if you have bumps in your lawn. And they're starting to get flattened more since it's cheap plastic. i've been looking around for something I can put on the outer side of the tire to help it get better traction. Other than that, my kids have a lot of fun on it.

I bought this less then a year ago (July 2020) and it literally fell apart. Tailgate fell off, black mesh fell off, the front bumper/battery cover fell off. The battery is in a horrible spot and it’s a pain trying to get that cover on and off to charge. The battery only lasts maybe 20 mins on a full charge. It’s a piece of crap and for what you pay for it I’d expect a lot better. Plus being John Deere and peg perego I expect it to be well manufactured but it’s built terrible.

A must have! The grandchildren ride it every day till the battery wears out. It was a gift and I'm so glad I purchased it. The three year old is a fantastic driver and now the two year old sister is too! It even goes camping with them. Everyone is happy!

No you don't get what you pay for! This tractor is no different than a Power Wheel ride on!!!! I Paid a lot of money for cheap plastic, stickers, and a battery........... No detail or quality you would get in the older version Peg Perego ride on product that i bought for my kids..... Now my grand kids got a cheaper less quality product..... Not even a radio..... Do yourself a favor and buy lesser priced 12 volt ride on elsewhere because they are all the same now

We purchased this for our daughter's 4th birthday. The shipping to store and pick-up was seemless with Walmart, however, after my husband spent hours assembling what he referred to as, "plastic junk", we discovered it wouldn't even go into gear or reverse! We called Peg Perego and they told us to basically troubleshoot it ourselves by disassembling the dumper trailer and see if there is a wire connection issue at the rear. Ya, no thanks! The size was also disappointing being it was advertised for 3-8 year olds and I could tell already our 4 year was going to outgrow it fast. Very upset with Peg Perego as they were known in the past for making decent products and having good customer service. You would think for the price you spend it would come in working condition and maybe have some extra features such as lights and music. Needless to say we returned it to Walmart (again seemless) and will be upgrading to a 24V atv that has all the bells and whistles for a mere $20 more!

While my son is extremely happy... he turns five in about a month & barely fits in it. And my son is only average height for his age. No way could any 8 year old fit. Then the first time my son tried using the lever for the back dumping part it broke. My son loves it & he REALLY wanted the John Deere model so that's why we got it but otherwise I believe there are other models that are half the price that are just as good or better. If you don't need to buy John Deere save the money.

Assembly wasn’t horrible, 12v is fast but the slower option and reverse are both nice. My 4 year old loves driving his 2 year old brother around. Charge holds for a long time which is great because getting the grill off and on for charging isn’t ideal. I’d recommend.

The Peg Perego John Deere Gator works great and my two grandchildren thoroughly enjoy it. However (and this is a BIG however), in order to recharge the battery, the front of the Gator must be removed, which entails either raising up the unit on its rear wheels or getting down on the ground, removing the retaining screw, unclipping the remaining fasteners, disconnecting the battery from the Gator, connecting the battery to the charger, then reversing the process. There are several problems with this process. The first is the cover is not designed for repeated removals and at some point, the screw hole will become stripped (it's plastic), and the clips (which are also plastic) will eventually fail. The second is the recharging process is rather cumbersome (I'm being quite generous when I say this). In summary, it's a great toy for the kids, but not so much for the adults responsible for keeping it charged. Had I known this from the outset, I would have not purchased it and I don't recommend it.

So much fun. Please set aside 1-2 hours (depending on assembly skill level). My four year old loves it. It is sturdy enough to hold 9 year old son with 4 year old. It is two speed and can easily go from grass to straw natural terrain to rocks. Very well made. Highly recommend and it is worth the price.
