Does the crane arm extend far enough over the cab of the truck to be used as a wrecking ball? My son really wants a wrecking ball.

Yes. It extends out well past the cab of the truck, and the crane swivels. So, you could hook a "ball" onto the crane hook and definitely use it as a wrecking ball.

YES, and the cab rotates to the sides also. Very happy with this purchase. We are not happy with the "Wacky " matchbox truck that has a wrecking ball. Save your money!

Our little guy is only 3 1/2 but these Bruder trucker are made very well. Our little guy loves all his Bruder trucks and I'm sure will be still using them when he is 10. The ladder on the fire truck we purchased extends about 3 1/2 to 4' high. He loves to extend it all the way, but he can't even reach the end but he loves it and it is the first and last toy he pays with every time he visits.

No. Not sure what a crane would be used for??? But I am told by the Dad that with batteries the rotors are very loud and the lights flash. My grand LOVES it.

I do not think the magna cart hand truck would work very well for this.The uneven grtipound and large pots you will most likely tip it over.

Hi Blind Dad, This truck is certainly fine for a 10-year-old, But I think the question you're really asking Is "Is it appropriate for my 10 year old to be playing with toy trucks?". Just the fact that you asked indicates your probably not sure, and you may want to encourage him with something more his age level. Most boys that age are riding bikes and playing with their friends. But in the end there's nothing wrong with him playing with a toy truck (I have to admit I enjoy playing with my 4yo too :) Lol

Yes my son uses a trolling motor on his. Be aware that several things are needed to use a motor.

I'm not sure what it'll do with a matchbox car. but i'm guessing it'll push it out of its way until it triggers the front senor. Which will cause the neato to go around it or back up. If it does go under the neato, the vacuum openning or power isnt strong enough to suck up a matchbox car. But i'll be interested to see what it'll do with a ton of legos on the floor.... as for pets...i own a medium size dog. the neato is pretty loud to get the dog's attention. and if it does bump into the dog, it'll go aroudn it.

I don't see how you would be able to remove the crane from the trailer hitch while the crane is holding a load. The crane relies on the truck for stability and to act as a counter weight.

Yes, our 2 1/2 year-old grandson has ALL of his cars in the garage, as long as they "fit" - by his criteria! His little arms can easily reach in and drive them around. He isn't particular whether the cars and trucks all match. He has his Dad's matchbox cars and various other size vehicles. His favorite thing is zipping them down the ramp ! It is also very sturdy because he leans on it to drive cars on the middle and bottom levels. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!

The pitmen arm puller should work well up 1 ton trucks. Use a little heat if the puller gets tight and it will pop off. Leave the nut on a few threads to prevent the arm from slamming to the ground.

no. but the truck is on the bigger side. It's a good one. My sons favorite.

I have a pilot and is to high for the jack but I put a piece of wood under the jack and raise the truck.In reality is not design for trucks you have to be carefull.

The length of the truck is 23" and the crane when fully extended is 39". When you add the extension piece it stands 50". My son's nick name is Hurcules because he doesn't know his own strength and often accidentally breaks his toys. We've had this almost 2 years and I'm glad to say it's in one piece. It was costly but worth every penny! Hope this helps!

Sorry but I gave this Tonka toy as a gift and am not anywhere nearby it to measure it for you. Tonka does make several different sized similar trucks - so your question is a good one !

There are no moving parts or parts that would be easily broken by a child. It is a large dump truck so if you have anything around the house that could be damaged by being run into that may be an issue. It is a well built dump truck.

Absolutely!! It is a great truck and very durable. I got two grandsons one for Christmas and they loved them. Many, many hours of outdoor fun with them. :)

No!!! We have a remote 4x4 truck that we use it for. It's not that wide or heavy duty.
