Well I Didn’t buy a Toylander (yet)
After looking for a reasonable priced Toylander I couldn’t find the right one and with xmas fast approaching I decided to go a different route for now

Thought this with a nice lick of John Deere green and nice yellow seat along with matching trailer would do them until I find the right Toylander project

What you guys think?

How old are your children? Assuming you have space to use it then go for it, they will love it. I have many happy memories as a child driving a ride on lawn mower and trailer. Thumbs Up BORG - Bucks & Oxon 4x4 Response Group

Just make sure you have a load of old cushions to stack at the back of the seat so they can reach the pedals! Thumbs Up Matt.

The beauty of this is it’s automatic just pull lever for gear change so they will be fine

Plenty of room to drive around

And has to be John Deere colours to match grandads tractor 👍 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)

Great idea PJ.

I’ve got a John Deere ride-on and the mini-Fox’s fight to cut the grass, just so they can drive the tractor Mr. Green

Definitely John Deere colours - nothing runs like a Deere. Very Happy

If you have space, just buy them a series 3, it's cheaper than a toylander. Laughing
