Fun building process, wonderful design, and overall a good kit. My gripes are personal. I would have preferred a ratchet instead of a ball joint for posabilty, and the cab is a bit loose.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together (except the gears, which need some extra room to turn). Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.com/Service if you need assistance!
After the awesome Bulldozer, Excavator, Crane and Cement Mixer, we were wondering when the next construction vehicles were going to drop and this Backhoe did not disappoint!! Super fun to build, with enough little details, and having two movable scoops/buckets on each side is really great! My son and I are able to do many things with it while playing! We can’t wait for the Dump Truck and Front Loader later this summer!! The Construction vehicle sets are incredible and keep getting better!!
