Peg Perego Usa John Deere Gator Hpx Review
We just got this put together for spring and the kids LOVE it! They played on it nonstop for 2 hours and 15 mins before the batt died. This is the absolute hands down best ride-on I've bought for them - ever. That includes all the barbie jeeps, corvettes, and wally world specials I've gone through. Let's break it down:
Pros:
Very fast in 2nd gear - It'll move it. Put any pets up for their sanity.
Battery lasts 2 hours - We had 160 lbs of kids riding this thing for 2 hours and 15 mins before it died. They rode on rocks and rough terrain mixed with grass and smooth stuff and I was very surprised it worked that long.
We did charge it for 48 hours before the first run, so maybe that juiced it up nicely.
Dump feature - works well but doesn't dump all the way for small things like dirt.
Traction - This thing climbs over rocks, grass, dirt, pretty much anything reasonable for a child's toy. Spun out occasionally with only one kid in it but that wasn't a problem because once one played with it they all joined in.
Cons:
Horrible instructions - Just pictures of screws and general areas of the toy. Best of luck! And the stickers are misnumbered. I think everyone gets different numbers just to mess with you while you're putting stickers on it.
Cheap plastic bed with false support - There's a metal bar that runs along the top of the bed that supports it and keeps it from bending when you lean on it or put stuff in the bed. It's not bracketed to anything though and breaks off in the first half hour. Fail.
Batter compartment - Way too difficult to pull the battery out. Could have made it much easier.
No seat belts - IDK if it's not on the newer version or if they just weren't included, but mine didn't have seatbelts. No biggie since even our 2 yr old can hang on just fine.
Turning radius - Turns in about 20 feet of space. Could have halved that and still made it safe for kids.
All in all it's a great toy, even if it's got a few flaws. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, though I think I might try the motorcycle battery idea some others suggested for longer battery life. Will report on that later this week!
