Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Bought this for my dad who can't kneel anymore. It is AWESOME! It's for his Christmas gift and he's going to love it!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I like the tractor. My neighbor had me buy one for his wife.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We bought this stool for my husband to use in an idustrial setting for use as a mechanics creeper stool. The construction is sturdy and the pneumatic tires are a huge plus. My husband is not a lightweight guy and the tractor holds him and the tools needed for the job easily. The height is perfect for the many jobs he works on (cranes, earth moving equipment, etc.). Why didn't the tool companies think of this first? Of course, if they had it would have cost 5 X as much!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
"Some assembly required"I would recommend assembly by a lawnmower shop, estimated cost [$].

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I love to garden, but my back and legs just can't take it anymore. Sooo, for my 57th birthday, my wonderful husband bought this for me so I can continue to do what I love most.. Garden!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I wish that it was a little bit closer to the ground but it will be used very much regardless for weeding and general yard maintenance. The hadle broke off the first time I locked it into an upright position. There was not any penetration on the original welds so I had to take to the local welding shop for repairs. Now that is repaired I will be using it when ever working in the garden.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The seat is comfortable and swivels. Tools are easily accessible in the underneath bin or the rear basket. Adjustable seat height is a plus for different tasks.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This was a gift to my sister. She loved it and was surprised how sturdy it was. Since she lives in the tropics, not sure how long it will hold up.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I purchased this scooter to help with weeding my rose bed and around the backyard which is mulched. I've had 3 back and one neck operations hence it is hard for me to be on my hands and knees or to repeated bend over.Be aware that the lowest height is 19" which I thought would be good for me since I am 5'9" but it is just a tad too high but still usable. Also it is hard to steer with or without weight on it. Putting it together was not a snap but not hard either - I got it done in about 45 minutes. It is a great tool for those of us who are need a little help with the bending!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am physically challenged and this garden tractor is perfect for gardening.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Quick assembly, easy to use. Got a lot more done in a lot less time in the garden. Now, if it just had a motor and a trailer hitch ...
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I feel like a kid, scooting around my garden. Particularly helpfull when pulling weeds and saves my back. Even took my 81 year old dad for a ride!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor scoot is very helpful to me since I can not get down on my knees. I can roll this to the area that I am working in and sit down and pull weeds, plant flowers, etc. The handy basket and tray holds the tools I need.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
great for yard work but to high off the ground for weed pulling
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Would like to see a beefer handle. One that would lock when pulled out because when you stop or push backwards the handle slides in. Otherwise it's great - enjoy using it.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The new handle is awkward to use making the cart extremely unwieldy and causing pinched fingers. The steering is so stiff that it's easier to lift the front end up to turn the cart which is made very difficult by the sliding handle. A combination of good ideas which were very poorly carried out. For me it's back to the old lightweight garden stool which is light weight, easy to pick up and move and is about one third the price
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is a great device to sit comfortably on and move around the raised beds we just put in...now we need two so my just-retired husband and I can both sit, pick, and converse around the beds!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have seen other versions of this scooter, but none of them have all the attributes that this one has. I use it constantly in the garden, for tending the worms, for working in the greenhouse, and - my favorite task of poisoning the thistles.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It sure save my back. I had bought another Garden Tractor scoot, but the wheels don't turn. This one is so much nicer. I gave the other one away.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This scooter helps me tremendously as I'm not able to get around like I used to. It's the perfect height for me to sit on and to get up from as well as to pull weeds. The only drawback is that the handle is not well-made; it seems flimsy.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Easy to put together, stands up to exposure. Makes weeding the vegetable rows easy on my arthritic knees.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
it works well for pulling weeds. i suffered a stroke 9yrs ago and like working in the garden. i can't lean out to far while i stand straight up. again than you.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
A great product for those with bad knees. Solid handle is most helpful as well
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
great for sitting on while you garden as seat swivels
handy basket and storage for tools
handle for pulling as wagon is nice
difficult to "scoot" on mulch or grass
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
the extendable handle make the differance between easy to use and frustrating to use

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It would be nice if it were built a little lower to the ground...
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The ability to adjust the seat one inch lower than the competition is an advantage when pulling up small weeds and planting seeds.
I breed zinnias as a hobby, and this thing is very handy to sit on and roll around on while I am cross pollinating my zinnias.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My wife has limited mobility so we purchased the scoot so she could feel part of the garden project. We so appreciate its mobility and handy baskets for holding gardening implements.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have back problems and being able to weed and harvest from a sitting position rather than bending is a great help to me. The basket and rack underneath are a great help, too.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I find that the seat cannot be lowered enough for comfort in pulling weeds in a flat bed. mobility is very good and construction seems sound with the exception of the handle.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I, like so many others, have been a bend over gardener. So nice to garden in a seated position, and be able to roll along my garden paths. The harvesting of the vegetable garden will be the next test.
I also have used it to my great satisfaction for staining on the lower cedar siding on our home.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I'm very disappointed in this product. I had your small version and loved it but I got so I couldn't get up off it as it was too low. This new product is just too hard to handle and I wish I had my little scooter with a higher seat.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use it for the tedious job of weeding large flower beds, both raised beds and ground level. I also use it when potting and repotting plants.
I call it my Grandma mobile. My aching knees especially appreciate it.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I bought the Tractor Scooter for my wife to replace an old, low to the ground plastic scooter that was causing her knee pain and trouble standing after long use. Since switching to the Tractor Scooter she no longer has either problem! The long handle makes it easy for her to steer and to pull it through rough soil and thick grass. She even has a blast riding it down our driveway!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I will be using the Scoot at my raised Garden beds for I have problems with my knees and can't get down on them. It is built very sturdy and moves very easy. My only complaint is the Grip needs to be larger and glued in place.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor scoot makes picking beans really a snap. The scoot just moves along and you are positioned just right to pick. No back breaking bending over, just sit and scoot. Great product.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This tractor scoot is exactly as advertised, I am able to garden without the strain on my back, and can pull it around with me. I love it.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
THIS ITEM WAS A GIFT FOR MY FATHER..... MY MOTHER TAKES IT FROM HIM WHENEVER SHE CAN !! NOW, I WANT ONE FOR MY SELF!!!!! THE SEAT IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND GREAT FOR JUST TAKING A MINUTE TO SIT AND WATCH THE GARDEN GROW. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMENDED !!!!
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is so much better on my knees. Kneeling just is not an option any more. I tried one of those seats that tilts and rocks, but i fell off. The tractor scoot is much more stable. Because of the swivel seat, I can work on two rows at a time.
the only "problem" is the small black handle grip slips off too easily.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This product is a mental health lifesaver for my husband who recently fractured his tibia. Product allows him to "scoot" along vegetable and flower beds and put his hands in the dirt. Lots of room to carry water bottles and garden equipment. Seat is comfortable and swivels where needed. The only problem is the pull handle. It slips, i.e., does not lock in place, which makes it difficult for me to maneuver the cart.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Because its hard for me to walk far, I can now go anywhere I want outside and sit down when I get tired. I am so pleased that I can easily get to and work in my garden.
Welding could be better.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I found it to be very comfortable but a little difficult to steer. Also it rolls down hills while using it. Perhaps some kind of braking system could be added.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I bought the Scoot for a birthday gift which gave me the opportunity to put it together. It is as cute as it can be. The cotter pins are weak and break easily. I replaced them with stronger ones and it all seems good.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have had knee replacements and thought I would have to give up gardening, but this makes a huge difference. There's no stress on my knees and back. Great product.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Helped hubby put it together. Not too difficult at all. One thing I learned is that it's difficult to steer if the bolt connecting the steering to the wheels is too tight. Just loosen it a little if that's the case. I now can weed comfortably as long as I want without getting too tired, or achy, or dizzy when I stand up. The tires are great on my uneven ground, and it's so convenient to just 'weed & scoot.' I'm very pleased with my purchase and I've been telling my friends about it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Seat needs a 1 inch covered pad with elastic retention
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great item.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Useful gardening aid, allows weeding and dead-heading from a seated position so it's easy on the back, less bending and kneeling. BUT, assembly was not easy, required two people and several wrenches. It is hard to steer while seated, the handle sticks in the lower position so one needs to get up to pull it out to steer. Moves very easily, watch out if you're on a downhill slope.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This product is very good for people with back problems. I think it would also be great for someone with leg problems as well. It is a very helpful product when weeding the yard or garden.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It is very helpful for pathside weeding and removing spent flowers, as well as planting. I am not able to kneel due to a total knee transplant, so the scooter helps me get as close to the ground as I can without kneeling.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Overall, I really like this product. The assembly was very difficult and aggrivating. However, once assembly was complete I really started to love this product. It is very sturdy and durable.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I've tried the plastic variety... online and the one at major hardware stores. Returned all of them... such a waste of $$!!
The deluxe Tractor Scoot is well designed and great for sitting and weeding the flower beds comfortably! The inflatable tires make for a smooth ride and don't scare the birds.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We had the "original" Scoot; the Deluxe Scoot is way better - beginning with being steerable. My wife loves it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
For the first time ever, my Delux Tractor Scoot allows me, a disabled gardener, to garden in a seated position high enough to allow me to preform any task, then easily standup without the usual pain and struggled caused by other carts whose seats are not nearly so well designed. My husband was especially impressed by its rugged design and how well it was built. I love the adjustable comfortable extra wide curved seat, perfect for a plus-sized gardener like myself. If I could add one improvement it would be breaks. It is by far the best handicap gardening tool/investment I have ever made.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This nice garden scooter is sturdy, comfortable, solidly built. I appreciate the tool tray and the basket for bringing along my clippers, shears, etc.
This saves a lot of wear and tear on my back and knees and lets me continue my favorite activity-
Gardening.

grand child thinks it is a for her
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great Item
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am 65 and have a replacement knee and hip and kneeling is out of the question. This has helped me get close to the ground without bending.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I bought this as a gift for my 85 year old father who has problems with his knees, but enjoys gardening. This product not only makes his gardening chores easier, it works well for other chores where he might otherwise need to kneel or repeatedly bend his legs. It is very sturdy and versatile.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My wife and I are disabled. The plastic tray was difficult to install. We love the ease and comfort of the seat. The handle slides too easily when we use it for support, but we have learned to adjust.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor Scoot works great in the grass along the garden's edge, I am able to move it while still sitting. In the garden on dirt it doesn't move so well when I am sitting on it because of uneven ground, but still very helpful because I am able to sit a minute while weeding and rest. The wheels are big and sturdy so I don't have to worry about sinking into the ground.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This device makes me so much more mobile in the garden. I don't have to get on my hands and knees (and back up). I have MS and this tool allows me to move easily in the garden beds. The scooter is very sturdy and takes away balance worries. It saves my energy for maintaining the garden; not getting up and down. Do you have any automatic weeding machines???
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Saves my back when I weed. The tool bins are handy.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use it for weeding, planting and thinning
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I was worried about putting this tractor together after reading some of the reviews,BUT they were wrong. It went together very easy, All of the screws, nuts, bolts etc worked perfectly the first time and every time. I would order one again, but because it is built so well I will never have to buy one again, and I highly encourge everyone that has a bad back, can not stand for any length of time, overweight, bad knees, etc. to purchase one. You will never be so glad that you did. Now you can throw away that 5 gal. bucket, old chair, stool etc. that you are using. [...]Thanks for a great item at a great price for such a well built item.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Use the Scoot everyday. looking for weeds, and insects. Also to add food to each plant etc.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This cool little scooter is the perfect height to plant and weed and pick flowers or veggies! The bright green is easily seen in the garden and the seat height adjusts up and down, as the seat turns all the way around. Great basket and tray to put lots of tools and stuff. Great handle for pulling from one place to another. My husband had no problem assembling it in about 15 minutes! A great birthday present to myself!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Good height for older gardeners. Weed and pick
vegetables in rows. Cat can't sit on seat, as he
did on my previous Scoot and Do.
Do you have wheel & parts to fix my original yellow Scoot and Do?
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Gave this to my daughter who is having knee trouble. She loves it!!!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Take time getting use to the scooter and where you can use it. For example, it didn't work very well inside my flower beds but was wonderful when I was weeding the straight rows in my vegetable garden. It was also a life-saver the day I clipped the large weeds along the fence row. I know I'll find many more uses as time goes by! Thanks!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It is for two elderly avid gardeners. The steering could be greatly improved. Item is extremely well built and sturdy with no worry of tipping over. My father is 95 and manages on it quite well. Do think the steering leaves room for improvement
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is ideal for alot of the work around the yard in maintaining it...don't have to bend over so much. Can even use it when waxing the lower part of the car. If we get tired of using it in these activities, it is sturdy enough that maybe could use for a go-cart.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor scoot is extremely well made and fairly easy to put together. This really saves on the back and knees!! I highly recommend this product to all gardeners.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is such a perfect tool for me. I am older and can no longer get on my hands and knees as easily as before to "play in my garden", and my new "tractor" is perfect - no more up and down. I can even sit on this and actually "drive and steer the tractor".
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
very easy to wheel around to area working, holds plenty hand tools,large swivel seat very comfortable,variable height adjustment great for different jobs, easy to roll while seated to move along area working, takes all strain off the back and saves the knees,excellent product and well worth the money.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor scoot makes weeding the gardens a breeze! Thank you Gardners Supply for a great product.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My husband has countless flowers and plants in our yard and works with them everyday. His knee replacement and need of another prevents him from kneeling. His age and arthritis impedes his bending over. I've considered this garden scoot for 2 years, wondering if he would use it. I got it for his 67th birthday this year and put it together myself. The instructions were very clear and precise. It only weighs 40 lbs. and is very sturdy. He finally gave in (pride) and used it and said it is very helpful. I'm sure he will be using it more and provide much beauty to us and our neighbors with all his flowers.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use my tractor scooter to garden and while I am building my rock garden. My back was recently injured and I thought I would have to give up my passion for outside work. I am glad I purchased my tractor.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Best quality I have seen.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
gardning and lawn care
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This well made tractor scoot has been great for pulling weeks and other garden work that used to require bending or kneeling. It has saved a great deal of wear and tear on my knees and back. It's heavy enought to not topple over on uneven ground and the seat is big enough for my husband to use comfortably.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am unable to kneel to plant my flowers, by using the Deluxe Tractor Scooter I can resume the planting, a hobby that I love!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Took a little time to get together, but has a very solid construction. The handle is pretty awkward to use and doesn't perform very well - very difficult to maneuver. The price is very high for this item and the tray beneath the seat holds too much water and makes me believe that it will rust quickly. It looks great, is a perfect height, it has seems very durable and the seat rotation is a very nice thing to have. The price and other difficulties makes me rate it as average because I believe that they cancel out the great qualities.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I was looking forward to this as the answer to knee replacement. It is much more substantial than it appears. The size is good as is the design except for the blunt somewhat sharp leg edges of the seat. It needs a mat or large towel if you are wearing shorts. It is very stable and does not scoot or at least not in my yard. I accumulated a set of childrens gardening tools to use while on the scooter. They have between 23 and 27 inch handles and are just right for my raised beds. I really like the upright stable position of the handle which helps one rise from a seated position. I would buy it again.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
One of the first uses of this product was to help my husband cut back the Peony flowers that had "blown". We have over 50 feet of Peonies and it has been a back breaking job to cut them back, until now!
Also,the "Scoot" made the task of planting tomato plants much easier on my back this year.
Love the "Scoot"!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Needs to be lower
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It could use a retractible handle,allowing it to be both pulled and steered. Locking features on the wheels (similar to those on wheel chairs) would keep it staionary while one is working. Grips on either side of the seat would aid dismounting. It is well-made and very sturdy, but somewhat frustrating to use without the above features.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Just the product I needed to continue my love of gardening after knee surgery.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Those tiny screws that attach the black carrier to underneath the scoot are a joke. I had to go to the hardware store and buy some 1/2 inch ones. The scoot came with the rectangular rubber piece unglued. Now I am trying all sorts of glues to get it back on to buffer the handle against the steering mechanism.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Due to a bad knee I needed something that I could sit on to plant and weed my gardens and this has been a perfect purchase for that purpose, it is easy to get around on and is very sturdy,and it was fairly easy to assemble, the only problem I have with it is keeping my grandkids from going down the driveway on it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We are really enjoying this product, and I think we may need to buy another. I use it in the garden patch, and it's perfect for raised boxes...the perfect height to stake all the tomato plants, without having to bend over again and again.
My husband has really enjoyed using it to work on our boys' 4-wheelers. It holds all the tools, and is a nice place for him to sit and not have to bend over them or squat next to them.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
works great
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This product moves well and the adjustable seat makes it very comfortable. The handle came off and had to be welded back on because it was really weak. That is the only issue with this tractor.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The manufacturer evidently never tried to bolt this item together as several bolts were too short for easy assembly.. especially on the tray ..
I had to use my own bolts to get this tray with steel support bars installed.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The ad said the tractor was "back-saving". More than that, it has saved my knees. I have bad knees which has made gardening a wee bit difficult. The tractor scoot helps me to stay off my knees while allowing me to get the work done. The four wheels make it especially stable. It is the best gardening tool I have!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great for handicapped person. We had the older model, but really wanted the capabilities of the new telescopeing handle. A lot of money for that, but my wife can use it! The old one was great, just did not have a user friendly handle!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Steering from a sitting position could improve but everything alse is good
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This product was purchased for my 67 year old mother that loves to garden. The seat is of perfect size and can be lowered or lifted to the height of which she needs. I is quite the fun little ride for her 35 year old daughter too :)
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Putting on the tray and tool holder was difficult.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
i love my scooter ,i can't get down on my knee,and the seat is the right hight,and the baskets are a great help to, the only thing i would change,would be to add a brake. it sometimes moves when i'm bending over . thanks so much ,,betty
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
sure enjoy my little john deere tractor scoot
works great while weeding, planting, etc. from
my raised veggie, flower beds.....
I found it easy to get around with & love the colour
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The scoot has helped with avoiding lower back pain associated with gardening. It might work better if the wheels moved like the ones on the front of a grocery cart since our garden rows aren't necessarily straight, but I love it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have degenerative osteoarthritis and can not stand for any period of time or walk very well anymore the scoot has let me enjoy getting in the garden and doing some of the work I so loved to do before I became disabled. Thank You for such a sturdy and handy transport. Keep up the good work.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have used the garden scoot in my greenhouse and for working in beds outside, too. It really does ease the stress on my back, knees and feet for this type of work. The only complaint I have about it is the rubber pad that is glued onto the structure at the bottom of the handle to enable use of the handle for backing up and steadying oneself while getting up or down isn't glued on very well. I am going to have to find some stronger glue for it. Otherwise, I love it!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This scooter works great in uneven flower beds due to its large wheels.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Worked well after having foot surgery and needed to scoot along the ground . A little difficult to steer while on it; but may have been tight since was new; and needed some adjustment by husband who put it together without swearing!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am recovering from foot surgery and the scooter helps me be out in my yard and do some lawn work and gardening. Sometimes the scooter just provides a place to sit and rest.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Deluxe Garden Scoot is a must for anyone who has physical limitations. After having had both knees replaced, I could not kneel to do my gardening. The Scoot allows me to bend over comfortably and weed to my heart's content! The construction is very heavy duty, which allows you to feel safe when bending over (no tipping.)I would recommend this to anyone that loves to garden comfortably.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Scooter was easy to put together (with Grandpa's help) and is SOLID! Easy to manuever, the handle stays in place & offers support in getting up from the comfortable seat. I like the underseat tray for storing my tools and the back basket for my water bottle & gloves. All we need now is a mini license plate which says "Gram's Tractor!"
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use this scooter for planting and weeding my beds. Have tried plastic scooters and they just don't have the comfort or sturdyness of this all metal scooter. The seat is wide enough and the fact that it swivels is a plus. The large wheels move over uneven groung easily. Thank you for offering a quality product.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great way to haul the essentials for gardening & sit while weeding

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I consider myself a fairly handy woman but putting this thing together was hideous. I'm almost 60 years old and am healthy, but a person who bought this thinking it would help them better garden with some health impairment issues (bad back, bad knees, mobility etc.) might not be able to put this thing together. I bought this for my husband who has some lower back issues. If I had bought it for myself, I would have returned it. I would have gladly paid more money to have this thing arrive ready to use. [...]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Tractor Scoot saves a lot of bending and allows work in a comfortable position.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I can easily get up and down with two bad knees. I can guide it with my feet while seated. I like using the swivel seat for greater movement. The storage bins are great to carry equipment. Makes my weeding and gardening SO MUCH easier! Great product!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I like the basket in the back. It's perfect for our portable phone, water jug, gloves.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I used it for planting the 40+ large containers I have for display of flowers, round about 12" tall.
Great for easier bed prep. and planting. However due to a bad weld, the weld that held the ring for the handle broke right away, I had to pay to have it welded. I also then modified it to pull behind my John Deere Gator CX. This was a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT !! I'm happy with it now.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Works great I use it every day.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Being in my 70's, it's not easy to kneel and bend to do low level chores (planting, weeding--even sitting to scrub baseboards, etc.). The scooter made these chores a lot easier. The tool storage makes it all the more handier. Downsides: the handle cover would not stay on; it's difficult to turn the wheels while sitting.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It seems very sturdy and holds a great deal of the small equipment I need for gardening.
HOWEVER.....Even at its lowest, the seat is a bit too high for comfortable bending (weeding, planting etc.).
So far it's difficult (stiff) to scoot along while weeding and gradually turn as needed.
I'll have to wait to see if I'm able to adapt to these problems or if they improve over time before recommending to anyone.
I have high hopes however. It's just so cute!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This was purchased for my 84 year old Mother. I was looking for something durable, safe and easy to use. The locking handle is a very nice feature which allows her a safe way to sit down and rise. The 360 degree turning seat means less time she has to get up.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Overall, impressed with the heavy duty construction. Regarding assembly, I did have to drill new holes for the front steering mechanism as the pre-drilled holes would not line up correctly. No big deal for me since I have the tools, but could annoy someone who doesn't. Great for mid-level gardening tasks which would require stooping, but too high lower level tasks like pulling weeds by hand in beds.

Once assembled this is a nice tool. It was difficult to assemble as the screws in the photos did not match those contained in the box.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Have problems with kneeling because of my knees. This is a solution for that problem. It is very sturdily made and I use it often.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Used this when planting my vegetable garden and flowers. It is very sturdy piece of equipment. It has a comfortable seat which adjusts so you can set to the side for planting. Saved wear on my back and knees. Easy to move around using the steering handle.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The scooter is very well built and of excellent quality. This wonderfully helpful scooter has given us new mobility. Movement and balance problems were keeping us out of the yard, and the scooter overcame the problems. Steering is a bit tricky, but workable.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have major back problems and this thing makes it much easier to enjoy gardening. For me it's just a little difficult to get up and off of it. Some kind of brake would help to keep it from moving when I stand up. Storage areas are handy and maybe I'll make a wheel block to carry along.
My gardens are extensive and on terraces, it's light enough to drag up and down stairs from level to level and makes sharp turns. Pull handle is a little weird.
It's very cool and everyone who see's it wants one!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It was a little difficult to put together because the nuts would not turn on without two wrenches. The seat tilts so you slide forward. Steering from a seated position is problematic. The handle is fine for pulling, but in the way when steering from the seat. It is still a little too high to work easily pulling weeds and/or planting. I am disappointed as my knees are really bad and I was hoping the scoot would save me.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am so pleased to have a Garden Scoot! I am handicapped - I use a cane for every step I take, but with Garden Scoot, I can continue to enjoy doing things in my garden! While seated, I can use a battery powered weedeater and an electric powered blower. I can take care of my roses, other flowers and a few vegetables, and I can even manually rake leaves in my large yard - all comfortably, and SAFELY seated!!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
this product allows you to efficiently scoot along a planting bed with a minimal amount of getting up and down which saves the knees. this product lets you scoot better than a dog with ringworms.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It is a sturdy scooter but on a slight incline with the seat rotating too easily, you feel like you will slide off. Handle doesn't lock in elevated position. Rubber bumper pad at base of handle was missing. Already rusting.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I hope somebody developes an interchangeable top for the seat that will let me carry larger loads if I want to change it.. and still have the seat to use when I sit..now I haul my bags of manure or soil on the seat.. but having a load bed that could be taken off and fits on like the seat does, would help these 80 year old muscles..
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Assembly was fine. It is difficult to change directions while seated.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
use tractor in the garden, and if I don't feel like weed eating I sit on the tractor and take my time with my automated clippers.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I was very excited to get this cart because I have health issues that don't allow me to bend or kneel. I'm not sure how difficult it is to assemble because someone else did it for me, but it didn't take them very long. The steering is somewhat difficult to handle while pulling or sitting. i have difficulty pushing along while sitting because the wheels don't move as easily as I would like. Also if you are on a slight incline you have to angle it quite a lot to keep it from rolling down. I am still grateful for the steering because otherwise it would have to be dragged or lifting to turn.
Overall I am happy with the purchase, but if I knew I would have to get up every time to move it I probably would have gone with a cheaper option like the rocking one. I do like the seat though, it is relatively comfortable.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I purchased the Tractor scoot as a gift for my Mom, an avid gardener who has has not been able to work her gardens to her liking since recent knee surgery and the various aches and pains associated with aging. She was thrilled to receive this "deluxe" tractor scoot and raves about the superior construction, ease of maneuvering in all directions and the extras like the hand basket and convenient swivel seat. Excellent product. I want one of my own!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Makes weeding so easy. Solid seat gives firm support while leaning into the job at hand. It can be a little difficult to steer. Putting it together took two people and about an hour.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Tractor Scoot is so cute, I have emailed photos of it to my friends . . . but what is great about it is that I can now keep gardening with my terrible arthritic knees. It lets me do all the things I'd do on my knees if I could.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have multiple back problems, but love to work in my garden, this has made it possible again.
It's so easy to sit on it and weed or plant. And it pulls like a little red wagon. I'm having trouble keeping my grandson off tho, guess I'll have to get him one and put him to work. Thank you for offering this.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have arthritis in both knees and the scooter allows me to work in my flower beds again. My daughter gave me my first one a few years ago for Mother's Day. This year when I saw the one with a handle, I had to have it and passed my old one on to my sister-in-law. Upon opening the box, the tires do have a very toxic odor that lasted more than 24 hours. The odor lasted a few days, but gone now.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I love my garden scoot but I wish it had a wheel lock on the front so I could scoot down the straight rows.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I AM ALMOST 80 YEARS OLD AND WAS FINDING IT HARD TO GET DOWN ON MY KNEES. THE SCOOTER ALLOWS ME TO SIT DOWN DIG TO MY HEARTS CONTENT!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The long handle makes it easy to take this cart from one flower bed to another. Great for going up and down rows in the vegetable garden, and for weeding along pathways. I'm giving away all my other contraptions..... this is THE one!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
All this cart needs is a motor so I could take it to the supermarket and back. Around the garden, it's great! After hip surgery, I was told not to get down on my knees. This cart allows me to do my weeding and planting with no stress or strain. Fabulous!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Why the metric nuts and bolts?
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We love this newest addition to our garden. This little scooter has made it so much easier on our knees and backs. Very easily assembled, and much sturdier than we could have imagined. Tires were a little stinky that was easily solved by allowing it to sit outside for a couple of weeks. We look forward to having this around for years to come. Both our knees and backs thank you!!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am on oxygen, and the back basket is the perfect size for my little Helios tank.
The steering, however, is the first thing I noticed as a problem. I agree with the reviewer suggesting the handle style from the 'little red wagon', or perhaps even some type of wheel for turning while still sitting on it. And,if you stand up and it's on a hill, it WILL take off downhill!! The only issues are these two, neither of which would prevent me from highly recommending it. The seat is WONDERFUL!! I am able to enjoy our flower gardens again, and be comfortably seated.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Tractor Scoot is so well made from its tires to the metal handle! Very easy to pull from area to area. Metal "tractor" seat is very comfortable and I love the fact it swivels. Large tires make it very easy to pull.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have long gardens need to go "down the line" can stay seated and move along hard time steering and sometimes the seat is too high hard to reach the groundcover
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Much improved - easier to pull behind you and move from place to place.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This implement finally allows me to get back to my gardens! I broke my back over 22 years ago and have been able to do less and less every year. This tractor scoot with its large tires allows me to access my gardens and sit while working - without getting stranded because the seat is too low! (Something that has happened to me with a different garden seat I used to use!) I can easily scoot it along and just as easily stand when I need to finish a section of garden.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have bad knees. This tractor scoot makes it easy to scoot across the flower garden and do the weeding without bending up and down.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is an ideal tool to get around the garden without strain to the knees. Very handy ! ! The skooter came in just a few days and was surprisingly easy to assemble.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I really like this little scoot! It's small but well-built and durable. At first I thought that the scoot would be a little too high for planting and close-in weeding, but I was wrong. The scoot is a good height and the seat itself is adjustable. Another feature I like is the movable stake in the front: you not only use it to pull the scoot around, but to get up and down. Trust me, when you hit your mid-40s, you look for stuff like that! The scoot also has two carriers for tools, gloves, etc., plus it's easy to store. Oh, and it was easy to assemble, with clearly written instructions.
Love it love it love it!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Used to weed and also sit in place transplanting. Was surprised how cumbersome it was to put together. Screws were not long enough and air was very blue as husband tried to have patience to construct. Eventually all was completed but just not as satisfied as I hoped to be. AND...is it just my scooter or do all the tires stink to high heaven like this one? Cannot store it within smelling distance as it really turns your stomach!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Finally I have found the seat that is right for me! This scooter lets me get down to a level where I can weed and plant and I no longer have to contend with an aching back from bending straight legged or worry how I'm going to get back up from sitting on the ground to garden. As a person with advanced arthritis in both my knees I had been starting to think gardening was going to be an activity of the past. I had purchased other garden seats with poor results - one seat broke off and another is way too low. This scooter lets me adjust the seat to a height that is comfortable for me. The tires make rolling through the grass easy and the basket and tray come in handy for stashing tools and empty planters. The handle is nice not only for pulling the scooter, but also as a help to stand back up. The construction seems sturdy and my son had no problems putting it together. The only suggestion I have is to possibly make it in red for all of us Farmall owners! I am happy to be back to my plants!!!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE!
Great product that really makes my 10" high raised beds easier to handle. There are a few minor things that could make this product perfect:
1. Two screws that hold the plastic tray (under the seat) on need to be longer by 1/2". (These are easily found at any hardware store.)
2. Some kind of wheel lock for use on steeper slopes would be helpful; it tends to roll a little on steep slopes. (Bricks or large rocks work!)
3. I'd like a handle more like a children's wagon handle. This is just a personal preference; the one on the Scoot works just fine.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use a walker and can't bend, so this garden cart was a dream come true as it gets me back out into my garden! The wide wheels keep the cart from sinking into my soft top soil. However, the first time I used it the pull handle broke right off. The weld was incredibly flimsy, so I'm afraid the next handle they send will have the same problem. Also, the screw plate attaching the basket to the cart is not lined up right, so it has to be bent to fit. Then the basket tilts back and forth. However, customer service, as usual, was great and replacement parts were sent out immediately.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I thought this would relieve some of my back & knee pain, but I found it to be a bit awkward. The handle comes up between your legs. I found myself having to get one leg and then the other over the handle to move from side to side on the scoot. If the handle was much shorter it would be perfect!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great to use from stationary position but hard to manuveur in a garden because of steering feature. I have to get off the cart and move it to another location because the wheels don't move in a straight line. If there was a lock on the steering mechanism, it would behave better.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have had similar carts before but they were not nearly as sturdy. I am no longer apprehensive about sitting down and having the cart fall apart under me or having it tip over because it is not very stable. Why bend over to plant and weed when you can sit comfortably and accomplish the same task.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My knees and back have thanked me many times since purchasing the scooter. From the planting to the weeding to the maintaining and picking this has been a treasure. The long handle makes it easy to manuever the front tires while sitting down and I don't have to get up and pull it but can scoot along using my legs. The swivel seat is the cat's meow with the rotation and contouring. If there is a better garden partner I wish someone would tell me because "Ole Scootie" and I have become great friends and I look forward to many more years with her(it).

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am recovering from bilateral knee replacement surgery. The surgery was the first of January 2009. I have for several years watched and wanted the scooter. I could justify the price now. It is great, it doesn't hurt my knees and I can move it around without pain and without getting up. It was easy to put together and is comfortable to sit on and move to where I want to be. Thank you for my freedom to garden.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Takes two people to put it together, but not too difficult. The handle should be redesigned. The shaft doesn't lock when extended, therefore can't be used for backing up scooter, as it slides right down.-this is about the only flaw. Seat very comfortable.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Great for weeding flower beds and garden
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Large Phillip Head Seat Screws that attach the seat to the cart are made of soft metal and easily strip, making it difficult to attach the seat to the cart. The bottom of the screw has a a non slip nut that requres a very large phillip head screwdriver to hold it steady while tightening. The screws are easily stripped. The sets screws should be replaced with stornger steel and have a hex wrench fitting in the top in order to hold it steady while tightening. GS should supply the hex wrench with the Tractor Scoot
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I don't know how I would like this product. It came in about a million pieces, is still in pieces, and I don't know when I will ever find anyone who can put it together. I got step one, I understood step two, but could not execute the step. So there I am! Somehow it did not occur to me that I would not get a product, but just the product pieces.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I bought this product to use in weedy areas in the back yard, The seat-to-ground height is perfect for me. Since I am somewhat handicapped I need to sit to weed and plant. But I thought that the handle which extends would lock and be used as a support to help me up when I needed to stand. It is too awkward. The whole handle assembly is not a good fit for me, it is hard to steer from a sitting position. It works very well if one is pulling it behind like a wagon, but not while on the cart. I think I would rather have a steering wheel than the 'stick' and perhaps larger tires for easier turning in soft dirt. I love that it is lightweight. The swivel seat is great! And I am very happy that it is weather proof. I like the bit of room to hold some smaller tools, but wonder if an attachment could be used to hold longer handled tools like rakes and shovels.I would give this a higher rating and would highly recommend to folks who do not have a foot or leg handicap and could drag it about more easily.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We bought the item to help my wife work in the garden. She would easily be termed a master gardener. (I dig the holes, etc.) Following knee replacement and multiple surgeries on her other knee, it became very difficult for her to work in the garden. Our first step was to build raised gardens. Then we bought the tractor scoot which makes it possible for her to continue gardening.
We were disappointed, however, in the quality of the product. The frame was welded with large pieces of welding material causing gaps between pieces. As a result, the rear axle appeared to be too short. I had to grind down one of the spacers in order to get the wheels mounted. This should not have happened. As a result, even though we find the product useful, we would have to think twice before recommending it to anyone else.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I was very excited about this product, but it has had a few problems. The big thing, it doesn't stear at all. That was one of the big reasons for the purchase, ease of use, but I end up having to drag and lift it, to get it to switch directions. The handle grip is very cheeply made. Could be a little bit better material. Last thing, not a big thing, it smells. I've had it for three weeks now and it still almost drops me to my knees when I walk into the garage. Very excited to used it more though.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My flexibility has never been great, so when I spend very much time bent over pulling weeds or picking produce, my thighs are tight for several days. This seat on wheels helps so much. I spent a full day last weekend working in my flower-beds. I did notice after a full day, the metal seat was getting uncomfortable. Improvement idea: I have a bicycle seat that has a gel pad for the top of the seat and material that wraps around the side with a draw-string at the bottom to keep it in place. Something like that would be an ideal addition.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Use it to weed garden/plants.
Use it to plant flowers.
Will probably revert to my Scoot 'N Do because it is easier to maneuver, lower to the ground and has a cushioned seat and much more storege space.
Basicaly I am very disappointed with the unit because it is so difficult to move while seated on the unit. It is also so high off the ground that you have to bend way over to do your planting or weeding. If I still had the packaging I would definitely return it!!!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My neighbor's 13 year old has been helping me in the garden this year. It took all of 30 seconds for the neighbor's 3 and 13 year olds to start to covet this little beauty, which is MUCH studier than my Red Rider (so I don't need to supervise)and more fun for all than my garden cart. I love the telescoping handle and adjustable seat. The only problem was the bad smell after opening the box (tires) but this disipated after a few days in the sun.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I ordered the tractor as I had knee surgery last year and I can no longer kneel, but still want to be an active gardener. The tractor appealed to me as I would rather sit than bend over. The seat is adjustable, which is a big plus as I need different heights. I love the bright and cheerful color. I am happy with it as it enables me to continue doing one of my favorite things.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I used it in the garden to finish sowing some seeds/plants. It sure beats using a stool and having to get up everytime you want to move it. Just make sure your rows are wide enough, mine were already made before I received it.
I say it's slightly heavy because I have washout on the side of my garden and I have to lift it up to get it in the garden to use.
I'm just waiting to see how long it takes my husband to steel it to work on his motorcycles.

Looking forward to using it once spring finally arrives here in South Dakota. I have it all assembled ready to go in the garage. I am female and could have used 3-4 hands to put it together!

My boss has this scooter and she just loves it, so I had to order one and now I am so happy that I did. It's prefect for hauling, sitting, scooting, almost anything you need it for it's great. It wheels around easily and it' stores nicely. It's very pleasing to the eye and it's extremely durable and worth every penny. This is perfect for the young and the old both. Great product.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
We use the Lawn Scooter all the time to take care of the flower beds. It helps avoid all aches associated with the back and knees. That is a great relief.
The only draw back we have found is that the handle does not lock in place so it is cumbersome to push it backwards.
Otherwise we find it ideal for how we intended to use it. Fits our needs pefectly.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I love this scooter for the comfort it gives me with having Rheumatoid Arthritis. I cannot stand for long periods of time, nor can I squat down to gardening level. However, the handle collapses when backing it up, making it difficult to maneuver into my "parking space" in our garage and also while working in the garden! I think this scooter would be just perfect if the handle could be improved to better move the scooter around.

The steering could use some changes such as longer bolts with bushings in the steering mechanics. Also if the user had the ability to lower the extending handle so the cart could be towed by a lawn tractor that would make it much more mobile.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and the "Tractor Scoot" allows me to finally get close enough to work among my many flower gardens and landscaped areas. The swivel seat is terrific for changing seating directions. The storage area is handy for most everything you need to garden with even my garden spade. My yard slopes and hand breaks would stop the slight rolling. An ergonomic (sticky rubber) handle would give a better & larger secure grip.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This tractor scoot is great because it's heavyweight, rolls very easily and the seat turns all the way around. Love it!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
in a formal garden with established paths, it works great. certainly saves the back, knees and eliminates any difficulties getting up or down. but in a garden that is being established, freshly plowed or on a hillside, dont waste your time with this thing.
overall this is a well built item, though the front axles are made of high grade steel, they were welded to their carriers at an odd angle. the wheels had to be FORCED onto the front axles. this will lead to front wheel wobble and front wheel deterioration - with ultimate failure.
if you spend a significant amount for an item such as this thing, be aware that you are buying a product with a fairly short life. those front wheels just wont hold up. too bad really because it is based on an excellent idea - at least in concept.

I use it for planting flowers, painting low areas, and washing cars.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Made in China - dissapointment. Odor from tires VERY strong, even while sealed in box. Bolts to attach under seat tray were too short, had to substitute with some I had. Other than that it should work satisfactorily.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Heavy duty gardening seat. Since it sits in my shed when my wife isn't using it, I use it for a seat while doing maintenance on the tractors and other equiptment.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
hAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO USE THIS PRODUCT YET,WEATHER HAS NOT BEEN GOOD ENOUGH. I had trouble assembling the product, I had to enlarge all the holes to get the screws (that came with the product) in. I had to use a drill and bit to get the screws in. The main problem seemed to be a build up of paint in the holes. Since my boyfriend is a farmer he does know hot to put screws in.

I have very bad knees from arthritis and have missed gardening but with my new scooter I can now garden again. I also had brain surgery last year and need to rest often. The only thing bad is that the basket needs to be bigger, but other that that THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME BE ABLE TO ENJOY GARDENING AGAIN I am only 55 years old an to young to give up my joy.
Thank you

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
For many disabled it is difficult to get up and down from the ground. The tractor raises your working level while still allowing you to reach necessary objects at ground level.
I also use it to transport small, but heavy, objects while gardening.
It is easy to pull, but less than easy to maneuver while sitting on it. I may be having issues with maneuverability because I have the seat at its lowest setting most often.
I love my new toy! It makes me feel like a kid again. You know, pulling my new wagon.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am handicapped and cannot bend down. This works great for me and will work for anyone that has limited mobility skills.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have tried several other options before getting this gardening scooter and it is the best!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
love the garden scoot !
It's easy on the back/knees when pulling weeds. The basket is great for gloves and pruners. I have even used it to paint the bottom boards on the barn!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I use this while maintaining the beds (pulling weeds, planting annuals, etc.) and also use it while washing the car. It makes it much easier to wash the wheels and lower portions of the car. It really reduces the strain on my back and wear and tear on my knees.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Comfortable scoot that is easy to guide from the sitting or standing position. You can store your tools in a easy to get to place.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This product took two of use to assemble, especially when we had to bend the locking pins on the wheels. Solid contruction. Looks good and moves easily. Does not work well when planting plants in a vegetable garden or weeding. Better use would be for pruning or cutting flowers.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
lets me continue gardening after knee replacement because I no longer have to keep getting up and down

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I am a grandmother with arthritis yet maintain our gardens and deck containers. I had the old model of tractor scoot but had a hard time pulling it around (I had tied a rope on the front axle)and it didn't carry all the things I like to have with me when working on the flowerbeds....I convinced myself I "needed" the new one....and I just love it. I am eagerly waiting for spring to come to Colorado!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The tractor though constructed well--is heavy and difficult to steer while seated. Seat is a little high for some work, but an easy height to get up from by old gardeners with bad knees, like me.
Best use is on a flat level surface. Rolls on any incline. The swivel seat is a good feature.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is the best when re-potting plants to avoid that leaning over position which is so hard on the back. Will work as seat for raised bed maintenance...a little wobbly for doing down low maintenance. Great seat when cleaning out the shed or garage and sorting! Very sturdy.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
While I am still getting used to navigating the Lawn Scooter in fresh-tilled soil, I am sure happy to have a stable, adaptable-height and an overall utilitarian garden/lawn/landscaping "tool".
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This really helps my Mom keep up with her gardening. She loves it. But both my husband and I found it impossible to assemble the seat using the bolts & locking nuts provided. So - go to your local hardware store, buy a different set of nuts & bolts, and THEN put it to work.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I have to have something to sit on, esp. in the summer when its so hot. I have asthma and run out of air and lose all power to stand, so I really like this tractor. It is so easy to wheel to where I have to go. Its not heavy or hard to pull along with me. Its very easy to get in and out of the seat, when I have to move to another spot. I love it. Well worth the money.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
WITH MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT I WAS WORRIED THAT I WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS, IT IS VERY EASY TO USE AND TO GET UP FROM I AM 71 YEARS OLD 6'4 400LBS
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I like this scooter very much and it does pretty much what it says it will. It's a little difficult to move while you're sitting on it, if you're working on grass, but that is a very minor con. It would be better if the handle could be locked for pushing the scooter backwards.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I bought this for my wife and she is putting it to good use and enjoying it thoroughly. She had a small plastic one (which although it was much lighter - it was not anywhere nearly as heavy duty as this). Excellent product and great price too. [...]
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is well made, however, it needs brakes so it doesn't roll away on a slight incline.
It would also be a great help, if the handle would lock when it pulls out, so you can push or pull to situate the Garden Scoot before sitting down.
Small changes that would make a big improvement.
My advice, wait till they get it right !
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Recent retirement has given me lots of time in the garden. The scoot makes gardening, weeding, and pruning easy and provides storage for needed hand tools. I have used the scoot most recently on uneven ground which I have found to be a chore. I am looking forward to getting the weeds cleared and plot leveled so that I can use the scoot in rows to tend to my veggies and flowers.

disappointed that it rusted after being left outside. Being a garden product it should be able to withstand the weather.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I was convinced by your ad to order this scoot and I can't wait to put it into use as soon as the weather allows outside activities. It's so sturdy and I love being able to steer it. I found the assembly process a challenge and still haven't been able to tighten the seat bolts completely. Are you sure a 'large head slotted screwdriver' was all that was needed for the seat? I can't help but think the overall fastenings could be simplified which would improve even this wonderful item.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The Deluxe Tractor Scoot was easy to assemble.
It can support a large person. My wife who has bad knees but loves gardening uses this all the time. It has given her more hours in the garden and doing light landscaping and pruning. The seat swivels and adjusts to different hights so it costom fits me at 6'3" and my wife at 5'8"
This has been a great addition to our yard tools.

I work with relative ease without hurting my back. It is hard to manuver from the seat but has a very secure feeling - strong and steady.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
The improvements from the 'tractor scoot' and the new 'deluxe scoot' were well thought out and much needed; making the item much easier to use (longer pull handle and steering) and easier on the knees and back (adjustable seat height).
The drawbacks I found where the supplied nuts were locking insert type which did not allow me to tighten the nuts to a point the steering mechanism workes smoothly-I understand they do not need to be 'too snug'- but both nuts, washers and bolts fell out of the steering after a pull of about 25 feet! The nuts on the seat bolts would not allow the bolts to tighten the seat (at all) and had to be replaced- they too were the nylon insert type nuts. Same nuts on the rear basket didn't allow the basket to be secured to a point the basket didn't move around and interfere with the rear tires.
Aside from the problems I experienced with the nuts enclosed with this item, the only other improvement I could suggest would be a method to lock the steering handle out while extended- it's a little too easy to push back in the unextended position in case you need to push the scoot backwards useing the handle.
I have been using my scoot and really like it now that I have reinstalled with a better type of nut to hold things together.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It's easy to pull, great construction.The handle is a lttle hard for me get the hang of when I am trying to make turns. Can't seem to keep it extended so I can turn the wheels

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
It hasn't made it to the garden yet, still to cold but I have already put it to use for home renovation/repairs. I had to install a doggie door and it helped being at the level for the install without having to be on my knees or bending over the whole time. I will use the scooter in my work room as well as in the garden and in the yard/flower beds.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My back is not what it use to be so being able to sit and pick beans and peas is great. We had another brand and my husband wanted to sit and pick also so we found this cart. I like this one better because the front wheels are steerable unlike the other cart we have. Can't wait until the garden has things to pick again so I can use the new cart. We can race down the rows now!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Arthritis is knees, hips, feet make it impossible to sit on ground, bend over to weed or plant. My scoot fits perfectly to the raised beds I have for herbs, flowers, vegetables - weeding is a breeze now! With the addition of the handle, no more cumbersome dragging my scoot around the yard - now, I am expert at steering, and drawing my scoot easily around with me.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
This is similar to items selling for a LOT less, BUT it has steerable front wheels. The telescoping handle is nice when pulling this seat like a wagon, but when trying to push like a wagon to get it into a storage spot , or just backing up, the handle collapses to its shortest length. 5 bolts were missing for assembly - had to go to hardware store. I also use this seat while photographing flowers at low angles. Saves the knees from a lot of squatting while setting up the tripod and camera for a shot. I would have given this seat 3 and a half stars if possible. I would recommend it with reservations.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I had one before that did not steer and was cumbersome. This one is easy to steer and works marvelously.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
My husband and son removed the seat and installed a cushioned board for the seat, replaced the handle with a steering handle and I am able to use this as a "knee walker" while my foot is recovering from a broken bone. Soon we will replace the seat and be ready for the garden. Thanks!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I purchased a red one for my frend for x-mas and a green for me and we love them. !! She is a avid gardned and has a large yard, it realy saves her back and holdes her tools at hand. This holdes true as well for me +++plus+++ I have 4 (four) cars that are restored like new and need care to stay that way and this cart is the best thing I have ever used ( i have other roling carts to use around the cars they dont work !!) We love the large weels this makes all the diferance in moving from all types of terain, lawn to cement, plowed to hard pack, and of course all around the cars for detaling.!!! We love them WE have only used them since X-Mas, so we are still nubies !!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
Once together, it was great. Recommended tools should list "husband", too. It was a bit awkward to assemble on my own. I'd like the basket to be bigger. Comfortable seat, saves on the back

Would prefer a brake to keep it from rolling away. Sometimes hard to steer.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot:
I already have the scooter that you can't steer and this NEW scooter is super. I have arthritis in my knees and getting up and down from the seat was difficult now I can just turn the handle and head in a new direction. I really appreciate the seat height adjustment and love the storage for equipment and water bottle. Overall a great product. My husband used my other one when he was spackling the lower parts of wallboard.
