Gardening is easier when you can sit, swivel and roll! Our back-saving Gardener's Supply Tractor Scoot lets you work from a seated position virtually anywhere in your yard or garden. Now, thanks to your input, we’ve made this customer favorite even more comfortable and easier to use. First, we added a longer handle so you can pull the Scoot behind you like a wagon. When retracted, the handle locks upright to make a sturdy handhold. We also lowered the swiveling, tractor-style seat by 3-1/2" to give you better access when planting and harvesting, and the seat now adjusts from 16" to 19" high, to suit your body and the task at hand. Lastly, we increased the weight capacity of the 1" tubular steel frame to 400 pounds. Hefty, pneumatic tires ensure a smooth, stable ride.
And now, our Scoot has a new bucket basket. It’s the perfect size for a 5-gallon pail or our 3-1/2 gallon Tubtrug and provides a convenient place to toss weeds or gather the day’s harvest.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This whole thing would have been much easier to put together if the nuts and bolts that were provided could be hand threaded on and then tightened with a wrench. But being made in China I guess this is what you can expect! I gave up on using the provided bolts and used 1/4-20 bolts to attach the plastic tray. Now that it's assembled, I like it. I bought it to save my back and knees.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Uses so far have been in deadheading flowers - general maintenance of flower gardens. I plan to really use it for picking green beans, etc. in my garden this summer. We grow our beans on fences, so I planted the rows far enough apart that my scooter will fit between the rows. Picking beans can be a back breaking task - hopefully this will help! Love the shelf to keep my tools and gloves handy. Use a 5 gallon bucket to put garden scraps - when deadheading.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My husband loves to plant in our yard, but due to his respiratory as well as knee problems he needed something he could sit on and move along the rows without difficulty. I had a hard time finding something that would hold his weight and still be able to roll. Your Tractor Scoot is perfect. Well made and sturdy, the seat rotates and he uses the handle for balance when he gets up. His only wish is that the seat would lower just a little bit more.
Thank you so much for a great product and allowing me to give my husband the perfect gift.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I love to garden, but unfortunately with two ruptured disks in my back, I have a hard time with weeding my flower beds for any length of time.
After a lot of research on products of this nature, I purchased this tractor scoot. I liked that it was solid, the seat height was adjustable, and it included a rack to hold a bucket for collecting weeds.
When I received it, I had no idea it was going to be that heavy! It certainly was well-built, but the weight of it made it a little bit unweildy when it came to steering it from a sitting position, or stopping it when it was being pulled.
I gave this one four stars because I can tell this one is going to last a long time, however if it had some sort of braking and a better steering mechanism this would have been a five-star no problem!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My wife cannot stand or bend for long. So the adjustable seat is a blessing. I am able to seat and use for various functions. I had been using a five gallon bucket to seat on when working in and around my garden. But this is so much better.
Just wish the handle was a little longer for us tall gentlemen. But other features work well. The tool carrier under the seat is helpful. The basket on the back holds needed items such as plants, watering can, and trash.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I helped our kids pick this out as their Mother's Day gift to my wife, who is an avid gardener with hip and knee problems. We liked that it seemed sturdier than others we saw online, and that it had a steering mechanism with an extendable handle so my wife could pull it around the yard easily without bending over.
I've assembled many things that we've had shipped to us. Sometimes I have difficulties interpreting the dicey directions or finding the right parts or making things fit together just so. I've even assembled things fully only to find I've left out a couple of parts, and then pulled it all apart and reassembled it correctly again. But rarely do I find I have to exert considerable physical strength to assemble something.
Make no mistake about it: the Deluxe Tractor Scoot requires considerable arm/hand/wrist strength simply to screw on the nuts and bolts that hold it together. There seems to be some kind of coating on the threads of the nuts that makes them very hard to tighten, beginning even with the first couple of turns but continuing all the way down the full length of the bolt thread. I had proper (manual) tools that fit the nuts and bolts well, but I had to struggle for prolonged periods to get each and every set on (can't recall exactly, but I think there were 16 to 20 sets of nuts/washers/bolts, and nothing spun freely, not even for a quarter inch).
If you have an electric power tool--nut driver or whatever--I strongly recommend you use it to put this together. I can't imagine most women or elderly people having the arm and hand strength to assemble this without such help.
That being said, once I finished the 2+ hour job of assembling this, I felt I had assembled something distinctively sturdy that my wife would find very useful. She's used it now for a few weeks and finds it to be a great help when she's working in the garden. The seat height can be adjusted simply by rotating the seat left or right to raise or lower it. The wheels are sturdy and move along nicely as she pulls it around the garden using the extendable steering lever. The attached bucket is very handy, and the molded tractor seat is reasonably comfortable (she wishes it had back support, but that would be a lot to ask for in a device like this).
Speaking of the wheels, though, I have to heartily second the sentiments of a number of reviewers here who complained about the stench produced by the rubber tires. They really, really stink--and the assembly instructions duly warn you of that. Take it seriously. We have a large, three-car garage, and the chemical smell from the tires lasted a good three weeks or so before finally dissipating even in a space that large.
If you can live with the negatives I've described, then you'll be happy with the sturdiness, usefulness and performance of this product. Too bad you can't buy this pre-assembled.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This was a terrific present for my mom. She loves gardening but at 72, she wanted a comfortable seat from which to work.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
[...] once assembled, the scoot did the job. I particularly like the handle that pulls out of the steering column,to pull the scoot around like a wagon. It is sturdily built and looks like it will last a long time, a quality offset by its being heavy and hard to carry up and down steps. Plan to leave it where you will use it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I have a little arthritis and this scooter really helped me planting the 200+ annuals I put in my yard this year as well as the weeding and trimming duties. A little unwieldy but this is because it is heavy which is a good thing. Easy to put together even for a senior citizen such as myself. I like the bucket holder and the storage under the comfotable seat. All around good product
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Due to arthritis in my knees, I can no longer kneel to do my edging, weeding, etc., so I asked for this for Christmas. I absolutely LOVE it!! The seat can be lowered if necessary, and it rotates; the tray underneath is handy; and I put a 5-gal. bucket with an organizer on it in the basket, so my tools are ever-ready, and I have someplace to put the weeds. It is relatively easy (depending on the terrain) to move without getting out of the seat, too. It is soooo much more convenient to use--and store--than my wheelbarrow...Best Christmas Present Ever.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I got one for my mother and my mother-in-law and they both love it!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
[...] As I was putting it together, I discovered that I was missing a nut and a bolt. Also, heed the warning about putting the scoot together in a well ventilated area. The tires are pretty stinky.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This is a great little scoot-around. Good for potting and doing things from a seated position. I'm using it more than I expected to.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Well built, can be hard to turn while setting on it. We use it in the garden watering, pots, weeding, etc.

Love the back basket-holds a five gallon pail perfectly. Great for weeding, hauling potting soil, filling bird feeders
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
There is no other like the Scoot. Why I haven't purchased this before is hard to explain. Every job is so much easier to do and with no pain in getting up and down.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I'm "back in the saddle" in my garden thanks to this fantastic scooter! Due to my decreased mobility issues, my access to my garden come to an end UNTIL I FOUND THIS SCOOTER! Now I'm back in the garden every day and my veggies are seeded and planted and doing fine! THANK YOU for offering this fine, well-built, sturdy and PRACTICAL tool!

allows me to move from side to side while gardening
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I did not find it usable for my purpose since the steering did not work properly while sitting. It was also difficult to navigate - pushing with feet. I lovedthe look of it, and felt it was well made. I am returning my tractor scooter. It breaks my heart as I had already named it John in hopes of having John as a good friend for many years.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I love the seat, the basket that fits my 5 gal. garden bucket, I like that I can steer it. My husband was impressed with the wheels and tires, very solid. And I like the handy tool tray. I'm glad I purchased this item !
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This produce looks great in the garden even when it isn't being use. i use it to move around pulling weeds, planting and carrying my tools.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
.anti: .handle won't stay twisted into pull
position
.rubber pad that protects from the handle
in rest position has bad glue and wouldn't
stay on
.Rubber tires that are supposed to air out
in a couple days still smelled up my
garage over a week later.
Good: . provides seat for gardening that is high
enough to get off easily.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My wife had been wanting this scooter for quite a while. I finally decided to buy it for her. It was very easy to assemble. She loves it! Getting down on her hands and knees in the garden was uncomfortable for her. Now she can work in comfort thanks to the Deluxe Tractor Scoot. Highly recommend!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The Scoot saves my back and knees. I use it for planting, weeding and hauling water, seeds and plants and putting weeds in bucket so I don't have to go back later. The one downside is putting it together. Lots of parts but worth my husband's effort. He uses it too.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Very comfortable to use for those with back issues

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The Tractor scooter was purchased as a gift for my mother. The last two years she has not been able to tend to her garden as much as she wanted as my father was sick and has since passed away. So, she was anxious to get back out to the garden this year to get some weeding done. Since she has had both knees replaced this has been a wonderful tool to help her with her gardening. Nice swivel seat and storage for tools underneath. She was asked how she like it by a neighbor and I have given the catalog to her. So you may have another customer if it comes in John Deere green.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I love the deluxe tractor scoot. I have used it to garden in my raised beds. The swivel seat makes it easy to get in and out of the tight areas between my beds. It is especially great if you have a bad back and cannot bend over a lot. There are two things that would make it even better, that is if the handle locked in the extended postion and it had a drink holder somewhere on it.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
What a work horse this thing is. It has got me back in my flower beds again. I have back problems and this thing is just wonderful. I have been able to dig up the grass around the base of the smaller trees in our yard and the flower beds look nice. It is so convenient to have the space under the seat to put my tools, gloves and other items. Would strongly recommend. Was easy to assemble.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I love my new scooter! I had my hip replaced several years ago and bending can be a challenge when working in the garden. This scooter has a nice comfortable seat which swivels and you can adjust the height as well. The tray underneath the seat holds several garden hand tools and my gloves with room to spare. And having the bucket on the back lets me take things out to the garden or fill it up with weeds, etc. The wheels are good size and don't get stuck on my mulched paths.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
can no longer sit on ground and this lets me continue gardening without so much pain. I am so happy to have found this product.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Cute, but as others have said-no brake causes sliding on incline. Needs better steering when sitting and trying to scoot, usually will not move unless you get off. Can scoot left or right when sitting, but can not steer to turn. Great to have tub holder attached.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The comcept is great. Now that we have welded the handle back on, I will see how long it all lasts. It is made of good material and is great to use.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My wife is the user for this. She has been using a smaller plastic version for years, but due to a back injury wanted to be able to stay seated and actually move around her beds; her old one just wouldn't do that. This product has 10" inflated tires that roll well pretty even on soil. The steering could be better I suppose, but careful assembly of the steering mechanism helps significantly with that. Would definitely recommend to others (...and so I am...).

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I need to try to adjust the handle again so that it is not so stiff. I like this product, but my property is hilly and the bucket drags as pulled along. The over-sized seat is comfortable and swivels easily. This was my Mother's Day present!

With a bad back and knees, this is just what I need. Easy to assemble and move. I like the seat swivel and adjustable features, also the large tires. Enables me to plant and weed without great discomfort. This is well worth the price.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This is a great product. I have the red one and my husband the green tractor scoot. I keep a trowel in the tray and a bucket in the basket. Haven't had it long, but wish I'd had it years ago.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I like the scooter overall but am still adjusting to using it. Not easy to move while seated on it but height is good. I have bad knees but can get up and down easily. Like the bucket. It's very handy. Not very difficult to assemble. Seems well made.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Love the attached bucket basket for weeding and transporting tools.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Used to work on tractor, it was right height, easy on the back. Wife liked for pulling weeds in front flower beds.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I would look into the handle, works well moving forward but backing up the handle is not sturdy and does not work well. Other then that the unit is very will made.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Comfortable & sturdy but cannot use in garden due to narrow rows. Okay for picking grapes, peas & trimming several low bushes/plants in a row. Tire smell does dissapate but leave it in the garage!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The tractor scoot is great because it is something you can not only sit on while working in the garden, but it is also on wheels. So you don't have to constantly stand up and move it. The seat has an adjustable height, which is great for comfort. It can't always go everywhere in the garden, but it is great if you are going around landscape beds around the house or in a vegetable garden. Even if you don't always sit on it, you can haul tools, weeds, etc.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Solid construction
Adjustable
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The plastic tray under the seat was NOT easy to install, it took two of us. The frame does seem sturdy and well built. Unfortunately, we have a somewhat sloping yard and so I have to get the scoot situated just right so as not to roll away from whatever I'm working on. I knew that might be an issue, so it's not the fault of the scoot but maybe if there was some kind of brake that could be added to the design? On the other hand I appreciate the simplicity of the design and overall I think it is pretty well thought out.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This is a great product. Easy assembly and good construction. Too bad its made in China. I love the red color and it is so comfortable to use. I will forever have one of these as an essemtial gardening tool. Highly recommended. Good value for the price. BUY IT!

helps me get around
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Scoot arrived this morning. I was surprised to see it was hefty, strong, sturdy and very easy to assemble. It works perfectly as I was able to work at ground level and in the raised bed with no strain to either my knees or my back! Seat is amble for the larger person and surprisingly comfortable. It maneuvers fairly well from the seated position and follows along well in tight quarters when pulled by the handle. I definitely recommend this little scoot for anyone with either knee or back problems. I can work in the garden again without pain!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
When i assembled the scooter one of the wire brackets for the bucket was not there but the weld seam was painted over. I note that RBT Mini 12/10/10 reported a similar, if not the same, problem. Yesterday one of he rings that holds the handle on broke off at the weld seam, a problem also reported by Barry 4/18/11. You urgently need to have quality control by the manufacturer improved. I now move it with a rope by lifting the front wheels off the ground. It otherwise saves me from a sore back and I would recommend it to a friend if only it wouldn't break. But unfortunately, see the "bottom line".
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I WAS UNABLE TO WORK IN THE YARD BECASUE OF MY KNEES AND BACK. THERE WAS ALOT OF PAIN. WITH MY TRACTOR I WAS ABLE TO WORK IN THE FLOWER GARDEN AGAIN. THE TRACTOR IS VERY STURDY AND EASY TO PULL. MY YARD IS SMALL SO GETS AROUND IN IT VERY WELL.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
We love our scooter! It's wide, steady and sturdy on both flat and uneven surfaces. The storage design for bucket and tools is particularly handy; no more running back and forth to retrieve what we need. It's a welcome addition to any outdoor gardner; a must have!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My yard is uneven and sloped. It made it tip often and the tires deflated with every use. It needs solid rubber or fiberglass tires. The seat is impractical. You had to position it "just so". I ended up just standing and bending rather than use it. I like the fact that I could use it with my 6 foot height and it did not collapse under my weight or pop screws. I had no handle so I struggled just to move it.

I gave this to my mom for a gift hoping that she will get out and do more gardening and be comfortable while she does it. She seems pleased, but has a complaint about the handle. I found the directions for construction a little difficult...the nuts/bolts could have been better labeled for those of us who do not know sizes very well. It took me awhile to put it together, but the end result is great! I am very happy with this little scooter for my mom!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
As other reviewers stated the tires really stink, so take it outside before you open the box.[...] this is a great scooter. Assembly was fairly easy, quality is great, use is wonderful. The steering part is a little cumbersome when sitting but still very useful. This is a very sturdy scooter.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Growing older with bad knees, this cart makes it enjoyable to be back in my garden. It is so easy to get up and down again. I need to bring a timer with me,as I love to be outside in the gardens.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I bought the Tractor Scooter so I could weed and plant the fronts of my beds without having to kneel down. Once in position it is good but trying to maneuver around to the next section can be difficult if your beds are not in a start line. The seat is comfortable and rotates well so you can work on a large area once in position. I like having the trug on the back for the weeds, once pulled, and the tray underneath for tools.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I am disabled and have wanted one of these from the moment I set my eyes on one! MUCH easier to scoot around and work in my raised beds :-)

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I am a 65+ disabled grandma that loves to garden. Haven't been able to because I can no longer get down or to stand for any length of time. My litte 'butt buggy' allows me to sit when I need to and the first day I worked a 16 ft. vegetable bed all by myself! For me that is a miracle. Thanks for making this product available and at a price that makes it possible to afford!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This scoot is great. It is solid. It is the same color as my husband's garden tractor which is really neat! It is saving my back. I lowered the seat all the way down which gets me lower to the ground and I can plant and pull weeds and my back does not hurt at all; whereas before when I didn't have this my back and arches in my feet would kill me. I love this thing, so glad I got it, and would recommend it to anyone with trouble bending over, back pain, foot pain, etc. One tip to help it steer really easily is to add a squirt of WD40 to the steering mechanism...smooth!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I purchased this for my husband for his birthday. As it is still cold here in upstate NY, we haven't been out to the garden yet. However, he was able to put this together very easily in our family room. He has tried it out on our deck while repotting plants started inside for the garden. Comments from him were that it was comfortable and it was nice to have all the tools together in one place! Can't wait to try it out in our big garden next month.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
THIS IS MY SECOND GARDEN SCOOT. BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL SCOOT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND STILL HAVE IT. (IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, BUT IT HAS NO HANDLE, HAD TO TIE ROPE ON FRAME TO PULL IT AND THE FRONT WHEELS DO NOT TURN AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO PULL.) WHEN I SAW THE NEW SCOOT WITH HANDLE AND WHEELS THAT TURN I JUST HAD TO GET IT..
HAVE BEEN USING NEW ONE FOR A MONTH NOW, AM VERY GLAD I GOT IT....I LIKE THE HANDLE FOR PULLING....HOWEVER... IT DOES GET IN THE WAY WHEN SITTING AND WORKING IN GARDEN. I LIKE TO SIT PARALLEL TO SIDE OF GARDEN AND USE MY RIGHT HAND TO USE GARDEN TOOLS. BUT THE HANDLE IS IN THE WAY... I CAN USE THE REAR END OF TRACTOR BY REMOVING THE BASKET...BUT LIKE ANOTHER REVIEWER WROTE... I CANNOT SIT NEXT TO GARDEN AND PUSH WITH MY LEGS AND SCOOT ALONG THE GARDEN EDGE BECAUSE THE WHEELS TURN.....IS THERE A WAY TO LOCK THE WHEELS WHEN SITTING ??? THIS IS STILL THE BEST GARDEN SCOOTER ON THE MARKET.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Because I have neuropathy this scoot has enabled me to work on my roses and flower beds without having to bend over from the waist causing back aches. I am unable to kneal and get back up. The stable handle makes this task easily accomplished. I would highly recommend it!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The ONLY thing negative about my Tractor Scoot(er) is that my hubby had to assemble it for me. Wish it came ready to roll! The seat is wonderful. No slipping out of it like my "other" garden wagon that is now used just for pulling things around behind me. Tractor Scoot is being put to good use every week! Bring on the growing season!

The first time I used it after assembly the weld onj the collar that holds the screw seat broke and one of the rings that holds the handle that weld broke
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The scooter is awesome. I had 2 of the home improvement store plastic ones that didn't last a year. This metal one with the tractor seat is much more comfortable and with the drain holes in the storage tray, I don't have to worry if I leave it out in the weather. Love the great color too.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I use the tractor seat while weeding and planting and sometimes just sitting back and watching my husband haul dirt for me.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
this is a great little cart and does scoot around nicely. i was disappointed as the basket prongs came bent and when my husband assembled it, one snapped right off. fortunately, he is handy and had a clamp to hold it on. i am afraid it won't hold a bucket of water, which is one of the tasks i hoped it would do.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
[...]The garden scoot is grossly overpriced for what it is[...]The cotter pins included for attaching the wheels to the axles are cheap, and the misprinted instructions for installing them means a visit to the hardware store for replacements. (After viewing the pins available at the store, you'll realize how cheap the included cotter pins are... and make sure to bring one with you, to properly size the replacements.)The cotter pin replacement was necessary because the printed installation instructions are WRONG for the step that describes their attachment; my husband was unfamiliar with cotter pins and followed the instructions, destroying two of them before frustration got the better of him and he stopped to ask me for help. (Assemble the wheel and washers on the axle, then insert the CLOSED cotter pin through the small hole at the end of the axle; push it through until it stops, THEN separate the ends of the cotter pins and wrap them back around the circumference of the axle, in opposite directions.)Have used this item twice and do find it handy, but would only recommend it if the instructions are corrected and the price point is lowered considerably. For all of the assembly challenges, my husband does like the scoot and has used it as well. (He isn't mechanically inclined, but is learning.) I would also highly recommend lubricating the threads beneath the seat, as the spindle is bare metal and exposed, which means immediate RUST with any moisture. A small tube of light lubricant would have been a thoughtful enclosure. There's also a small rubber bumper pad attached to the stop plate at the bottom of the scoot handle to prevent chipping of paint when the handle rests against the plate... had to glue that back on too, as whatever was used at the factory immediately failed. Nice!In summary, improve the finish, [...] and hardware, and correct the assembly text... and you have a winner. Or leave it as is and lower the price point considerably. I expect much better quality [...] for an item this expensive. This really should be a one-star review, but I'm feeling generous today...
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I had been using a kneeler so that I would have to stand and move it around when I finished a small area of gardening. My new tractor scoot is so much easier to use and saves time as well.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I am now disabled due to heart condition. Being able to sit and not have to get up constantly is helpful to me. The wheels are big enough to hold my weight. The seat swivels which makes it wonderful to move around. Having Bucket on back makes it perfect for me. I was always guilty of leaving things out after working in yard now it is so easy to clean up after myself. Only problem I have is the front wheels do not turn easily I have to kick the wheels to make them turn. I think it was the problem of the person who put it together for me. Other wise I have no complaints about this item.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I bought this for my Mother for her birthday. It is very sturdy and she can't wait to use it on the lawn. It feels like a quality piece of equipment. The only problem with it so far is that the handle locking mechanism is a little odd but I'm sure she'll get used to it.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
It was missing a long enough bolt (bolt was supplied, just not the right length!) ; fortunately my husband had an aircraft-quality bolt the right length!! While I am not using it on steep terrain, I do have hills, and it could use some braking mechanism! Got me a 5 gallon pail and it's a perfect combo!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
It's a great product.[...]. Just don't get the steering too tight. Very confortable seat. I thought it might need a cushion but it doesn't! The basket is pefect size, I just stack my trugs and remove when full, the next one is ready to go.

Will help me from getting up and down on the ground. Disappointed was made in China.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Although a little pricey, well worth it when compared to the plastic garden scooters available. Estending and retracting the handle is an little awkward at first but the convenience of the handle acting as a support when standing is really helpful.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Arthritis is really getting to me, but this scotter really helps keep me going.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Fairly easy assembly, except one pivot hole/pivot bolt are missized. Had to add a sleeve onto the bolt to make a reasonable fit, otherwise it would have been sloppy and unacceptable. It really saves getting down onto your knees and having to bend at the waist to save your back. Well built and very sturdy.

I bought this so I could work on raised beds. No more crawling about on my knees dragging my kneeling pad and tools with me. I think I'll build some new ones now!

i am a professional landscaper with my own business, an avid gardener, as well as a master gardener. I LOVE this new tool. But, it has a not so well made handle.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Love my garden work seat. I was lucky to receive one for Christmas this year. I have a large piece of ornamental grass which needs pruned to 1 ft. each year. This was wonderful to use because it takes a while to cut back and I didn't get wet knees kneeling down. It's low enough to the ground also, to plant. I just love it!!!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Great for any activity that would require you to bend over, kneel or squat to accomplish such as~~~weeding, planting, harvesting, washing/waxing your car, grooming pets, painting.
A big plus for those with limited mobility.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
It was a gift for my husband and he loves it. It will give him more freedom in the garden and outdoors. It is much sturdier than we imagined it would be. Have recomended it to other gardeners in our area.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I am recovering from hip and knee surgery. The scooter's adjustable seat height is exactly what I need, and the swiveling tractor seat is incredibly useful and comfortable. Although the whole unit is very heavy, it is easy to pull along and the front wheels respond easily to the direction intended. However, it is impossible to maneuver it from a seated position. I wanted to continue straight ahead, going parallel to the bed I was weeding, but the front wheels kept turning in as I tried to roll it along, resulting in me having to stand up to correct their positioning. This is the opposite of what I needed; I will have to re-assess this condition to see if there is some way of guiding it while sitting. Previous reviewers mentioned that their unit was rusting when left out in the weather. I have been storing it in the garden shed, but I notice that the enamel is already chipped and know that I will have to be careful.
I have only used it once so far.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Am trying to patiently wait for the gardening season to start! I already have my pail in the back basket and my tools in the tray under the seat. This scoot will help with my mobility after knee surgery this spring. Easy to pull and looks sturdy enough to hold up to my demands. It was also easy to assemble.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This is a very well made item, easy to assemble and works great. When the box arrives, don't move it in the house...the tires really smell foul and will quickly stink up your house. Leave outside or in the garage for at least a week after receiving it to let the smell release from the tires. You won't be sorry you own this cart.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Tractor scoot is great for getting around our yard. Love the bucket holder. It makes hauling weeds, etc. much easier that carrying a bucket around. Really like the tray under the seat for holding tools and gloves. Maybe you could come up with a cup holder? :-)

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Due to health issues, can't stand and garden. Perfect for me to sit for hours and weed or plant.
Adjustable seat allows me to put seat at the perfect height for best standing.
Basket for depositing weeds is great.
Front wheels swivel and handle expands for ease of moving scooter.

Last year Spring pruning was back-breaking. I thought I should remove some of my favorite plants. This year after pruning using the tractor scoot, I was smiling. My back felt fine and the favored plants would be staying!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
With 6 inches of snow on the ground here, I've not had a chance to use the scoot. However, my fifth grader and I had fun assembling it, and it goes very well with my raging case of Spring fever. I've looked at them for a long time on the website and am now glad to have made the investment! What an added bonus to have it available in red like the tractor brand I grew up with as a farm kid.

Just received the Scoot. [...] Good instructions for installation....about 30 minutes. I'm 6'4", 190 lbs. It fits me well and appears to be good and sturdy. I will be using it mainly to weed beds and paint my deck. I have had the smaller plastic cart for years and this is a BIG improvement. A nice Valentines gift from my wife.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Very pleased with the Tractor Scoot.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
It was not too difficult to put together; and once it's step up it's very sturdy. The added basket is certainly a bonus because it makes it that much easier to carry things around the garden. When they save back-saving they mean it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
As there is still three feet of snow on the garden, I have not actually had a chance to use the Scoot, but I assembled it as soon as it arrived, and that process went smoothly. It seems quite solid, and I anticipate that the basket to hold a five-gallon pail will be hugely useful, mainly for harvest, but perhaps for weeding and taking care of other garden waste as well. I don't regret the purchase a bit.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Much more comfortable than the 5-gallon bucket I used to sit on to weed the gardens and flower beds and wash the car tires! Now I can flip the bucket over and put it in the basket - it's much more useful that way. Although my new tubtrugs are way more attractive and a much more practical addition to my deluxe tractor scoot. All the tractor scoot needs is a place to put my iced tea!!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My mother in law loved this scooter. She thought it was very clever and oh so practical. She is looking forward to gardening without grimacing. It would be nice if there was a break on it somewhere. The terrain around her house is uneven and she would feel better if there were some way to stabilize the wheels. But she is looking forward to using it.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I bought this as a gift for my 76 yr old mom and 78 yr old dad. Both have back issues. I put it together for them. It was very easy to assemble with the exception of the tray. Between the angle and the tiny nuts and washers, it was a major pain. Otherwise, great product. My parents seemed pleased with it. Will have to wait for the season to find out if it's as useful as we think it will be. The seat is quite comfortable and it is easy to adjust the height. Easy to steer as well.

Brought this scooter for my sister two years ago. The only thing I didn't like about this product was that the seat broke off in under 2 years. And it couldn't be repaired easily Great product but not built to last - With that being said she loved it so much that I brought her another for this Xmas

Thank you for carrying such a wonderful well constructed product! Marcella,
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
My husband will use it in the garage when he's doing different jobs that require sitting. He loves that the seat turns 360 degrees. The turning of the front tires made a big difference for him. If they were stationery, it would have limited his use for it. I myself will love using it in the garden between my vegetable rows. It will make weeding so much easier.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The concept is good and the execution is basically sound, but it's done "on the cheap". This is definitely not a "professional grade" heavy-duty item, but it will suffice for occasional or light duty use. [...] A significant amount of hardware was completely missing. The basket should not have passed QC, as it had broken wires prior to powdercoating. Design and construction of the steering linkage, tray brackets, seat post and axles needs improvement: these are high wear and tear areas, and will not work well long-term without some modification / redesign. Fixing the design and construction issues would make it an excellent product, albeit at a higher price point. At this price point, it's OK, but not great.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
What a fun little scooter! I like how I can store my small tools under the seat as I move about in the garden. The 5 gal container holder is very useful for weeding.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Appreciate the update to tractor. I purchased the older tractor and used it in the garden all the time. The handle now makes it easier to move. Storage tray drainage holes saves your tools if you happen to leave the tractor outside in the rain, it does not fill up with rain water. I gave my first tractor to my older aunt because it was getting harder for her to garden. This has made it much easier for her. Thank you for the up grades it has made my gardening easier.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
Makes it simply easy to get down planting little ones or weeding. I was, however, disappointed in steering this tractor as it is rather difficult steering it while sitting and doing the "duck waddle".
I did have it tip over on top of myself when I leaned over too far but that was my fault -- learning curve.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I took the tractor scoot to my Dad's house to have him help me put it together and he was so impressed with it that he said he may buy one for himself. My Dad is in his eighties and still loves working outside, but his back can no longer handle a lot of bending; I didn't tell him that I actually ordered 2, one for myself and one for his upcoming birthday.
The handle is the only thing that I am not thrilled over, it needs to lock in various positions, seems very awkward and hard to steer. Also, the piece of rubber that is at the bottom of the handle, fell off when I took it out of the box. Other than that, I love it.

This tractor scoot works well and is super cute!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This is an improvement over earlier models. The turning front wheels and pull handle are very convenient,and the rear basket fits that five gallon bucket that you've been saving. The idea is great but the quality could be improved upon. The bolts holding the seat down are not flush, and the spindle holding it was showing rust right out of the box. Some better manufacturing and lubrication would fix this. Otherwise - I'm satisfied.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The scoot is a quality built product made to last many years. I had fallen and injured my back 9 months ago and have had problems bending, stooping, standing, and twisting. My garden became neglected. With the scoot, I have been able to easily raise and lower the adjustable scoot seat to tend to my garden and am able to just "scoot" down the entire row without having to bend, stand or squat. The attached bucket carrier is also so convenient to put small garden tools or a bucket full of pulled out weeds. I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I love this product - I don't mind weeding now. I am recommending my tractor scoot to my neighbors and co-workers. I love how I don't have to bend or kneel to weed and I can just push myself along the flower bed. It really makes my gardening much easier. I am so glad that I bought this. (My sister-in-law purchased one - that's where I saw it and got the idea to get my own) I would buy it again!!
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The Tractor Scoot is a big help in my weedy garden. It is a good height for me and the ability to swivel 360 degrees is a real time saver. The only downside is that it can be difficult to manage on sloped ground or in small spaces - in rock gardens, for example. In these situations it can be heavy and unwieldy.
The assembly directions were fairly easy to follow although I recommend sorting the bolts ahead of time.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
This product allows me to sit comfortably while painting the deck posts and rungs as well as being useful for yard and garden chores.
Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The swivel seat is the best. It's nice to have a seat that doesn't crack or come loose. I can "duck walk" but now I don't have to! It's nice to be able to hitch little rolling things behind me and transport plants, chemicals, tools, and trash all in the same trip. And, I finally get to have a rolling toy!

A disabled gardener, I needed something to sit on. This unit is heavy, hard to steer the handle sticks and it so large the wheels crush the plants around it. It is NOT good for tight areas. Since I don't have a garage, it stays outside. The paint has quickly faded and all joints are rusting. It was not easy to assemble by myself. I would not buy it again.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
An all-around fabulous design, but the seat is just too high for my comfort. I would suggest you check out the height factor before buying. I'm 5'6" and the little plastic scooter I wore out was 12" and was perfect for me. I didn't realize how much difference the 3 or 4 inch increase would make. It is just enough to make my back hurt. Of course it depends on what you plan to use it for, also. I use it for weeding, where I am reaching all the way to the ground. I love everything else about this scooter, unfortunately, the one problem I have makes it almost unusable.

The 'Deluxe Tractor Scoot' with the telescoping handle and 'Bucket Basket' is a must have!

Great assembly instructions. I love the Green Streak, the weeds hate it. It makes gardening fun again for a midseventies child.

The only problem is the failure of the news media to tell the world how great the Scoot is.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
The handle is poorily designed and not very sturdy. [...].My yard is on a small incline and it kept trying to roll away with and without me on it.Also, accidentily received small brief shower on scooter and the large adjustable seat bolt is already rusty. Very disappointing.

Comments about Deluxe Tractor Scoot with Bucket Basket:
I am a large lady and loved to work in my flower gardens. Due to arthritis I am no longer able to kneel down or stand in place for long to bend and weed or plant, this scooter is very sturdy and allows me to sit while weeding and planting. I can scoot along on the heavy duty tires and pull myself to the fence or cane and stand when finished.
