Best Bruder construction toys: 10 trucks, excavators, forklifts &amp; more

You need a roller, and this compactor is nice and small compared to many of the other cars, so it won't get in the way at home.

There are also larger models available, but in the end it is just a lot of fun, nice and flexible because it has a tandem vibratory roller model.

This means that the front is hinged with the back so your child can easily steer and roll flat everything.

At first I thought, why buy a roller when there are excavators? But in the end this is one of the toys my son plays with the most.

Especially at the table he likes to take the roller with him and to stamp some clay nice and flat!

There can be one Bruder doll, but that is not necessarily necessary, it just looks a bit nicer. The nice thing is that the doll's arms can bend exactly so that the hands can be on the steering wheel and the control stick on the side of the driver's seat.

It does Bruder then it's good again.

Best Excavator: Bruder 02445/02446 Cat Small Wheel Excavator

Bruder 02446 Cat Small Wheel Excavator Excavator

of excavators Bruder there are plenty of them, and I also have a number of others on this list because of course they should not be missing a good toy building site.

There are some smaller ones available, or samples of excavators, but I still like this Cat excavator with wheels the best.

I find these a bit more practical than those of approximately the same version (also a CAT) with caterpillar tracks, especially because we also regularly use the excavator indoors (also check this out nice building material as an alternative to sand).

Wheels are then a lot more fun to drive than tracks, which may be more suitable for outside in the mud or in the grass.

But I thought the CAT with wheels was fine in the sandbox and could drive in the grass of the backyard. A perfect playmate for indoors and outdoors!

Best with tracks: Bruder 02137 CAT Delta Loader

(view more images of the differences)

Yet I wanted to add also a construction machine with caterpillar tracks. I myself choose the more handy CAT Delta Loader.

A great fun digger with a front loader and a lever arm to scoop up all sorts of fun things, such as sand, but also building blocks and the like fit in it of course.

With the caterpillar tracks it rides a bit stiffer than, for example, the Bruder Skid Steer Loader of a slightly smaller size (I have reviewed them side by side here) which does have wheels:

Bruder Delta Loader vs Skid Steer Loader

But if you already have some construction equipment with wheels, this is definitely a nice change and the tracks make it a bit more fun to play with outside too.

Best truck with crane: Bruder MB Arocs

A great truck with a lot of possibilities, and not at all that much more expensive than a standard dump truck.

The Bruder MB (stands for Mercedes Benz) In addition to a tipping container, Arocs also has a crane with accessories!

You can use the crane with its included grab and pick up everything from sand to PVC pipes as I had done and also smaller other cars of course.

But you can also put the forks on it and so with the pallets that come with it, you can deftly get stones and other things that you want to load on the pallets into the truck.

The doors of these Arocs can be opened, so dolls can easily get in (that's sometimes a thing with a lot of Bruder cars, which get dolls in them), and it has two feet that you can put on the ground for extra strength to grab heavy things.

Almost real!

Best combi set: Bruder Liebherr Power Shovel 2751 and Man TGA Tipper

Bruder MAN dump truck with Liebherr excavator combination package

Check the prices and availability here

If you are looking for a nice combination of cars that you can buy cheaply that way, then the Liebherr excavator and Man TGA dump truck together are a great set.

Dig with one while the other is ready with the bucket to catch the sand or whatever you want to shovel. It doesn't get any better than that, of course.

I have to say that I think the CAT Excavator with wheels is a slightly better excavator for two reasons:

the digging arm has a wider surface that allows you to scoop up a wider variety of toys
more importantly, the arm can move up and down more flexibly. Where the arm of the Liebherr can be fixed in 6 intermediate positions, that of the Bruder can be fixed on the chassis but is further flexible.

Incidentally, I can imagine that point two can work better in some situations, at least for stop motion videos like i make :)

But this was too nice a set not to put on the list and together it is a very affordable entry into the world of Bruder construction vehicles.

For example, the engine block can also be removed from the front of the truck, which is also a nice addition:

Remove the engine block from the Bruder MAN dump truck

Such a nice set and able to do a lot with.

Nicest little excavator: Bruder Schaeff Mini Excavator HR 16

It doesn't have to be all that big, and this Schaeff mini excavator proves that.

A very handy design where the digging arm has a mechanism on one side to allow it to move smoothly back and forth.

Furthermore, it has caterpillar tracks, a slider at the front that can be raised and lowered and, despite its small size, it is also just 1:16, so the Bruder figures all fit in to control it.

A very nice addition to others Bruder cars you may already have.

Best extension for the construction site: Bruder JCB 8010 Cts Micro Excavator with doll

Everyone who already has something Bruder toys knows how difficult it can be to get some dolls. And those individual people can also be quite expensive.

Not many sets have a figure included, but a very affordable set is this JCB Micro Excavator where you immediately have a nice little excavator that they can put on and move small things with, like another Bruder figure to mix and match with all the machines you have.

A very nice addition to others Bruder cars you may already have, or a very cheap first entry into excavators.

Best Small Front Loader: Bruder Schaeffer Compact Loader 2630

Nicest little front loader: Bruder Schaeffer Compact Loader 2630

If you are looking for a car that is easy to drive with two hands for your toddler, for example, then this Schaeffer front loader is a very good option.

Not too big, a lot smaller than a lot of other front loader, but its kind of tandem design makes it easy to use the front to steer without having to bother your little one with a handlebar and wheels.

You can lock the front loader in different positions so that you can have it up, for example, with quite heavy things in it such as stones.

A very nice car to play with.

Best Forklift: Bruder 02511 Linde H30D Forklift

Lifting pallets up and down is just fun, and this Linde forklift makes it surprisingly smooth.

You can move the forks upwards smoothly and they kind of slide upwards.
You can click them down gradually so that you can lock them in any position

Furthermore, the fork can also move forward so that it is completely flat on the road and you can easily pick up the 2 supplied pallets. Just like the real machine!

Best cement truck: Bruder 02744 MAN Cement Mixer

This Bruder Man Cementwagen has a lot of fun things to play with!

The most important thing is of course the cement mixer, a large barrel on the back of this blue car that you can turn around by turning the turntable, or with slightly smaller children just turn the barrel itself.

You can of course put in liquid to make it really look like cement, some thick soap is a good idea if you want to do that outside for example.

But I can imagine that not every parent thinks that is a good idea because cleaning is a hassle every time.

Fortunately, it can hold a lot more, from small dried corn to some plugs or whatever you have at home of a little size.

Bruder 02744 MAN Cement Mixer building road

The only downside may be that you don't always have a view of what your child is putting in and you have to clean it, but it really is a really nice addition to any pretend play construction site!

Best Trailer: Bruder 02776 Man TGA Low Loader Truck with JCB 4CX Backhoe Loader

The excavators also need a way to get to the construction site, of course, so a good trailer is certainly a nice addition and to use with many of the smaller vehicles.

Fortunately, there is also an excavator with a front loader and a rear digging area to make playing a lot more fun.

Best conveyor belt: Bruder 02031 Conveyor

One of the nicest accessories at every truck (see more here) and Dump Truck: A conveyor belt to move all kinds of building materials and stones over it, straight into the truck!

Best Bruder farm and countryside toys

Bruder has a lot of fun toys and we've also written about the best construction vehicles from Bruder, but in this article I would like to focus on their second major line: machines for the farm.

Just as much or perhaps more of their range is focused on everything in and around the farm, with the biggest names in the industry recreated.

They are lifelike vehicles, on a scale of 1:16 so decent vehicles, and together with the dolls that can bend in all kinds of different ways to sit in or work with the devices, your child will not be happy.

The nicest set I would recommend is this Bruder Claas Nectis with trailer. It has a slightly smaller size than many of the other tractors, which makes it a bit more manageable plus you have a bit more for your money because there is also a great trailer with tipping box.

Of course there are many more options and in this article I want to go through them with you, let's take a look at them all:

Best Bruder farm toys rated

Best tractor: Bruder 02112 Claas Nectis 267 F

If you're looking for something to start with then I would definitely recommend this Claas Nectis.

If you think Bruder farm toys, then you probably first think of tractors, and tractors are fun children's toys anyway (this one Bruder Nectis is also one of the nicest toy tractors I wrote about here before).

But even if you already know your first Bruder farm toy has to be a tractor, there are still so many choices!

What a lot of brands and models they have developed in the meantime, and all have been designed completely true to nature.

I like this tractor the most, because it is slightly smaller than most but still has a lot to play with.

He has his own trailer with all sides and the back flat. This way he can scoop up and dump everything with his front loader, which is also included.

Pro tip: Of course, dried corn kernels are great fun to use!

In addition, the trailer can tilt so that everything can easily slide out again when it is at its destination.

The wheels can really turn, as with many of the tractors of this brand, and there is a small steering wheel in the cabin with which you can steer them, but also a supplied steering wheel that you can put through the roof (which can slide open) so that you can control it a bit more easily.

But of course you can also just turn the wheels themselves to steer it.

My son is 2,5 at the time of writing this and he really doesn't use that steering wheel yet, but thinks it's a great car.

Bruder Claas Nectis vs Massey Ferguson

Bruder Claas Nectis with sand vs Massey Ferguson with a tree

The best comparison is with this Massey Ferguson with frontloader.

It comes closest in size and is also one of the smaller Bruder wagons.

Yet it is also a lot bigger, and the frontloader is also a bit more difficult to manage with a double bending system and cover that you have to open separately.

In itself a very nice tractor, and nice to use with some tree accessories (as in the photo), but a bit less versatile than the Nectis.

Best farm accessory: Bruder Pasture Fence 62604

View all information here

What farm could be complete without a fence to keep the animals back?

With this Bruder fencing set you immediately get a number of fence pieces to give your farm some more background, and super fun if you have some cows or horses to put in it.

It is a square fence that you can make with the 12 fence pieces, but because you easily click everything together on small bases, you can also shape it any way you want, such as a fence on the side of your toys farm.

There is also a trough for on the ground and a feeder for the fence, and even a placard for the fence where your child can put his name or the name of the play farm on it with marker.

Best all-terrain vehicle for the yard: Bruder 09812 John Deere Gator XUV 855D

Best all terrain vehicle Bruder 09812 John Deere Gator XUV 855D

Of course the Bruders have to have a way to get around the yard a little more easily, especially if they have a big one farm with animals have.

The John Deere Gator makes it easy for them to get from one place to another, and the nice thing is that it also has a small dump box on the back.

Bruder 09812 John Deere Gator XUV 855D in front of trucks

That way you can also put something in it and dump it out at the destination. This makes this utility vehicle just a bit more fun than some of the others you could choose.

Best tractor accessory: Bruder 03340 Forestry Blade with cable Winch

Nice to hook trees (or all kinds of other things) and pull them inside.

Best conveyor belt: Bruder Grimme SE 75 potato harvester

If you are looking for a conveyor belt for the farming business, this potato harvester is one of the best to buy.

The potatoes can be poured into the container from the start and then pass over three separate conveyor belts to be poured into a container at the end (completely clean).

He can go after any Bruder can be hung on the tractor for driving, or the stand at the front can be lowered to allow it to stand on its own.

There are no potatoes, but you can buy them separately, plus you can put everything on them with about the same size.

We also put some dried corn in it at home, which went reasonably well, but because some corn is also a bit smaller, some corn eventually got between the tires.

You can get that out again, but that was a bit of fiddling.

Dried beans would suit me a bit better, for example.

Best seed drill: Bruder 02347 Pöttinger Vitasem 302ADD

Very nice seeder from Bruder with a lot of detail.

The top hopper opens to put the seeds in for sowing while driving.

Best Hay Bales: Bruder John Deere Baler

Nice with extra large hay bales and you get two more.

You can let him drive behind the tractor to pick up all the hay from the field, the baler then makes big bales for the farm.

The nice thing is that the bales are guided through the baler by themselves when you drive the cart. He doesn't really make bales of dry hay, of course, but it looks a lot like it.

For example, in my video I took some dried grass from the garden after mowing and that's super fun to play with!

It's a bit different than, for example, a tractor or something, and not that much fun completely on its own, but with a tractor from Bruder what you hang it behind is a fun fantasy game.

Best cheap excavator alternative: Bruder Rear Hydraulic Arm with Grapple

As je al een Bruder have a tractor and you want don't spend a lot of money on a separate excavator too, then this hydraulic arm is a very nice addition to your current vehicle.

You can click it on the back of your tractor and dig with the bucket or even pick up some things with the grab.

Best mower: Bruder 02132 John Deere Combine T-670i

You can mow at the front, and at the same time extend the arm on the side and sow the seeds across the land.

Best sprayer: Bruder Amazone Ux 5200 Trailed Field Sprayer

When everything is finally sown you cannot rest yet. The land also has to be watered, and of course you don't do that by hand.

That is why there is the Amazon sprinkler trailer that you can easily hang behind any tractor. Perfect for outdoor play for lifelike play (and give your grass some!).

Best forest management: Bruder 62650 Bworld wood splitter

If you want to do forest management, it is not enough to just get rid of trees.

You also need to split them, and maybe use the pieces back on the farm for a fire.

Best truck with crane for trees: Bruder 02769 MAN Timber Truck

Check out the latest prices here

If you want to effectively clear the trees on your land, the MAN Timber Truck has to come in handy.

Best jobs on the farm: Bruder 04041 Fendt 1050 Vario Tractor repair kit

Even the sturdy tractors from Fendt sometimes break, and then it is useful to have the right tools at hand.

There is no other Bruder tractor where the wheels come off unless you demolish it, so this is a very nice set to add to your farm.

Best Horse Transport: Bruder Dodge Ram 2500 with horse trailer

Check the price for the set here

In any case, the Dodge Ram is a good pickup to get to and from the farm easily.

With its large wheels and high location, it gets through all the mud and dirt roads.

The tailgate at the back can also be opened and there is quite a bit of space to transport everything, such as hay for the horse!

Because although you can also buy the pickup truck separately, it is a very nice set together with the horse trailer (here's a few more) and horse so that the farm also has a stallion.

Best horse stable: Bruder Bworld 62506 horse stable

A fully equipped stable with horse and rider for wonderful fantasy play.

It is a construction set so it fits in a small box, but it really can be set up in a few minutes:

The rider can actually sit on the horse and really put her feet in the stirrups and hold the reins, so that's a nice touch.

There are also a lot of accessories such as a whip and also things to take care of the horse in the stable.

There is also a shovel and a pitchfork, everything to take care of the horse or to clean up behind the horse :)

Even the horse's leg warmers and saddle can be taken off and stored in the stable, as with all Bruder toys so plenty of detail:

Bruder Bworld 62506 horse stable leg warmers and saddle can be detached

A fun complete set to add to a farm or use as a standalone horse toy.

Best tractor in winter: Bruder Claas Axion 950 with Snow chains & Snow Blower 03017

A great one Bruder set where a lot happens.

In addition to a nice tractor, which you can also get loose, you have nice accessories. This way you get snow chains that you can remove from the wheels as a kind of net.

Furthermore, this is one of the tractor models where you can adjust the rear fork so that you can put it higher and lower to hang different agricultural machines behind it.

And then of course the best of the set, the snow blower to put in front of it.

Bruder Claas Axion 950 with Snow chains & Snow Blower 03017 compilation

A very nice set to recreate winter with you Bruder agricultural vehicles!
