Great beginner bicycle and heavy duty!
I read the reviews and some people received damaged bicycles, but I bet that is due to shipping. This one showed up today and took me a total of 25 minutes from the time I started opening the box until it was ready to ride. No dings, dents, or scratches, it came in perfect shape. This bicycle is not made by John Deere, just a licensed product. It is made by Ertl, makers of great metal toy tractors and farm implements. The grandson loves his new John Deere!

not at the quality i expected
we purchased this as a gift for our grandsons 3rd birthday, luckily we had it delivered to us so my husband could assemble it before we gave it to him. the bike was packaged in such a way that it did not protect it from being scratched during shipment. during assembly we found the bike would need numerous adjustments; the front fork would need much adjustment to allow it to turn. the peddle/gear crank needed to be loosened to allow it to spin, the rear axle spindle nuts where over tightened, not allowing the tire to spin. all these assemblies also had insufficent lubrication/grease in them which added to there extremly stiff operation. after disassembly of these assemblies components and properly lubricating and adjusting them, my husband was able to get the bike to where it could be ridden. not what we expected for something with the John Deere name on it.

Like other's had said
Like other's had said, right out of the box I had to do paint touch up which meant I had to order some john deere paint. He has had the bike for about 2 years and the ball bearings for the peddles have completely fallen apart. I ordered new ball bearings and replaced them, just to have them immediately tear up. The frame on the bike is solid as can be, but the ball bearings and the paint job are cheap. I guess for $115 it has lasted about 2 years, which is why I give it 3 stars.

J.D. (HD) 12-Inch Bicycle
This bike came very well wrapped & boxed, with easy assemblage instructions for the few unattached components. I spent almost as much time removing the taped wrapping foam, plus cardboard protective inserts and coverings, as putting the parts together, which were all well done to protect the finish. It's weight and design are perfect for my 3 yr. old boy. I think the weight adds to it's stability and the strengthening of his legs. The soft leather like seat, rubber grips and tires, surely make for a comfortable change as he progresses from the hard plastic variants on his tricycle. A fully enclosed chain guard, along with wide training wheels, is a must for first bike, which this unit's designer(s) got right. The best part is the flatter center bar (from the seat to the handle bar neck column) for when his short legs and feet need to find those riding surfaces quickly, while stopping. A surprisingly nice and decently priced bike.

John Deere Heavy Duty 12" Bike
We bought this bike for our son's 4th birthday and he was so excited for his "Tractor Bike." It is a little heavy, sturdy, and my husband said it was little tough putting it together. Mainly for the front prongs being close together he couldn't fit the tire on. Our son is new to pedaling and he gets frustrated with it (granted, it has literally only been one day as of writing this). I'm sure the more he rides it will become easier. I'm impressed, I think this is an adorable bike! We didn't have any issues the other reviews had, but the box did arrive completely open.Update: It has been a little over a year and the bike has held up great!

Good buy!
This was a "damaged package" sale. The price was reduced to 82.94. There were a few scratches that were not serious to me but it claimed only the box was damaged. It was a good deal. You can see the scratches in the pics. All parts were there along with instructions. Went together very easily. Sturdy bike.

Missing parts and scratched.
I bought this early for a Christmas present for my grandson. The return time is no longer available which is upsetting especially when there are missing parts. I could live with the scratches but we can not put together the bike without all the parts. Too expensive an item to not have all the parts!! Very, very disappointed! The description said it was in very good condition which you can see from the pictures it is not in very good condition. Plus, you can see the missing parts.

Kid’s Dream Bike/Parent’s view__Poor Paint Quality
The bike is awesome and is everything we thought it would be to our child however, being that it costs so much money the paint should not chip so easily. When assembling the handlebars the piece that holds them in position has to be loosened so you can adjust the handlebars and it completely chipped away a bunch of paint on the handlebars.
