If they are all your children then I quess you wouldn't have to worry about the lawsuit when something goes wrong. If they're not your kids...............I'd be very carefull doing that type of stuff. Not saying it doesn't look like fun, but remember it's 2011 not the 1970's-80's.

As others have said you could fill your own tires for much cheaper, and only the rear.

I'm certainly not the safety police for others, but I wouldn't do that sort of thing myself. My tractor had only two hours on it when the FEL failed due to a defective hydraulic line that burst.

Well... okay... I might be tempted to let them try it once.... But no, I don't have a pool, so safety first!

LOL! Ah to be young again!

Looks like the one kid by the pool is saying "Cmon willya!? Lets go already! This ride is taking too long!"

Little kids and "heavy" equipment. No thanks! Not the sort of example I'd want to set.

Now, where's my prune juice. And my glasses. And my teeth...

Looks like something I would do, till the wife or mother-in-law comes out screaming. But then agian, I bought my boy a 50cc atv when he was 3, that sent us to marriage counciling!

Looks like something I would do, till the wife or mother-in-law comes out screaming. But then again, I bought my boy a 50cc atv when he was 3, that sent us to marriage counseling!

Our kids were riding motorcycles (50cc Italajet with training wheels) and shooting .22's when they were about five, sure glad no one on here knew about that. Fortunately my wife rode motorcycles and shot handguns/long guns, so no counseling needed.

The real danger comes in when one of the kid's friends tries to mimic what the adult (who knew what he was doing) did - and drops the bucket on a kid underneath.

That picture looked a lot safer than the ones I've seen where someone put a ladder in the FEL and used it to get onto the roof.

The kids are having a blast and are being supervised too.
Even when they grow up they will remember the fun.
What more could anyone ask for?
My grandkids love to ride in the bucket with it up and Grandma gets a little nervous when they jump into the pool but ......ohwell.
