Massimo's $2,700 retro mini truck holds two adults but caps total weight at 300 pounds

Tractor Supply's holiday lineup features a 125cc miniature pickup that mimics classic styling while offering strictly entry-level utility. With a combined 300-pound weight limit for both seats, buyers get a backyard leisure toy rather than a working farm vehicle.

Slapping a vintage truck grille onto a tiny frame does not magically turn a recreational go-kart into a workhorse. Massimo designed this miniature vehicle for Tractor Supply's holiday lineup, targeting buyers aged 16 and up who want retro aesthetics in their backyard. While the bodywork mimics a classic pickup, the mechanical reality underneath remains purely entry-level fun.

According to Tractor Supply, the cream-colored model sells for $2,699.99. The vehicle measures 76 inches long, 40.5 inches wide, and 41.5 inches tall, making it look far more capable on a sales flyer than it actually feels in your hands.

The Mechanical Reality

Power comes from a single-cylinder, four-stroke air-cooled engine with a 125cc displacement rated at a modest 9 horsepower. Massimo paired this gasoline setup with a three-speed semi-automatic transmission featuring a reverse gear, ensuring you do not have to drag the chassis manually when maneuvering out of a tight spot.

The retailer lists a top speed of 28 mph (48 km/h), which sounds lively until you examine the carrying capacity. Tractor Supply specifies that the 300-pound (136 kg) limit applies to the combined load of both seats rather than per passenger, meaning two average adults instantly max out the chassis and leave zero room for actual cargo.

Spending $2,700 makes sense only if you treat this machine strictly as an overpriced, styling-first leisure vehicle for private land. If you need a utility hauler for heavy yard tasks or a proper farm vehicle that can actually carry two fully grown people, this holiday go-kart will disappoint you before you even clear the driveway.
