Is the grapple functional?

Sorry, it was a gift so I don't know the answer.

Is this good for heavy duty playing by a 4 yr old?

Yes, bought it for one 5 yr old. Would has a 3 yr old bother held up to their country boy ways.

How Big is 1:50 scale? Compared to a size of what

1/50 scale, one inch on model equals 50 inches on actual vehicle. I think this model was 5-6 inches long, came from a real John Deere dealer in Missouri. Great model and vendor.
