RIPPA R13 Mini Excavator — $13,580

The RIPPA R13 PRO is the most popular machine we sell, and for good reason: it runs a genuine Kubota D722 three-cylinder water-cooled diesel — the same engine family used in name-brand compact equipment — in a 1,300 kg chassis that still fits through a 36-inch gate. You get commercial-grade power and parts availability at a fraction of the price of an equivalent Kubota or Bobcat.

Four-way auxiliary hydraulics with quick connectors come standard, so a thumb, breaker, auger, or grapple plugs straight in without a dealer install. Zero tail swing keeps the counterweight inside the tracks for foundation and fence-line work, and the machine is CE, EPA, and Euro 5 certified.

Starting at $13,580, shipped from our Waterview, Virginia warehouse. Call (804) 499-2129 for the best price on your configuration.

What the R13 is best for

  • Landscaping and hardscape crews
  • Utility trenching and drainage work
  • Septic, footing, and pool prep
  • Owner-operators who need a diesel that fits a standard trailer
  • Anyone who wants Kubota engine parts availability

Where it falls short

  • For sustained truck loading or deep footings, the R18 PRO or R22 PRO gives you meaningfully more reach and breakout force.
