Rippa R10-5 Diesel Mini Excavator

A quiet and fuel efficient 1 ton mini excavator for homeowners and contractors who prefer diesel reliability.

The Rippa R10 Diesel mini excavator offers the same compact footprint and capability as the R10 Gas, but with the proven reliability of a Kubota Z482 water cooled diesel engine. Weighing about 2,200 lbs, the R10 Diesel delivers efficient and dependable performance while remaining compact enough to access tight residential spaces and backyard projects where larger machines cannot fit.

Many operators choose the diesel version because it runs quieter and more fuel efficient than small gasoline engines while also benefiting from a water cooled engine that maintains stable temperatures during long workdays or in hot climates. The R10 Diesel still uses the same entry level hydraulic system as the gas model, so customers looking for smoother and faster hydraulic performance may prefer stepping up to the R15, which includes upgraded hydraulics and additional machine weight.
