Rippa R15 Mini Excavator
Our #1 selling excavator. The Rippa R15 delivers about 50 percent more operating weight and significantly improved stability and hydraulic control over smaller entry-level machines. Powered by a Kubota D722 water-cooled diesel engine, it runs quieter than gas and handles high heat without complaint.
The R15 runs full pilot controls across drive, swing, boom, and thumb, with auxiliary controls on joystick buttons for intuitive attachment operation. Operator comfort features include cab-mounted lighting alongside the boom light, a rubber floor mat, ISO/SAE switchable control modes, and an optional enclosed cab with ROPS/FOPS certification and thermal insulation.
A popular upgrade for contractors who started with a 1-ton machine and residential customers doing long-term property maintenance. Whether you're trenching, grading, landscaping, or on small construction projects, the R15 is the machine we recommend for new buyers.
