The Rippa Range Explained: Excavators, Loaders, Dumpers and 160 Attachments
Nine excavators, six skid steers, a dumper, a slope mower and an attachment for every model. How the range is organised and where each machine fits.
The Rippa range is simple once you see the pattern: R-series excavators numbered by weight, RS-series loaders numbered by size, and attachments built for each model group.
R-series mini excavators
| Model | Class | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| R06 | 0.7 t | Doorways, courtyards, renovators |
| R10 | 1 t | Tight side access, landscapers |
| R13 PRO | 1.2 t | 750 mm access, vineyards, infill lots |
| R15 | 1.5 t | The suburban all-rounder |
| R18 PRO | 1.8 t | Footings, pools, harder ground |
| R22 PRO | 2 t | Acreage, farms, rock with a breaker |
| R32 PRO | 3.2 t | Cab, zero tail swing, contractors |
| R57 PRO | 5.7 t | Dams, site cuts, civil |
| R82 PRO | 8.2 t | Commercial earthmoving |
All but the R82 run Kubota diesels; the R82 offers Yanmar or Changchai. The 1 to 3 tonne models ship with a hydraulic quick hitch; the R10, R13 PRO, R15 and R18 PRO have adjustable undercarriages for access.
RS-series skid steers
| Model | Type | Rated load |
|---|---|---|
| RS03 | Walk-behind, petrol | 140 kg |
| RS04 | Stand-on, Kubota diesel | 175 kg |
| RS06 | Compact, Kubota D1105 | 600 kg |
| RS07 | Compact ride-on, Kubota D1105 | ask |
| RS10 | Full-size, Kubota V2607 | ask |
| RS20 | Full-size, Kubota V2607 | 1,050 kg |
Dumpers and mowers
The RD06 tracked dumper carries 500 kg through a 787 mm gap and pairs with a small excavator on tight sites. The SH-550Y remote-controlled slope mower cuts batters and firebreaks nobody should walk on.
Attachments
Attachments are built per model group, because pins, plates and hydraulic flow differ:
- Excavators: R06; R10/R13/R15 (shared); R18; R22; R32. Buckets, tilt buckets, augers, breakers, rippers, rakes, grabs, thumbs, grapples, quick hitches, mowers.
- Skid steers: RS03/RS04; RS06/RS07; RS10/RS20. 4-in-1 buckets, forks, brush cutters, trenchers, sweepers, augers, breakers, stump grinders, chippers, splitters, tillers, blades.
Choosing
Weight decides digging power and towing; width decides access; hydraulic flow decides which attachments work. The comparison table shows every machine side by side, the machine finder narrows it to your work, and the attachment finder lists what fits each model.
