Engineered performance

More power than an entry-level model — without compromising on compactness

According to Rippa, the R13 PRO is a step up from the entry-level excavator: longer working stints, more stability and greater efficiency for digging, grading and light demolition — ideal if you want faster results without moving up to the 2-tonne class.

  • Narrow profile from 750 mm retracted track width — passes through standard doorways, lifts and basement access points
  • Genuine Kubota D722 — water-cooled, Stage V compliant, quiet, parts available across Switzerland
  • No hearing protection required — ideal in built-up areas and near sensitive neighbours
  • Zero-tail rear end — work right up against a wall with no rear overhang
  • Hydraulic thumb, quick coupler and pilot joystick standard
  • 2.04 m digging depth, 3.46 m dig radius — genuine 1.3-tonne performance in a minimal footprint
Rippa partners: Kubota, Yanmar, Briggs & Stratton, Bosch, Cummins, Perkins, Isuzu, Hyundai, Eaton and others

Rippa relies on proven engine and component partners — in Switzerland, mainly Kubota diesel engines across all core models.

Engine & quality

Why Kubota in a mini excavator?

For more than 130 years, Kubota has been building diesel engines — today the Japanese manufacturer is the most widely used engine in the mini excavator class worldwide. Every Rippa model runs a genuine Kubota engine: proven, easy to service, with spare parts available across Switzerland.

Proven brand quality

Kubota engines power excavators, tractors and generators worldwide. Water-cooled two- or three-cylinder diesels, built for continuous use — not just for the test dig.

Spare parts across Switzerland

Filters, seals and engine parts are available at every Kubota service point in Switzerland. No unknown engine with months of waiting from Asia.

The compact-class benchmark

Bobcat, Takeuchi and many professional manufacturers rely on Kubota. You get the same engine as in significantly more expensive machines — at a fair fixed price.

Resale value

A documented Kubota engine with service history resells more easily than an unknown Chinese diesel. A real advantage for tradespeople and private owners alike.
