Why Kubota matters in a mini excavator
Kubota has been building diesel engines for over 130 years — today the Japanese manufacturer’s engines are the most widely used drivetrain in the mini excavator class worldwide. Every Rippa model runs on a genuine Kubota engine: proven, easy to service, and backed by parts availability across Switzerland.
Anyone searching for a Kubota mini excavator in Switzerland wants one thing above all: a heart that keeps running — and parts that arrive fast. That is exactly why professional manufacturers worldwide rely on Kubota. With us, you get this drivetrain in Rippa compact excavators from 747 kg to 3.2 tonnes, in stock in Switzerland now and at a fixed price in CHF.
Four good reasons
Kubota quality — what it means for you as a buyer
The engine determines running costs, downtime and the resale value of your machine.
Proven brand quality
Kubota engines run in excavators, tractors and generators worldwide. Water-cooled three-cylinder diesels, built for continuous duty — not just the first test drive.
Parts available nationwide
Filters, seals and engine parts are available at every Kubota service point in Switzerland. No unbranded engine with months-long waits from the Far East.
The compact-class standard
Bobcat, Takeuchi and many professional manufacturers rely on Kubota. You get the same drivetrain found in significantly more expensive machines — at a fair fixed price.
Stronger resale value
A documented Kubota engine with service history sells more easily than an unknown import diesel. A real advantage for trade businesses and private buyers alike.
Kubota instead of unbranded
Kubota mini excavators Switzerland: brand-name engine, fair price
Many cheap imported excavators run on unknown diesel engines. A Kubota excavator — or an excavator with a Kubota drivetrain, as with Rippa — means the opposite: an engine that Swiss workshops know, backed by an established parts network.
- Water-cooled diesel engines — stable in summer heat and continuous use
- Low fuel consumption through optimised compression and injection
- Clearly documented service intervals — oil, filters and valve clearance on a fixed schedule
- Nationwide service network for engine parts, independent of the excavator manufacturer

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Kubota mini excavators in Switzerland
Where can I buy a Kubota mini excavator in Switzerland?
At Rippa Schweiz in Gersau (canton of Schwyz) — an official dealer with stock held in Switzerland. All models from the R06 ECO to the R32 PRO run on a genuine Kubota diesel engine. Viewings, test digs and same-day collection are possible by appointment.
Which Kubota engines are fitted in Rippa mini excavators?
Depending on the model: Kubota Z482 (R06 ECO, R10 ECO Kubota), D722 (R13/R15), D902 (R18), D1105 (R22) or V1505 (R32). The R10 ECO is also available with a Yoop 192F engine as a more affordable entry point (from CHF 6'490). All Kubota engines are water-cooled — the standard in the compact class.
Are Kubota mini excavator parts available in Switzerland?
Yes. Engine parts and filters are available through the nationwide Kubota network; excavator wear parts ship from our own stock or arrive within 48 hours. No months-long wait like with unbranded import engines.
What is the advantage of Kubota over an unbranded engine in a mini excavator?
Kubota is well established in Switzerland: known service intervals, available spare parts, better resale value, and the same engine found in many professional excavators. Unbranded diesels save money upfront but often cost more later in breakdowns and parts sourcing.
Does a Kubota mini excavator cost more than an imported one?
Entry pricing at Rippa starts from CHF 6'490 (R10 ECO Yoop) or CHF 6'990 (R06 ECO Kubota) and CHF 7'990 (R10 ECO Kubota Z482) — including CH delivery, in stock now. Same machine — choose the engine to match your budget and workload.
Is Kubota the same as a "Kubota excavator" from an official Kubota dealer?
Rippa fits genuine Kubota diesel engines into its own compact excavators. You get the proven Kubota drivetrain and parts network — in a machine available from stock in Switzerland. Not a Kubota-branded KX-series excavator, but a Rippa with a Kubota heart.
