Genuine first · Kubota Z482
747 mm wide. Kubota diesel. No compromise.
What makes the R06 a genuine first: fitting this engine into a machine with a 747 mm transport width and a 747 kg operating weight. In the micro class under one tonne, unbranded single-cylinder engines with no parts network usually dominate. With the Z482, you benefit from the Kubota parts network across Switzerland — engine parts, filters and service are available at every Kubota service point.
Why the R06 is different
This small — and still a Kubota
Other manufacturers
Micro and mini excavators under 1 t often run on unbranded single-cylinder engines. Parts? Weeks of waiting. Resale? Difficult.
Renting instead of buying
For a two-week garden project once a year, renting pays off. For recurring work, the cost quickly adds up to more than owning an R06.
R06 ECO
Kubota Z482, 8.2 kW (11.2 hp), 1.0 m dig depth, 747 mm transport width — boom with side-swing up to 70°. A brand-name engine in a micro footprint: nobody else offers quite this.
Side-swing up to 70°
Digging along a wall — without constant repositioning
The swinging boom is the decisive advantage over rigid micro excavators: excavate along foundations, fences and house walls, into corners and in the tightest courtyards — without realigning the machine every two minutes.
Maximum power in a minimal footprint
Through garden gates, onto the trailer, into the courtyard
At just 747 kg operating weight and 747 mm transport width, the R06 fits through narrow access ways, garden gates and tight passages. Rubber tracks protect lawns and paving — ideal for landscaping, utility trenches and private renovation projects.
- A genuine first: the real Kubota Z482 (2-cylinder, water-cooled) in just 747 mm transport width — a brand-name diesel Rippa fits for the first time in such a small footprint
- 8.2 kW at 0.8–1.2 l/h fuel consumption — quiet, low-vibration and suited to daily use in residential areas
- Boom with side-swing and up to 70° offset — dig along walls, corners and pipework without constantly repositioning the machine
- Only 747 kg, rubber tracks, LED lighting and an adjustable seat with belt — fits through gates, sits on a trailer, gets into the inner courtyard
