Rippa R13 Mini Excavator – More Power, Same Compact Advantage

The Rippa R13 is the next step up in compact excavation—delivering increased power, reach, and stability while maintaining the tight-access versatility that operators love. Designed for contractors and serious property owners, the R13 bridges the gap between ultra-compact machines and full-size performance.

Powered by a dependable Kubota diesel engine, the R13 offers smooth operation, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability. Its expandable undercarriage and narrow-width design allow it to access tight job sites like backyards, side yards, and indoor spaces—then widen for added stability when it’s time to work.

With an operating weight around 2,900 lbs and a digging depth of up to 6+ feet, the R13 delivers noticeably more capability than smaller machines while still being easy to transport and maneuver.

Key Features:

• Kubota D722 diesel engine for reliable, fuel-efficient performance
• Zero tail swing design for safe operation in tight areas
• Expandable tracks for narrow access and increased stability
• Upgraded hydraulic system for stronger digging and smoother control
• Swing boom, hydraulic thumb & quick coupler for maximum versatility
• Pilot joystick controls for precision and reduced operator fatigue

Ideal Applications:

• Residential and commercial landscaping
• Trenching, drainage, and utility installation
• Foundation work and small-scale construction
• Farm and property maintenance
• Tight-access or indoor excavation jobs

The Rippa R13 is built for operators who need more power than a 1-ton machine—but still demand the ability to work where larger equipment simply can’t go. It’s a true contractor-grade compact excavator that delivers professional performance in a highly maneuverable package.
