RIPPA R10 ECO
RIPPA R10 ECO overview
The R10 ECO is RIPPA's ultra-compact starter machine for backyard projects, fence installation and light digging. Hydraulically retractable tracks narrow to 2' 11" (35") for gates and widen to 3' 11" (47") for stability, and the boom swings 74° left / 47° right for working against walls. A reinforced dozer blade with quick-fold pin, four-way auxiliary lines and a standard hydraulic thumb make it work-ready out of the crate.
Best for: backyard projects, fence installation, garden beds and drainage, light trenching, rental fleets.

R10 ECO FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most about this machine. Still unsure? Call 289-271-6947.
- Will the R10 ECO fit through my gate?
- Minimum transport width is 3' (36"). It passes a standard 36-inch gate with the tracks retracted.
- Open canopy or enclosed cab?
- The canopy version is lighter, cheaper and easier to trailer. The enclosed cab adds glass, a door, heater/wiper and keeps you working in rain and Ontario winters. Both share the same engine, hydraulics and attachments.
- Can I tow it behind my pickup?
- Operating weight is 1,142 kg (2,518 lb) plus trailer and attachments. Check your truck's rated towing capacity and use an equipment trailer with brakes. We also deliver anywhere in Ontario.
- What comes standard?
- Digging bucket, dozer blade, auxiliary hydraulic lines and quick coupler. Thumbs, extra buckets, augers, rakes and breakers are optional and listed under Attachments with sizes that fit.
- What warranty and support do I get?
- Two-year warranty backed by our service department, genuine RIPPA and Kubota parts, dealer pre-delivery inspection, and optional extended coverage in the builder.
