R15 ECO FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most about this machine. Still unsure? Call 289-271-6947.
- Will the R15 ECO fit through my gate?
- Minimum transport width is 3' 3" (39"). It passes most double gates; retract the tracks for a standard 36-inch gate (2' 11" (35") track gauge).
- 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 1,532 kg (3,377 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.
