RIPPA R32 PRO overview

The R32 PRO is RIPPA's semi-professional 3.5-tonne class mini excavator. A Kubota V1505 diesel drives a variable-displacement piston pump and a load-sensing 9-way multiplex valve, so the machine stays responsive when you dig, swing and travel at the same time. A tailless swing and a boom that offsets 47° right and 74° left let it work against walls and fences, while the tilting dozer blade handles levelling and slope trimming without repositioning. The enclosed cab comes with air conditioning, a fan heater, flip-up windshield and a mechanically suspended seat for full-day comfort.

Best for: pool excavation, driveway repair, drainage ditches, stump removal, tree planting, farm buildings, snow removal, land levelling, fence installation, small foundations.

Why the

R32 PRO Features

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator digging a trench in a backyard

Engineered performance

Kubota V1505 with load-sensing hydraulics

A 17.1 kW Kubota V1505 diesel drives a variable-displacement piston pump (26.2 gal/min) and a load-sensing 9-way multiplex valve. Flow and pressure adjust automatically to the load, so digging, swinging and travelling at the same time stays smooth, with less heat and longer component life.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Tailless swing and offset boom

Work anywhere

Tailless swing and offset boom

The counterweight stays inside the track width, and the boom swings 74° left and 47° right. Dig right up against walls, fences and buildings without repositioning, and without the rear-end collision risk of a conventional tail.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Tilting dozer blade

Design detail

Tilting dozer blade

High-strength steel blade with reinforced ribs that tilts left and right for levelling, side-pushing and slope trimming. Lubrication ports at every pivot make routine maintenance quick.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Explosion-proof boom valve

Safety

Explosion-proof boom valve

If a hydraulic line ruptures, the explosion-proof valve locks the boom cylinder so the machine cannot lose control. A switching valve block secures the auxiliary lines so a failed quick-connect hose at the bucket can be replaced on site.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Full cab, A/C, fan heater, suspended seat

Control & comfort

Full cab: A/C, fan heater, suspended seat

Air conditioning for summer, a fan heater to keep glass clear in winter, a flip-up windshield, a mechanically suspended seat with armrests, dual-button pilot joysticks, a pattern-change valve and a colour display showing key operating parameters.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Cylinder guards, dual-speed travel and rubber tracks

Built to last

Cylinder guards, dual-speed travel and rubber tracks

Guarded hydraulic cylinders, a built-in travel motor integrated with the reducer, engineering rubber tracks and a dual-speed mode that balances fast repositioning with heavy-load climbing.

RIPPA R32 PRO 3.5-ton mini excavator: Rear-opening hood and central grease points

Easy to maintain

Rear-opening hood and central grease points

The rear hood and flip-up side covers expose the engine and hydraulics for daily checks. A metal-covered track tensioning port gives access to the tension cylinder without removing tracks, and grease fittings are grouped in one place.

R32 PRO FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most about this machine. Still unsure? Call 289-271-6947.

Will the R32 PRO fit through a residential gate?
The machine is 5' 1" (61") wide at the tracks and dozer blade, so it fits most double gates and side yards. For narrow single-gate access, look at the smaller R15 ECO or R18 PRO instead.
Can I trailer it behind a pickup?
Operating weight is 3,623 kg (7,987 lb) plus the trailer, so you need a truck and trailer rated for roughly 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) combined. Most half-ton trucks are not suitable; a 3/4-ton or 1-ton with a tandem-axle equipment trailer is typical. We also deliver across Ontario.
What attachments come standard and what is optional?
The machine ships with a digging bucket and the hydraulic quick-change lock, auxiliary lines and dozer blade listed under Standard Equipment. Thumbs, additional buckets, augers, breakers, rakes, rippers, tilt buckets and grapples are optional and listed in the attachments section with the sizes that fit.
Is the R32 PRO an ISO or SAE control pattern?
Both. A pattern-change valve in the cab lets you switch between ISO (excavator) and SAE (backhoe) patterns in seconds.
How does it handle Ontario winters?
The enclosed cab has an air conditioner and a fan heater to keep the glass clear. The engine is a Kubota V1505 diesel; ask us about block heaters and winter fuel conditioning when you order.
What warranty and support do I get?
Two-year warranty backed by our own service department, genuine RIPPA and Kubota parts in stock, dealer pre-delivery inspection, and optional extended coverage and rustproofing available in the builder.
