- What is the difference between the RL06 and the RB06?
- The RL06 is a compact articulated wheel loader. The RB06 is the same loader with a hydraulic excavator arm and stabilizers on the back, so it also trenches and digs. The RB06 weighs about 600 kg (1,323 lb) more.
- Can I tow a RIPPA loader behind a pickup?
- Yes. The RL06 is 1,725 kg (3,803 lb) and the RB06 is 2,325 kg (5,126 lb). Both trailer behind a half-ton on a tandem-axle equipment trailer with brakes. We also deliver anywhere in Ontario.
- What attachments fit?
- Loader buckets, 4-in-1 buckets, pallet forks, side-shift forks, augers, sweepers, dozer and snow blades, log grapples, trenchers, mixers, breakers and stump grinders. Every one is listed with sizes on the RL06 and RB06 pages.
- Is the RB06 a real backhoe?
- It is a compact backhoe loader: 8' 2" (98") dig depth, 3,552 lbf breakout force, a 16" bucket and a swivel seat between the loader and excavator consoles. It is sized for acreages, landscaping and utility work, not for a full-size construction backhoe's jobs.
- What warranty and support come with it?
- Two-year warranty backed by the RIPPA Service Centre in Thorold, genuine RIPPA and Kubota parts shipped across Canada, dealer pre-delivery inspection and an owner walk-through at delivery.
