Rippa R10 ECO: the 1-tonne class mini excavator, available with a cab
The Rippa R10 ECO is the entry into the 1-tonne class: 1,028 kg operating weight, 1.56 m digging depth and a transport width of only 917 mm. You choose between an air-cooled Ligong 192F single-cylinder diesel with 10.4 hp that meets the Euro 5 emissions standard and a water-cooled Kubota Z482 two-cylinder engine. With the optional heated cab, the R10 ECO is also ready for the cold season.

With 1.56 m digging depth, the R10 ECO digs utility and cable trenches, drainage and ponds and prepares foundations for garages and garden sheds. With the dozer blade you backfill and level straight afterwards. With an auger, hydraulic breaker, timber grab and ripper tooth it sets posts, breaks concrete, moves timber and loosens hard ground.
At 917 mm wide, the R10 ECO fits through many yard gates and garden entrances. The 180 mm wide rubber tracks and the low ground pressure of 25.5 kPa are gentle on lawns and paving. Our excavator transport guide explains how to transport the R10 ECO safely on a trailer.
The air-cooled Ligong 192F single-cylinder diesel meets the Euro 5 emissions standard and delivers 10.4 hp at 3,000 rpm. If you prefer a water-cooled two-cylinder, choose the Kubota Z482. With a theoretical consumption of 0.8 to 1.2 litres per hour, the 8.5-litre tank lasts a calculated seven to ten hours. Spare parts for the engine and hydraulics can be found under spare parts for the R10 ECO.
We offer buckets in several widths, an auger, a hydraulic breaker, a grapple, a fork and a ripper for the R10 ECO. The attachments also fit the R06, the R13 PRO and the R15 ECO. Get off to an affordable start with the starter set of three attachments, 5% cheaper than buying them individually. All matching parts can be found under attachments for the R10 ECO.
The R10 ECO is available with an open operator station or with a cab. The heated cab protects against wind, rain and cold and pays off if you work all year round. Air conditioning is not available on the R10 ECO. If you need it, you will find it as an option on the R15 ECO.
For the R10 ECO we carry our largest range of spare parts and keep common spare and wear parts in stock in Europe. Maintenance is easiest at your Rippa partner dealer – then it is documented straight away. In the Rippa Owners Club you register your machine and collect points for spare parts and maintenance.

Do you need an even narrower machine? Then take a look at the 747 mm wide R06. For more digging depth and a hydraulic quick coupler there is the R13 PRO, and for a cab with air conditioning the R15 ECO.
