Mini excavators · 1.5 t
Rippa R15
The R15 is the machine most Perth owners end up with: 1,460 kg, a three-cylinder Kubota D722, 1,806 mm dig depth and tracks from 890 to 1,190 mm. It has enough weight to dig retaining wall footings in sand and enough reach to work a trench from the driveway, and it is still comfortably towable on a 2 tonne trailer.

Best for
- The all-round suburban machine for retaining walls, soakwells and landscaping
- Owners who want one excavator for a block of work over several years
- Tradies who need something towable behind a mid-size ute
Watch out for
- Hard Hills gravel and limestone want the R18 PRO or R22 PRO
- Dig depth is slightly less than the R10 and R13 on paper because of the bucket geometry
- The most common model second-hand, so resale is easy but competitive
