Awesome bundle
Buying all 12 of these attachments separately would cost thousands. The value of this package is simply unbeatable.
-
Awesome digger, tight seat
The power is excellent for a 2.3T machine. The operator area is just a little tight for me (I’m 6’3), but it’s manageable for shorter jobs.
-
Quiet and smooth
For a diesel engine, it’s surprisingly quiet. My neighbors haven’t complained once while I’ve been working on my backyard remodel.
-
Perfect 2.3-ton size
The 2.3-ton weight is the perfect sweet spot. It’s easy to tow with my standard truck but has the digging power of a much larger machine. The Kubota engine is flawless.
-
Manual could be translated better
The machine itself is a 5/5, but the included instruction manual has some poorly translated English which made the maintenance schedule confusing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this heavy equipment shipped?
Due to the size and weight of our commercial machinery, all orders are shipped via standard LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight. The carrier will contact you prior to delivery to schedule a drop-off window. Please ensure someone is present at the delivery location to inspect and sign for the equipment.
What does the 3-Year Parts Warranty cover?
We stand behind the robust construction of our machinery. Our 3-year parts warranty covers any manufacturing defects in major structural components, motors, and factory-installed hardware. It does not cover standard wear-and-tear items such as belts, blades, or tires.

Do you accept returns?
We accept returns on unused, uncranked machinery within 30 days of delivery. Because of the logistical complexity of LTL freight, returns are subject to a restocking fee and the buyer is responsible for return freight costs. Please contact support immediately if an item arrives damaged so we can file a claim with the carrier.

Ryan S. –
We use this daily for building retaining walls and moving gravel. The wide bucket makes grading a driveway very quick.
Gregory K. –
It’s actually fun to run. The controls are intuitive and the machine does exactly what you ask it to without hesitation.
Steven H. –
Delivery was smooth and the customer service team answered all my maintenance questions right away. Very happy with the purchase.
Richard B. –
The tracks are heavy-duty and the undercarriage is easy to clean mud out of. It climbs steep grades without slipping.
Luke P. –
The Kubota engine is amazing. The quick attach system was a little stiff the first few times I swapped the 12 attachments, but it loosened up with some grease.
Gordon C. –
You can’t beat the Kubota diesel. It runs forever. I do wish the seat had a bit more suspension for when I’m working on really bumpy ground.
Kevin D. –
I used the ripper and the thumb to pull out about 30 mature tree stumps. The machine didn’t even break a sweat. Amazing power.
Dennis H. –
All the grease zerks are easy to access. Doing daily maintenance takes less than 5 minutes. Oil changes are simple too.
Marcus L. –
From the ordering process to the daily operation, everything has been perfect. This RIPPA excavator is a fantastic machine.
Kyle D. –
Swinging a fully loaded bucket feels very controlled. No sudden jerks, which makes loading dump trailers much safer.
Tyler B. –
I’ve been renting for years and finally bought my own. This R22 is just as capable as the rental yard machines, if not better.
Timothy R. –
Working next to house foundations is much less stressful with this design. You don’t have to worry about swinging the back end into a wall.
Jason O. –
Having 12 different attachments means I’m always finding new uses for it. The quick hitch makes swapping them out take only seconds.
Daniel K. –
Bought this for my plumbing business. Digging down to main lines is a breeze. The narrow bucket it came with is perfect for our trenches.
Chris B. –
We have very hard clay soil here, but the breakout force on this 2.3-ton machine handles it easily, especially with the ripper tooth attached.
Matthew C. –
I’m amazed at how little fuel this engine uses. I can run it almost all week on a single fill-up doing light grading and trenching.
James R. –
I’ve put about 150 hours on it clearing brush and digging trenches. Not a single issue. The hydraulic system is very responsive and smooth.
Edward J. –
If you are on the fence, just buy it. The 2.3-ton size is perfect for 90% of jobs and the price cannot be beaten.
Victor N. –
The 12 attachments are a huge plus. The auger drive is strong, but the included teeth on the bit wore down fast in my rocky soil. Still a great deal.
Eric T. –
Sometimes ‘free’ attachments are cheap, but these are solid steel and well-constructed. The auger has been great for fence posts.
Mike T. –
Getting 12 free attachments is unheard of. I’ve already used the auger, the thumb, and the ripper. They all attach easily and feel very heavy-duty.
Trevor F. –
Handles everything on my property. It’s a bit louder than I expected when running at high RPMs, so I recommend good ear protection.
Frank M. –
It might only be 2.3 tons, but it lifts and digs like a 3-ton machine. The hydraulic pressure is excellent.
Shawn E. –
Ran it hard in 95-degree heat all day and the hydraulics never got sluggish. The cooling system works perfectly.
Samuel T. –
Lifted some massive landscaping boulders into place. The hydraulic thumb held them securely the entire time.
Brian N. –
The welds are clean, the steel is thick, and the hoses are routed well to prevent snagging. It feels like a premium piece of equipment.
Derek S. –
It digs great and the attachments are awesome. I noticed the paint on the boom chipped pretty easily when a rock hit it, but it’s a dirt machine.
Justin P. –
You pay for reliability with Kubota, and it’s worth it. Knowing parts are easily available gives me great peace of mind.
Adam G. –
It navigates over rocky terrain easily without high-centering. The track drive motors are very strong.
Jeff W. –
Fits perfectly on my equipment trailer and doesn’t overload my half-ton pickup. The tie-down points are well placed.
Thomas G. –
I bought this for maintaining my 20-acre farm. It has saved my back. The thumb attachment makes moving logs and rocks incredibly easy.
Andrew V. –
The seating position is good and the controls are ergonomically placed. I can run it for 8 hours without feeling beat up.
Gary F. –
Even on freezing mornings, the Kubota diesel fires right up. Very dependable machine for daily use.
Raymond H. –
Digging is buttery smooth. When tracking in high speed on hard pavement it can be a little jumpy, but in low speed it’s perfect.
William P. –
The joystick controls are precise. I can do very delicate grading work with the wide bucket. Highly recommend for contractors.
Sarah L. –
I only buy machines with Kubota engines, and this R22 does not disappoint. It sips diesel and runs incredibly smooth all day long.
Aaron C. –
We laid 500 feet of electrical conduit in one afternoon. The machine tracks perfectly straight and digs fast.
Benjamin W. –
I’m building my own house and this has been my most used tool. From foundations to septic, it has done it all.
Paul W. –
Even when fully extended, the machine feels very stable. The track expansion is a great feature for working on uneven ground.
Robert C. –
I priced out similar 2.5-ton units from big brands and they were double the price without the attachments. This RIPPA is an absolute steal and works just as hard.
Peter V. –
The R22 is fantastic and the Kubota engine is strong. I’m giving 4 stars only because the freight company delivered it two days later than promised.
Alan M. –
Put 50 hours on it quickly. It works hard. Had a minor squeak in one of the track rollers but greasing it fixed it immediately. Very solid machine.
Patrick N. –
I bought this sight unseen and was a bit nervous, but it has exceeded every expectation. It’s a rugged, hard-working machine.
David H. –
Maneuverability is excellent. I use it for residential landscaping where fences and gates are tight. The 2.3T footprint fits perfectly without tearing up the yard.
Larry A. –
Tore up an old asphalt driveway with ease. The machine stayed planted and the bucket teeth held up perfectly.
Colin B. –
The machine itself is a 5/5, but the included instruction manual has some poorly translated English which made the maintenance schedule confusing.
John S. –
The 2.3-ton weight is the perfect sweet spot. It’s easy to tow with my standard truck but has the digging power of a much larger machine. The Kubota engine is flawless.
