Rippa RS04 Skid Loader – Versatile Power in a Gate-Access Frame

(2 Year/2000 Hour Warranty)

The Rippa RS04 is engineered for the professional or property owner who needs to bring heavy-duty digging power into the most restricted environments. Now offering the flexibility to choose your powerplant, the RS04 is available with the legendary Kubota Z482 liquid-cooled diesel.

• Genuine Kubota Z482 Diesel Engine: The ultimate professional upgrade. This liquid-cooled, 2-cylinder powerhouse is world-renowned for its "bulletproof" reliability, offering superior fuel economy, quieter operation, and the high-torque pushing power needed for heavy daily use.

  • Kubota Z482 Diesel Engine: The diesel option is rated at 11.1 to 11.5 HP (8.3 kW).

  Diesel engines naturally produce more pushing/digging force at lower RPMs, which is why the 11-horsepower Kubota can dig and push just as hard—if not harder—than the 23-horsepower gas engine under heavy loads.
