FAQ

Common questions from Tasmania buyers

All questions
What does a mini excavator cost to run on a Tasmanian farm?

For a 2 tonne machine doing 200 to 300 hours a year: diesel, DIY servicing, tracks and insurance come to a few thousand dollars, with depreciation the largest line. The running cost estimator on this site works it out for your hours and Tasmanian diesel price.

How do I get a machine to Tasmania?

Rippa Australia arranges road freight to Melbourne, sea freight across Bass Strait and delivery to your address or a depot in Devonport, Burnie, Launceston or Hobart, quoted as one figure. Allow five to ten days.

Which machine fits between orchard rows?

The R13 PRO narrows to 750 mm and the R10 to 912 mm; both work in standard apple and vine rows. The R15 at 890 mm suits wider rows and does more general work.

Can a dual-cab ute tow a Rippa excavator in Tasmania?

A 3,500 kg braked rating tows the R22 PRO on a 3.5 tonne trailer with breakaway brakes. Tasmanian hills and wet roads argue for margin; use the towing check to compare.
