Two Rippa R32-5 excavators sit side by side at our Boyd, Texas dealership, built a couple of months apart (plate dates of March and May 2026). Mike compares them, and the news is the cab. The machines are about 92% the same mechanically, but the cab is much improved in the newer one.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE NEWER CAB
- It's wider than the R32-3 cab by roughly 6.5 to 7 inches, with more room for taller operators (Mike is 6'1").
- A latch you can reach from the seat to open the door, so you don't have to climb out and push a button.
- More room in the engine compartment for service.
- A big single piece of front glass, large hinges, bigger vents and fans, and better air conditioning airflow.
- A cleaner look overall.
Mike's advice: if both machines are the same price, choose the newer cab. Wondering which R32 you're looking at? Call 817-382-3201 and we'll check the build date for you.
