HIGHLIGHTS
- Several major changes from the earlier R57. See the R57 page on RippaUSASales.com for the full list.
- Load charts are available near the bottom of each excavator page on our website.
- Under the hood: battery disconnect, two hydraulic pumps, the diesel fuel tank, hydraulic oil tank, hydraulic filter, cold air intake and plenty of grease fittings.
- Cab: an air adjustable seat that is very comfortable, a seat that slides back and forth, LED lights, a radio with Bluetooth speakers, and four heater and air conditioner vents on each side.
- Controls: the engine speed throttle, dozer blade control, lights, windshield wiper (fast and slow) and engine start are on the side console. There are no floor controls other than the travel pedals.
- Visibility: a large front window, about 40 inches wide and roughly 32 inches tall, plus a glass roof panel like the R32, makes it easy to see what you are doing.
- Shipping: only two of these fit in a 40 foot container, which is why supply is limited.
We do our normal setup on every machine: fresh grease on every fitting, a gasket around the steel floor plate and a gritty non slip surface under the floor mat.
