Mike shows the latest version of the Rippa R32 that just arrived at our Boyd, Texas dealership.

THE BIG CHANGES

- Four-way dozer blade. Before, the blade only moved up and down. Now a second cylinder pushes the blade side to side as well.

- Explosion-proof (safety) valve. If a hydraulic line ruptures while the bucket is raised, the arm won't slam down.

- Thumb mounting: a completely different way of attaching the thumb.

- Cleaner hoses: the hydraulic lines are tucked in along the boom instead of flopping around, and there is a different quick connect.

- New cab-top lights and updated stickers.

Mike mentions the larger R57 and R82 models are still working out how to add a four-way blade, with Rippa load testing it to make sure it's solid. Part 2 covers the interior.
