A quick teaser from one of the Powston factories. Mike can't share details yet, but shows a very large excavator headed to our dealership, with a bucket over six feet wide, and says it is not the biggest machine he has coming. Check back for updates, or call 817-382-3201 to ask what is on the way.

Rippa machines come with a manufacturer parts warranty but no service (labor) warranty, which is one reason they are priced so well. Mike announces that Rippa USA Sales is stepping up to offer a service warranty.

HOW IT WORKS, AS DESCRIBED IN THE VIDEO

- We help you arrange service on warranty claims, with coverage bound by a number of labor hours. Mike gives an example based on 15% of a machine's price, which for an R10 with a Kubota diesel works out to about 7.75 hours.

- It applies to the base machine, not attachments, and the engines remain covered by their makers (Kubota, Yanmar and so on).

- It is effective retroactively for customers who already bought a machine from us.

Mike notes that Rippa doesn't offer this itself yet, so he is leading the way and hopes other dealers follow. Call us to confirm the current terms before relying on them.

Rippa has upgraded the toolbox that ships with its machines, and Mike opens one up on the day a big shipment of equipment arrived at our Boyd, Texas dealership. The new box is about 13 inches long and replaces the older yellow one.

WHAT'S INSIDE (NEW AND CARRIED OVER)

- A strap wrench for filters, Allen keys and a mini funnel/siphon, carried over from the older kit.

- The correct replacement filters for the machine, new.

- A new spanner tool that helps with various bolts.

- A small bag of assorted screws. Mike notes that as a dealer, the hardware we buy is grade eight and stainless.

Mike calls it a useful bit of innovation from Rippa.
