⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Civil Construction Contractor
"I purchased the Rippa Mini Excavator 8 Ton (Base Model) in February 2025, and after 6 months of daily use on urban infrastructure projects, it’s proven to be a workhorse. The Isuzu engine starts reliably every morning, even in damp conditions, and the CAT hydraulic system delivers buttery-smooth bucket control—essential when trenching near utility lines. Its 8-ton weight offers just enough heft for stability without damaging paved access roads. For a used Japanese machine, the build quality is exceptional."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Residential Landscaper
"As a small business owner handling backyard excavations and garden grading, I needed something compact but powerful. The Rippa Mini Excavator (Advanced Model) with its 0.4m³ bucket has been perfect. I upgraded for the extra hydraulic flow, which makes a noticeable difference when using a hydraulic grapple for tree root removal. The steel cab feels safe, and the high-visibility yellow paint keeps me visible on residential streets. After 4 months of use across 15+ projects, zero hydraulic leaks or engine issues."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - Demolition Crew Supervisor
"We leased the Pro Model for a 3-month urban demolition project in late 2024. The 95 HP Isuzu engine and 160 L/min hydraulic flow handled concrete breaking and debris loading with ease. Paired with a hydraulic breaker, it outperformed two smaller machines we previously used. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the initial learning curve with the CAT hydraulic responsiveness—it’s very sensitive, so operators need time to adjust. But once dialed in, precision and speed are unmatched in this weight class."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Reed - City Maintenance Supervisor
"Our municipal team bought two Base Models in January 2025 for storm drain maintenance and sidewalk repairs. The crawler tracks handle muddy embankments better than our old wheeled skid steers, and the 0.32m³ bucket is ideal for controlled digging around buried cables. Maintenance has been minimal—just routine oil changes and track tension checks. The fact that the Isuzu engine meets EU Stage IIIA standards was a key factor in our procurement approval. After 5 months, both units are still running strong with no downtime."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months

Mark Henderson - Construction Equipment Analyst, 15+ years experience
"The Rippa Mini Excavator stands out in the 8-ton class due to its combination of Japanese engineering and CAT hydraulics. While many budget models cut corners on hydraulic components, this machine retains high-end performance. The Isuzu engine’s fuel efficiency and low maintenance make it ideal for contractors operating on tight margins. I particularly recommend the Advanced Model for mid-scale contractors who need a balance of power and maneuverability."
Yuki Tanaka - Certified Japanese Used Machinery Inspector
"Having inspected hundreds of used excavators, I can say the steel frame thickness and corrosion resistance on this model exceed typical export standards. The Isuzu-CAT integration is well-maintained in pre-owned units, and adherence to Japanese machinery standards means lower long-term failure rates. A top-tier choice for buyers seeking reliability in used compact excavators."
