The R15 ECO delivers professional-grade performance with the reliability of Kubota’s legendary D722 3-cylinder diesel engine. This proven powerplant is recognized throughout the construction industry for exceptional fuel efficiency, low emissions, and long service life. At 13.7 HP, the D722 provides ample power for aggressive digging while maintaining the fuel economy that keeps operating costs manageable on medium-duty applications. At 3,175 lbs operating weight, the R15 ECO strikes the ideal balance between stability during excavation and transportability on standard equipment trailers. The innovative adjustable track width (900-1200mm) allows operators to narrow the machine for passage through gates and doorways, then widen it for maximum stability during heavy digging. This versatility proves invaluable on residential and commercial sites with varying space constraints.
The R15 ECO achieves 5.9 feet of digging depth and 10.7 feet of reach, handling substantial trenching and foundation work that exceeds the capacity of smaller compact models. The zero-tail swing design maintains excellent maneuverability in confined spaces, allowing operation alongside buildings, fences, and property boundaries without repositioning the entire machine. Maximum digging force of 10.4 kN provides strong breakout power for challenging soil conditions. The three-pump hydraulic system delivers responsive control for efficient digging cycles and smooth operation. Operators benefit from the side lever control layout that provides better ergonomics and reduced fatigue during extended work days.
The machine’s compact 983mm transport width enables easy trailer transport and access to restricted jobsites, while the ROPS/TOPS protection structure ensures operator safety. This excavator excels at demanding landscaping work including site grading, retention basin construction, drainage systems, and commercial property preparation. Construction applications include residential and light commercial foundation excavation, utility trenching, demolition work, and material handling. The Kubota engine’s proven reliability and the machine’s versatile design make the R15 ECO an excellent choice for contractors who need dependable performance across diverse applications.
