The R22 PRO bridges the gap between compact maneuverability and professional excavation capability. Built around the Kubota D1105 diesel engine, this machine provides dependable torque and fuel efficiency, making it an excellent solution for contractors seeking a reliable daily-use excavator.
Performance is driven by an advanced three-pump hydraulic system that enables simultaneous multi-function operation. Operators can control boom, arm, and bucket movements smoothly without sacrificing power, resulting in faster cycle times and improved jobsite productivity. The performance section of the official brochure highlights the machine’s strong digging force and stable straight-line tracking during operation.
One of the standout features of the R22 PRO is its expandable undercarriage. Contractors can narrow the machine for transport or tight access, then widen the track stance to 1500mm for enhanced digging stability. This flexibility makes the excavator ideal for residential excavation, foundation preparation, trenching, and property development.
Operator comfort is another major advantage. The spacious cab includes a large digital display, shock-absorbing seat, improved visibility, and climate control options. The ergonomic control layout helps reduce fatigue during long workdays, while the enclosed structure improves safety and all-weather usability.
Maintenance has also been simplified through a full-opening engine hood and accessible service points. Key components such as the oil tank, filters, and cooling systems are positioned for quick inspection, reducing downtime and ensuring long-term reliability.
From municipal contractors to landscaping professionals, the R22 PRO offers the perfect balance of size, power, and versatility for growing businesses that require dependable performance across a wide range of applications.
The R22 PRO is a 2.2-tonne mini excavator engineered around a Kubota drivetrain for professional daily use.
| Operating Weight | 2.2 tonne class |
|---|---|
| Engine Platform | Kubota-based |
| Design Focus | Bridging compact maneuverability with professional excavation capability |
| PRO Series Features | Heavy-duty frame, reinforced components, premium hydraulic cylinders |
The 2.2-tonne class is the working size that most Ontario general contractors settle on: enough dig depth and lift capacity for real production work, still transportable on a standard equipment trailer with a properly rated tow vehicle. The R22 PRO is our recommendation in this size for contractors who need a machine that will run daily under commercial demands.
Compared to the smaller 1.3-1.8 tonne class, the R22 PRO delivers meaningfully faster cycle times on trenching and bulk material work. Compared to the heavier 3-3.5 tonne class, it stays inside more residential access points and travels behind a wider range of tow vehicles.
