Who the R13 PRO suits

Owners who want a compact machine that feels smoother and quicker than the entry models — landscapers, fencing contractors and homeowners with regular jobs.

Best jobs for the R13 PRO

  • Trenching for reticulation, drainage and cabling
  • Post holes and footings with an auger
  • Retaining wall and garden edging prep
  • Light breaking with a hydraulic breaker
  • Tidy-ups and levelling with the blade

Strengths

  • 3-cylinder Kubota is smoother and quieter than 2-cylinder engines
  • Dual-speed travel for faster moves around site
  • Narrow 750 mm minimum track width
  • More hydraulic flow for attachments

Consider

  • Still a compact class machine — not for bulk earthmoving
  • Consider a heavier model for rocky ground
