Description
RIPPA RS04 ECO Gas Compact Skid Steer Loader
Compact Size. Gasoline Power. Professional Hydraulic Performance.
The RIPPA RS04 ECO Gas is a compact tracked skid steer built for landscaping, property maintenance, construction, farm work, and professional attachment use.
Powered by a Briggs & Stratton 420 cc gasoline engine, the RS04 ECO combines a compact footprint with triple-pump hydraulics, dual auxiliary circuits, Float Mode, and an industry-standard quick-attach system.

Briggs & Stratton Gasoline Power
420 cc • 13.5 Gross HP
The RS04 ECO Gas uses a Briggs & Stratton 420 cc gasoline engine with electric start. The engine label specifies 13.5 gross HP (10.07 gross kW) at 3,600 RPM per SAE J1940.
The accessible engine compartment brings the engine, triple hydraulic pump and hydraulic oil cooler together for routine inspection and maintenance.
- Gasoline fuel
- 420 cc displacement
- Electric start
- Separate hydraulic oil cooler
Small Footprint. Serious Lift.
The RS04 ECO is compact enough for gates, residential properties, landscaping projects, and confined jobsites while delivering the hydraulic performance and attachment capability expected from a professional compact loader.

Maximum Lift Without Counterweights
Maximum lifting capacity without optional counterweights: 280 kg (approximately 617 lb). Actual safe working capacity depends on the attachment, load position, terrain, machine configuration, and operating conditions.
One Machine. Two Ways to Work.
The RS04 ECO comes standard on rubber tracks for traction and stability. An optional wheel kit allows the same machine to work efficiently on pavement, hard surfaces, driveways, and maintained properties.
Standard Track Configuration
- Included with the base machine
- Better traction in dirt, mud, and loose material
- Improved stability on uneven terrain
- Lower ground pressure
Optional Wheel Configuration
- Better suited for pavement and hard surfaces
- Fast travel and responsive steering
- Convertible wheel-and-track platform
- Available separately for $650
Triple-Pump Hydraulic System
The RS04 ECO uses a triple-pump hydraulic layout to distribute hydraulic power between travel, loader movement, and attachment functions.
This design provides smoother combined operation than a basic single-pump system and helps the operator drive, lift, tilt, and run compatible hydraulic attachments more efficiently.

Loader Control
Responsive Lift and Tilt

Dedicated Hydraulic Power
Dual Auxiliary
Two Hydraulic Circuits
Latest-Generation Float Mode
Float Mode allows the bucket to follow the ground surface instead of being held rigidly in position by the loader arms.
This is especially useful for back-dragging, grading, snow removal, surface cleanup, and finish work where the attachment should follow changing ground contours.
- Smoother back-dragging
- Cleaner grading results
- Useful for snow removal
- Reduces unwanted digging into the surface
Dual Auxiliary Hydraulics
The RS04 ECO is equipped with dual auxiliary hydraulic outputs, allowing it to operate compatible attachments that require more than one hydraulic function.
Combined with the industry-standard quick coupler, this makes the RS04 ECO a flexible attachment platform for contractors, landscapers, farmers, and property owners.
Optional Counterweight Kit
For additional rear balance, the RS04 ECO can be equipped with eight rear counterweights weighing approximately 15 lb each.

Optional Kit
The optional counterweights add rear balance and can increase lifting capability. The 280 kg maximum listed here applies to the machine without this optional kit. Follow the load limits for the installed configuration.
