The guy from Tyler, David offered both a cage and a cab version for the R18.

Nice and sorry about the emoji's - iPhone issue. Cab's are nice if you want/need to be out of the elements, but the smaller machines tend to be cramped inside - I'm 6'3" and fit on my machine but would not want a cab on it. The Rippa18 is larger than the Terror 18 machine as I recall.

Ha, I was wondering what that was. The cab seems to be spacious for the size of the excavator.

Anyone purchased anything from FC Construction Machinery Group? They seem legit and communication has been fine. I just worry about paying close to $20k.

They are a dealer for Rippa and other equipment too - best to have a dealer to fall back on. Home | Fc Construction Machinery Group

From the videos they have a pretty large operation and lots of machines in crates for assembly.

Thanks. I'm about to put a deposit.

Interesting. I didnt know they had a web-site. I have been seeing their ads on local Facebook Marketplace for awhile. I first became aware of them as I frequently drive by a Tyler Texas hardware store where they have staged Rippa units for sale for the last year or so. I can tell you they have sold a BUNCH of units in that period of time so I think they must be doing somethng right.
Good luck with the purchase.

Thanks. Just put a deposit for cabbed R18. My tractor doesn’t have a cab and many times I wished it did. It gets very windy here and 9 months out the year it’s cold or cool.

Congratulations on your R18 Pro Mini Ex purchase! How long is the wait or delivery time?
