Overview
Made for the way British contractors actually work.
The RS03 is our smallest tracked skid steer, engineered for landscapers, garden designers and smallholders who need loader capability where a full-size machine simply will not fit — through a standard side gate, into a walled rear garden, onto a cobbled stable yard or up a narrow farm track.
Rubber tracks protect finished lawns and block paving. Quick-attach hitch and standard auxiliary hydraulics let one small machine handle bucket work, forks, augers and mowing without switching kit.
Ashmoors specifies, inspects and prepares this machine for the UK market, supplies it and remains responsible for its UK warranty, parts, servicing and technical support. It is manufactured by RIPPA under its original model code.

- Equestrian & stable yards

FAQs
Questions we hear a lot.
Not seeing yours? Request a callback — discuss the job directly with our UK team.
What engine is fitted to the RS03?+
The Ashmoors RS03 Skid Steer is fitted with a Briggs & Stratton S-XR2100 petrol, 10 kW, as published in the manufacturer's specification. The full specification table on this page lists every confirmed figure for the machine.
What does the RS03 weigh, and can it be towed in the UK?+
The RS03 is quoted at 140 kg. Add the tare weight of your plant trailer, typically 700-800 kg for a braked 3.5-tonne trailer, to get the towed weight, then check that total against your trailer plate, your towing vehicle's limits and your licence entitlement before travelling. Machines above roughly 8 tonnes are delivered by low-loader instead.
What warranty does the RS03 come with?+
Every RS03 comes with a 12-month parts warranty, with warranty claims handled for you in the UK by Ashmoors. The engine also carries the engine manufacturer's own warranty, and extended cover can be quoted on request. Full terms are confirmed in writing with your order.
How quickly can the RS03 be delivered?+
Machines are held in stock in the UK. Mainland UK delivery is typically 3–5 working days from cleared payment, fully insured, and we confirm a delivery day with you in advance. Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are arranged on request.
Are spare parts held in the UK?+
Contact Ashmoors with the RS03 serial number and required part. We will confirm compatibility, availability and delivery before you order.
Can I finance the RS03?+
Finance options may include hire purchase and finance lease through UK-regulated funders. Terms and monthly figures depend on the machine, deposit, term and applicant status.
Do I need a CPCS ticket to operate this machine?+
Operator ticketing requirements depend on the site, insurance and duty. For most domestic and light-commercial work the RS03 does not legally require CPCS, but many hire firms and main contractors will still require an appropriate ticket. Speak to your site's health & safety lead.
What attachments fit the RS03?+
General purpose bucket, Pallet forks, Auger, Grapple bucket, Sweeper broom — plus most common auxiliary-hydraulic attachments sized for the class.
Where can I compare the RS03 against other skid steers?+
Every machine in the Skid Steers range is listed at /machinery/skid-steers. Call us and we'll walk you through the spec differences against the closest alternatives — we'd rather sell you the right machine than the biggest one.
Do you sell used skid steers?+
Our listed range is new machinery. Contact the Ashmoors team to ask about current availability.
