Story and Experience
Get Rippa Direct was founded by a contractor with more than 20 years of experience working with
construction equipment. Our goal is simple: provide dependable Kubota-powered machines at fair, dealer-direct pricing without the inflated overhead of traditional equipment dealerships.
Owning a farm in Chattanooga and managing properties in Texas gave us a firsthand look at what local contractors and landowners truly need: equipment that works hard, holds up, and comes with a price tag that makes sense.
We stumbled upon Rippa machinery and were impressed by its build - but it was the Kubota diesel engines inside that sealed the deal for us.
We do not run a fancy showroom with salaried salespeople. Instead, we run a tight operation focused on quality products and transparent pricing. When you come in for a look, you get straightforward advice from people who actually use and rely on these machines. That's how we keep it local, accessible, and fair for every customer.
Why Choose Get Rippa
Kubota-Powered
Every piece of equipment we offer runs on a genuine Kubota diesel engine. That means you get proven reliability, easy servicing, and performance you can put to the test against brands like Toro or Kubota themselves. It is professional-grade power made for tough work.
Dealer Pricing
No showroom rent, no pushy sales staff - just direct, no-nonsense pricing. We store our machines on our own properties to minimize overhead. The result is simple: you pay thousands less than you would at a typical dealership, every time.
In Stock
Forget long dealer waitlists and slow order processes. We keep our mini excavators, skid steers, and backhoes on hand and ready for viewing, demos, or quick pickup. That means you can see, test, and get your equipment working fast.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is simple: give contractors, farmers, and small businesses in Tennessee and Texas access to dependable Kubota-powered equipment, without the dealership markup headache. Two decades working as a contractor taught us there is nothing more valuable on a job than trustworthy machinery and honest pricing. That is why we operate with a low-overhead model, skipping showrooms and sales commissions. By stocking Rippa mini excavators, skid steers, and backhoes on our own properties, we pass the value on directly to our neighbors. Our focus remains clear - deliver tough equipment built for real jobs, keep it affordable, and serve every customer with the kind of personalized attention you can only get from a local team. When you come to us, you get a straightforward buying experience, face-to-face demos, and flexible support long after delivery.
