Price range: $$

Pools, retaining walls, landscaping and drainage on a suburban block, with side access as the deciding number.

The suburban buyer measures the gap beside the house before anything else. The R06 (747 mm) goes through a doorway, the R13 PRO narrows to 750 mm, and the R15 at 890 mm is the all-rounder for pools, walls and gardens.

What matters on the spec sheet

Minimum track width, operating weight for towing behind a family ute, dig depth for soakwells and pools, and the attachments: a wide mud bucket, a tilt bucket and a hydraulic thumb cover most jobs.
