Bobcat 323

Sept. 28, 2010

Weighing 3,655 pounds, the Bobcat 323 compact excavator has a dig depth of 7 feet 6 inches and a reach at ground level of 12 feet 10 inches. It generates 13.3 horsepower from its liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engine, and its torque-limiting hydraulic pump produces 7.9 gpm. The 323's rubber tracks (steel tracks are available) distribute the machine's weight over a broad area to lower ground pressure to 4.1 psi. Two-speed travel motors provide speeds of 1.4 and 2.4 mph.
