The Bobcat E42 and E50 compact excavators are the first in the company's R2 series. The E42 excavator offers 42.6 horsepower, and has a maximum reach of 17.6 feet. Maximum dig depth is 10.4 feet. The E50 offers 49.7 horsepower, has a maximum reach of 19.3 feet, and a maximum dig depth of 11.4 feet.

R2-Series joysticks feature a hydraulic control valve that provides finite movement controllability for level grading and fast cycle times. 

Optimal depth check accessory kit minimizes the tendency to over-and-under dig. Depth check functions are integrated with the standard 5-inch LCD display or the optional touch display. The kit is wired, so job conditions or wireless signal loss do not interfere with digging accuracy.

Dual-flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge. The added stability results in lift-over-side capacity, and improves over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability.
