Bobcat E17 Excavator

The E17 Bobcat compact excavator expands the lineup with a 15-horsepower unit capable of digging to 88 inches. Operating weight is 3,774 pounds, and maximum dump height is 98 inches.

The Bobcat E17 has a load-sensing pump and closed-center hydraulic system,  fingertip controls.

Its in-track swing frame and zero-tail-swing design allow for unrestricted rotation, enhancing maneuverability. Operators can adjust the machine’s footprint by hydraulically retracting the undercarriage from its full 53.5-inch stance down to 38.6 inches, and the dozer blade can be manually folded to match the compact width.
