Compact Excavators With Best-in-Class Performance
Bobcat® compact excavators (also known as mini excavators) have always delivered peak performance, and M-Series models continue that tradition. Several new or improved features make you more productive, offer reduced engine noise and boost your efficiency.
Auto Idle Control
Auto Idle (all M-Series models) makes it easier and quieter to pause your work, take a quick break or communicate on the jobsite. It automatically idles the engine when machine functions are not used for more than four seconds. When you move the joystick or engage a travel function, the compact excavator returns to the previous throttle position. In addition to reduced noise, you save fuel. Auto idle can be enabled or disabled as needed. See how Auto Idle provides quieter, efficient operation.
Auto Shift Travel
As you push into a pile, Auto-Shift (E32 and E35 models) provides an on-demand power boost. It automatically transitions the engine to and from high range, giving you greater tractive effort with no manual shifting. Simply select the travel speed range and go. A directional lug track provides a smoother ride and less vibration. Learn how Auto-Shift offers superb travel performance.
Superior Boom Swing Control
Control the boom swing and your work with greater ease and precision. A rocker-style thumb switch (E32 and E35), located on the left joystick, improves swing control and provides more floor space. Compared to foot pedals, it's more natural and productive.
The Most Convenient Attachment Changes
The exclusive Bobcat X-Change™ mounting system (available on most models) provides multi-attachment capabilities. The mounting system maintains arm-to-bucket geometry so you maintain top bucket breakout force.
For even faster attachment changes, add Hydraulic X-Change® to your E32 or E35 compact excavator. Hydraulic X-Change® makes it easier to stay productive whether its switching to the proper-sized bucket or selecting the best attachment for your job. This leads to fuel savings, less time backfilling and reduced machine wear.

Hydraulic X-Change® is simple. Flip a switch to activate the hydraulic pins for attachment removal or hook-up. Install the retainer pins before you operate the attachment.
Strong Digging Performance
The smooth, refined hydraulics help you dig out of tough jobs. Smooth control and exceptional metering are delivered through a new load-sensing piston pump and closed center valve system. The cushioned work group cylinders provide a smooth end-of-stroke as you work.
With the ideal match of force and precision, the Bobcat M-Series models offer true performance. Gain more usable power, a predictable and precise workgroup, steady operation and fast cycle times.
Angle Blade Accuracy
Place spoil where you want it with fewer passes. Equip your Bobcat E35 with the optional M-Series angle blade to receive simultaneous up/down and angle adjustments, up to 25 degrees left or right. Direct spoil, minimize spoil "trailers" left by the blade and easily backfill by driving parallel to the trench. The bolt-on cutting edge is easy to rotate and simple to replace, which reduces your operating costs.
