E35 Mini Excavator

Whether you’re traveling across a jobsite, backfilling, or digging, your excavator’s hydraulic system contributes to performance more than any other feature. When compared to other brands, advanced hydraulics on Bobcat excavators deliver the most horsepower in working range.

Bobcat compact excavators deliver the house, boom, arm and bucket control you expect in the most challenging work environments. It’s the confidence in these precise movements that determines whether you complete the job using your machine, or with two workers and a pair of shovels.

Dig with confidence over the side of the machine and experience greater slewing ability thanks to the dual flange track rollers. Operators will also notice smoother, more comfortable ride quality while moving across bumpy jobsites.

Bobcat excavator controls allow you to make fine movements with low effort and maximum comfort – so you can get precise results in less time, with less fatigue. With the boom swing control on the joystick, you get more floor space and foot room for better operator comfort on long, tiring jobs.

With deluxe instrumentation, vital machine information is at your fingertips. A full-color, 5 in. display gives you access to operation data, functional lockouts, maintenance reminders, eco mode, and includes an integrated keyless start system.

Multiple arm configurations are available on select models: standard, long, and extendable. Depending on the reach, depth, power, and lifting performance you need, there’s an arm to meet the needs of your job and increase productivity.

Simplify grading, leveling and backfilling. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.

Auto-shift travel shifts the machine out of high range and back automatically, offering superb travel performance without having to manually downshift. It automatically transitions the travel motors to and from high range, giving you greater tractive effort with no manual shifting. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling.

Maneuver faster with optional 2-Speed travel. The faster you can move on your jobsite, the quicker you can complete your work. For long-haul jobs or work on large jobsites, 2-Speed travel increases your productivity all day long.

Compact excavators have always had backfill blades for backfilling, but the angle blade option gives you more flexibility. It provides simultaneous up/down and angle adjustment, up to 25 degrees left or right. The Bobcat bolt-on replaceable cutting edge that is easy to rotate and simple to replace, providing lower operating costs.

Bobcat compact excavators have an extendable-arm option for greater reach. When needed, the arm can be hydraulically extended up to 30 in., and then retracted to its standard position for maximum arm force and lift performance.

For added stability, the counterweight on R-Series compact (mini) excavators is integrated into the structure of the machine. This design contributes to an improvement of lift-over-side capacity up to 15 percent in select models. You’ll notice the difference when you’re lifting a heavy load - such as a culvert - and slewing over the side of the machine.

Bobcat compact excavators are engineered to operate in the smallest of workspaces. All models feature the exclusive In-Track Swing Frame, which allows you to get closer to your work. The swing castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when you dig in an offset position.

With better ground clearance, the X-frame undercarriage improves your performance in difficult conditions. Dirt and other materials easily pass through this undercarriage, making cleanup faster and leaving less debris on the trailers.

Integrated slew brakes hold your load steady on slopes for more accurate placement and while your excavator is trailered.

Exposed hoses, weaker components and inferior design may mean a trip to the shop when you need your machine the most. Bobcat compact excavators are equipped with a durable tailgate, protected hydraulic lines, smarter hose routing and a redesigned workgroup.

Choose an excavator model with a tail swing configuration that best fits your maneuverability needs: zero tail swing, minimal tail swing and conventional tail swing.

Extend the life of your backfill blade through the bolt-on, one-piece and reversible cutting edge. Compared to welded-on cutting edges, the cutting edge on the angle blade is easily reversible and replaceable.

Bobcat compact excavators are designed to prevent problems before they occur. Electronics meet or exceed military requirements for sealing, moisture, shock and vibration. Automatic glow plugs deliver easier starts and longer starter life, while battery run-down protection protects against vandals or forgetful operators.

Keys are no longer necessary with the optional keyless start panel on Bobcat compact excavators. Keyless start ensures no time is lost on your worksite if you or your employees forget the keys in the shop. It also protects against theft or unauthorized use of your excavator.

Get on and off the jobsite faster. Secure your load quickly with accessible tie-downs. Bobcat compact (mini) excavators come standard with four tie-down points that are easy to reach.

Steel tracks increase your pushing force when you're working in harsh or abrasive jobsites. The segmented construction makes for quick, convenient repair and the rubber pads give you a more comfortable ride.

Premium comfort gives you the endurance to power through long days and tough jobs. When you step inside the R-Series compact (mini) excavator cab, you’ll see refinements everywhere you look, including plenty of headroom and legroom, clear visibility, and a larger suspension seat. Each feature has been designed to help keep you working all day long.
