Two New Mid-Size Models Join the Bobcat Excavator Line

Two new models-the 329 and 335-expand the selection of Bobcat® excavators to a total of 14 different machines.

"The 329 is designed for those who want the performance of a mid-size, conventional tail swing excavator in a value-priced package," says Tom Connor, Bobcat excavator product specialist. "It is designed to appeal to first-time buyers, especially plumbing and utility contractors who do shallow excavating and load trucks. It's also a good fit for rental centers.

"The 335 offers a way to step up in performance from the Bobcat 331 or 334 models without having to upgrade to a larger trailer or towing vehicle. It fits the needs of landscape contractors, who dig retaining wall footings and place materials such as concrete blocks and boulders. This excavator is also ideal for grading, excavation and demolition contractors."

The 7,098-lb., 329 offers a 10 ft., 2 in. maximum digging depth and 16 ft. maximum digging reach at ground level. It's equipped with a 28 hp Tier II compliant engine for greater fuel economy and cooler operation.

Like all Bobcat excavators, the 329 is engineered to keep you working productively and comfortably day in and day out. Its 360-degree cab rotation and independent boom swing are enhanced by hydraulic circuits that use the latest in pump and valve technology for excellent control of work group functions. The variable flow bi-directional auxiliary hydraulic system features a thumb-operated switch on the right joystick for easy, precise operation of hydraulic Bobcat attachments.

The engine and hydraulic monitoring system automatically shuts down the engine under extreme fluid temperatures and pressure to reduce the chance of catastrophic damage. An optional keyless start system minimizes unauthorized use of the machine.

For added productivity the 329 comes standard with such comforts as a roomy cab with easy entry and exit, a fully-adjustable suspension seat, soft touch joysticks and an easy-to-use switch for high/low travel speed selection. A control pattern selector valve lets you switch quickly between ISO and Standard control patterns.

The optional enclosed cab with a high-output heater keeps you warm and dry when the weather turns bad.

Operation is easy and convenient thanks to features such as the blade float which exerts a minimal but consistent down-force on the blade to make quick work of grading, leveling and backfilling jobs.

The standard heavy-duty X-ChangeTM attachment mounting system makes it easy to hook-up and remove more than a dozen different Bobcat attachments.

You'll also like the swing-open tailgate and side access hood for quick, easy access to all fluid and daily maintenance checkpoints.

Available with an enclosed cab, the 335 is one of the few in its class that offers factory-installed air conditioning. The automotive-type ventilation package for heating, cooling and defrosting provides an ideal work environment.
