E17z Mini Excavator

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

If you need more reach from your compact excavator, the extendable-arm option may be just what you need. As 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. The extendable arm cylinder is powered by the primary auxiliary circuit, and a paddle on the right-hand joystick controls the extension and retraction of the arm.

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. This predictable control is delivered through exclusive control valve systems and torque-limiting piston pumps that match force with demand.

Easily change between “excavator” and “backhoe” patterns. No keys are required.

The Bobcat® 418 allows you to position the joysticks outward for comfort, or inward for access through narrow openings.

You’ll be more attentive when your compact excavator is quieter, set to your preferred temperature, and easy to operate. M-Series models continue the Bobcat tradition of comfortable, operator-focused machines. Enjoy more cab space, advanced climate control and reduced noise levels.

The hydraulic joystick control on the Bobcat® excavator delivers smooth, fluid operation and increased efficiency.

Make throttle adjustments with an easy-to-use rotary knob. It provides precise control and adjusts easier than a lever.

Save time and remain productive longer with 250-hour greasing intervals on the E63 and E85. Extended intervals are possible through the polymer shims and bushing design.

Keys are no longer necessary with the optional keyless start on Bobcat® compact excavators. The simple option ensures no time is lost on your worksite if you or your employees forget the keys in the shop. Start your machine by simply entering a set code number and pressing the start button. Keyless start also protects against theft or unauthorized use. The code can easily be changed using the master code supplied with the kit. It’s especially useful for rental machines, as the code can be changed for each customer.

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.

The cooling cores can be separated for quick, easy cleaning of the radiator.

A centralized grease bank makes fast, simple work of lubricating the slew bearing and slew pinion. With the large opening, it’s simple and easy to reach the well-protected grease cylinder fitting and complete track tensioning.

Extended grease intervals let you spend more time getting the job done and less time on maintenance. Pin joints along the boom only require greasing after 50 hours of swing and slew usage and every 250 hours of other use.

With Bobcat® compact excavators, it's easy to make maintenance part of your routine. Perform preventative maintenance using Bobcat's industry-leading service access and simple checkpoints. Use your shop time to complete the job instead of gaining access. You'll complete essential maintenance as scheduled and reduce your operating costs.

Train operators and technicians in the safe operating and servicing of Bobcat® equipment. Operator training courses, safety videos and other training materials are available at your Bobcat dealer’s parts department or by visiting the training resources.

With Bobcat® compact excavators, you’re ready to expand your offerings and work beyond your traditional digging projects. Choose from more than a dozen attachments. Easily add a hydraulic clamp. Use the standard auxiliary quick couplers. Share many attachments with your Bobcat loader.

Ergonomic controls are precise, intuitive and flexible.

As an alternative to a clamp attachment, the Pro Clamp System consists of a base component, standard pin-on work tool and optional grading tool. Grab large, small or irregular objects with greater confidence. Create a smooth trench bottom and clean up spoil piles quickly.

Choose from three auxiliary hydraulic flow settings for your application.
