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.

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

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. Extended intervals are possible through the polymer shims and bushing design.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Choose from three auxiliary hydraulic flow settings for your application.
