When your jobsite demands precision in the tightest spaces, the Bobcat E17 Mini Excavator delivers serious digging power without the bulky footprint. The true advantage of this machine is its hydraulically retractable undercarriage—pulling in to a narrow 38.6 inches to easily squeeze through standard backyard gates and tight property lines, then expanding back to 53.5 inches to provide a rock-solid base for heavy lifting. Weighing in at just under 3,800 pounds, it is incredibly easy to tow between sites on a standard light-duty trailer. Whether your crews are handling utility trenching, residential landscaping, or demanding hardscaping projects, the Tier 4-compliant E17 provides the perfect combination of breakout force and exceptional maneuverability to maximize your daily productivity.
