2024 Bobcat® Compact Excavators E88

2017 Bobcat® E85

With best-in-class over-the-side lifting performance, the Bobcat® E63 compact excavator attacks your most difficult jobs. Improved slew performance makes it an ideal machine for working on slopes. The Tier 4-compliant E63 is a conventional tail swing model. You'll remain comfortable all day long in the standard, fully adjustable super deluxe seat.

• Selectable Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow

Many Bobcat® compact excavators are equipped with selectable auxiliary hydraulics. Three flow rates help you optimize the response of hydraulic attachments such as PowerTilt® and Hydra-Tilt™ swing accessories, clamps, grapples, hydraulic breakers and auger attachments. Select low flow for precise control, medium flow for placing or handling materials, or maximum flow for peak hydraulic attachment performance.

• Selectable Control Pattern

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

• Auto Idle

Auto Idle makes it easier – and quieter – to pause your work, take a quick break or communicate on the jobsite. You’ll save fuel too. When machine functions aren’t used for more than four seconds, the machine automatically idles the engine until work resumes. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the excavator automatically returns to the previously set throttle position. Auto idle can be enabled or disabled as needed.

• Auto Shift

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. Simply select the travel speed range and go. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling.

• Fingertip Boom Swing Control

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. A rocker-style thumb switch, located on the left joystick, provides superior boom swing control with better metering than foot pedals. Multifunction operation, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, is also easier. With the boom swing control on the joystick, you get more floor space and foot room that provides a comfort advantage on long, tiring jobs.

• Two-Speed Travel

Maneuver faster with the Bobcat two-speed option. The quicker you can move on your jobsite, the faster you can complete your work. Select low range for pushing and dozing and high range for increased jobsite mobility.

• Conventional Tail Swing

Compared to their minimal or zero tail swing counterparts, conventional tail swing models typically deliver the greatest lift capacity in the Bobcat® lineup. Conventional tail swing excavators also have a narrower stance (width) for improved access through doorways, gates, property lines or other restrictions. It’s also helpful when you load the machine on a trailer.
