The Bobcat E17 compact excavator delivers reliable performance, everyday versatility, and maximum maneuverability in a compact, zero-tail-swing design. Built for operators of all experience levels, it offers powerful capability in tight and confined spaces.
 
Powered by a 15-horsepower engine, the E17 provides dependable digging and lifting performance for landscaping, trenching, and property maintenance tasks. The retractable undercarriage and foldable dozer blade reduce overall width to just 38.6 inches, allowing easy access through gates, doorways, and narrow work areas.
 
Low-effort joysticks with fingertip boom swing and auxiliary controls provide precise, responsive operation. A load-sensing pump and closed-center hydraulic system enhance lifting and digging performance while allowing simultaneous travel and work group operation for increased efficiency.
 
Designed for durability and easy transport, the E17 features convenient tie-down points, improved lift-point locations, and an automatic slew brake. Reinforced covers, improved cylinder fittings, under-boom lighting, wider track clearance, and long-life tracks help reduce maintenance needs and maximize uptime.
 
Compact, durable, and easy to operate, the Bobcat E17 compact excavator is a dependable, high-performance solution for professionals who need maneuverability and productivity in tight workspaces.
