E17 Compact Excavator Key Features

The Bobcat E17 compact excavator is designed for operators who need reliable mini excavator performance in tight jobsites, narrow access areas, and compact workspaces. Its zero-tail-swing design provides unrestricted rotation so operators can dig, slew, and reposition near walls, buildings, fences, foundations, landscaping, and other obstacles with less risk of contact. The retractable undercarriage and foldable dozer blade reduce overall machine width to just 38.6 inches, helping the E17 pass through confined access points while still delivering the power and stability needed for digging, grading, trenching, and backfilling.
