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.
