The Bobcat E17 Compact Excavator is a zero-tail-swing machine built to deliver reliable performance, everyday versatility, and maximum maneuverability. Designed for operators of all experience levels, the E17 combines compact size with job-ready capability for tight and demanding work areas.
A retractable undercarriage and folding dozer blade reduce overall width to just 38.6 inches, allowing the E17 to pass through narrow access points while still providing stability when extended. Low-effort joysticks with fingertip boom swing and auxiliary controls deliver smooth, precise operation for digging, grading, and material handling.
Powered by a 15-horsepower engine, the E17 features a load-sensing pump and closed-center hydraulic system that enhance lifting and digging performance while allowing travel and workgroup operation at the same time. This balanced hydraulic design improves efficiency and operator control across a wide range of applications.
Built for durability and easy transport, the E17 includes improved lift-point locations, integrated tie-downs, and an automatic slew brake for safer hauling between jobsites. Reinforced, easy-opening covers, under-boom lighting, top light protection, improved cylinder fittings, and long-life tracks reduce maintenance demands and maximize uptime.
