The 2017 Bobcat E26 is a highly popular 2.9-metric-ton compact mini excavator engineered to strike a balance between small-footprint accessibility and robust lifting performance. Belonging to Bobcat’s M-Series family, the 2017 design utilizes a minimal tail swing architecture. The rear house counterweight overhangs the tracks by just 3.5 inches during a 90-degree turn, offering great structural protection when digging tight up against residential foundations or urban roadway barriers.
