Bobcat E27 Excavator

Auto Shift: Auto-Shift travel shifts the machine out of high range and back automatically, offering superb travel performance without having to manually downshift. It automatically transitions the travel motors to and from high range, giving you greater tractive effort with no manual shifting. Simply select the travel speed range and go. A directional lug track also provides a smoother ride and less vibration when traveling.

Fingertip Boom Swing Control: Bobcat® excavator controls allow you to make fine movements with low effort and maximum comfort – so you can get precise results in less time, with less fatigue. A rocker-style thumb switch, located on the left joystick, provides superior boom swing control with better metering than foot pedals. Multifunction operation, such as swinging and traveling simultaneously, is also easier. With the boom swing control on the joystick, you get more floor space and foot room that provides a comfort advantage on long, tiring jobs.

Dual Direction Detent: Provides continuous flow for attachments in either direction, allowing you to operate attachments without continually pressing a button.

Blade Float: Simplify grading, leveling and backfilling. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.

2-Speed Travel: Maneuver faster with optional 2-Speed travel. The faster you can move on your jobsite, the quicker you can complete your work. For long-haul jobs or work on large jobsites, 2-Speed travel increases your productivity all day long.

Cab Comfort: You’ll be more attentive when your compact excavator is quieter, set to your preferred temperature, and easy to operate. M-Series models continue the Bobcat tradition of comfortable, operator-focused machines. Enjoy more cab space, advanced climate control and reduced noise levels.

Ergonomic Controls: Operator-friendly, ergonomic controls keep you productive all day long. Control attachments with precision, flexibility and low fatigue. Grade, level and backfill with less operator input. Head to the next jobsite using the one-hand travel control. Adjust the arm rests for added comfort.

Hydraulic Joystick Control: More standard comfort features make hard work easier.

Soft Grip Joysticks: Bobcat excavators feature soft-grip pilot control joysticks that provide effortless control of the workgroup.

Engine Monitoring: Keep your Bobcat® compact excavator on the job – and out of the shop – with smart diagnostic features. Machine Shutdown Protection Most Bobcat excavators come standard with automatic shutdown that tracks engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure, hydraulic oil temperature and other functions. The system prevents catastrophic engine failure and shuts the machine down if necessary – lessening the chance of damage to the engine or hydraulic components. Diagnostics Bobcat provides on-board diagnostics to efficiently troubleshoot problems in the field or prevent them before they occur – reducing downtime for you. Cold Weather Engine Protection This feature protects your machine from working too hard before the engine is properly warmed up.

In-Track Swing Frame: Bobcat® compact excavators are engineered to operate in the smallest of workspaces. All models feature the exclusive In-Track Swing Frame, which allows you to get closer to your work. The swing castings and cylinders stay within the tracks when you dig in an offset position.

Instrumentation: Evaluate your machine performance, assess your costs and protect your investment with the handy instrumentation options on Bobcat® compact excavators. The standard panel gives you essential data, while the optional deluxe instrumentation panel offers advanced capabilities.

Protected Machine Components: Exposed hoses, weaker components and inferior design may mean a trip to the shop when you need your machine the most. All Bobcat® compact excavators are equipped with a durable tailgate, protected hydraulic lines, smarter hose routing and a redesigned workgroup.

Machine Protection: Bobcat® compact excavators are designed to prevent problems before they occur. Electronics meet or exceed military requirements for sealing, moisture, shock and vibration. Automatic glow plugs deliver easier starts and longer starter life, while battery run-down protection protects against vandals or forgetful operators.

Separable Cooling Cores: The cooling cores can be separated for quick, easy cleaning of the radiator.

Integrated Slew Brake: Integrated slew brakes hold your load steady on slopes for more accurate placement. It’s easier to position the excavator, and you no longer need to manually engage the slew brake during transport.

Simple Machine Tie-Down: Get on and off the jobsite faster. Secure your load quickly, without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs.

X-Frame Undercarriage: With better ground clearance, the X-frame undercarriage improves your performance in difficult conditions. Dirt and other debris easily pass through this undercarriage, making cleanup faster and leaving less debris on the trailers. The design places drive motors within the width of the tracks, protecting the assembly and improving agility in soft conditions. The recessed motor covers eliminate potential damage and improve your uptime on the job.

Panoramic Serviceability: With Bobcat® compact excavators, it's easy to make maintenance part of your routine. Perform preventative maintenance using Bobcat's industry-leading service access and simple checkpoints. Use your shop time to complete the job instead of gaining access. You'll complete essential maintenance as scheduled and reduce your operating costs.

Centralized Grease Bank: A centralized grease bank makes fast, simple work of lubricating the slew bearing and slew pinion. With the large opening, it’s simple and easy to reach the well-protected grease cylinder fitting and complete track tensioning.

Training Resources: Train operators and technicians in the safe operating and servicing of Bobcat® equipment. Operator training courses, safety videos and other training materials are available at your Bobcat dealer’s parts department or by visiting the training resources.

Standard X-Change: The exclusive X-ChangeTM quick-tach mounting system (available on most models) provides multi-attachment capabilities. The mounting system maintains arm-to-bucket geometry for top breakout force. The system features two pins that engage hooks on your attachment, saving time and headaches when during attachment changes. It also simplifies loading and unloading buckets or attachments on a trailer. The design makes it easy to use the right attachment for the job at hand.
