2017 Bobcat® E42

2017 Bobcat® E42 Compact Excavator for sale in Riverside, CA - Inland Bobcat

The Bobcat® E42 compact excavator (mini excavator) minimizes ground disturbance and excels at bulk excavation tasks. The conventional tail swing offers improved dig depth and reach. It’s also easier to move your machine through tight spaces such as doors, gates, and onto trailers. The Tier 4-compliant E42 can be equipped with a long arm to increase your dig depth and reduce your repositioning. Other options include an angle blade and a clamp-ready extendable arm.

• Arm Configurations

Choose the arm configuration that best meets your needs. The standard power arm offers maximum arm breakout force. For added reach and dig depth, equip your machine with the optional long arm (select models). The first and only clamp-ready extendable arm option (select models) delivers power and lifting performance when it’s retracted, combined with additional reach and dig depth when it’s extended.

• Extendable Arm

If you need more reach from your compact excavator, the extendable-arm option may be just what you need. As needed, the arm can be hydraulically extended up to 30 in., and then retracted to its standard position for maximum arm force and lift performance. The extendable arm cylinder is powered by the primary auxiliary circuit, and a paddle on the right-hand joystick controls the extension and retraction of the arm.

• Selectable Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow

Many Bobcat® compact excavators are equipped with selectable auxiliary hydraulics. Three flow rates help you optimize the response of hydraulic attachments such as PowerTilt® and Hydra-Tilt™ swing accessories, clamps, grapples, hydraulic breakers and auger attachments. Select low flow for precise control, medium flow for placing or handling materials, or maximum flow for peak hydraulic attachment performance.

• Angle Blade

Compact excavators have always had backfill blades for backfilling, but the angle blade option gives you more flexibility. It provides simultaneous up/down and angle adjustment, up to 25 degrees left or right. The Bobcat bolt-on replaceable cutting edge that is easy to rotate and simple to replace, providing lower operating costs.

• Selectable Control Pattern

Easily change between “excavator” and “backhoe” patterns. No keys are required.

• Auto Idle

Auto Idle makes it easier – and quieter – to pause your work, take a quick break or communicate on the jobsite. You’ll save fuel too. When machine functions aren’t used for more than four seconds, the machine automatically idles the engine until work resumes. When you move the joystick controls or initiate travel, the excavator automatically returns to the previously set throttle position. Auto idle can be enabled or disabled as needed.

• 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.
