Bobcat E35 Specs, Comparison, & Review

Here’s What We Think about the E35 Mini Excavator

So the thing about the Bobcat E35? It’s nearly impossible to keep in stock. 

No, seriously —we put one on the lot, we turn around, and someone’s already bought it. Why is this excavator so popular? Let’s start by comparing the Bobcat E35 specs to other machines. We’ll follow it up with some real customer feedback, then decide if the E35 is right for you. Come check it out with us! 

Bobcat E35 Specs

• Horsepower: 25-33 hp 

• Operating Weight: 7,893 lb 

• Dig Depth: 10 ft 1 in 

• Hydraulic Flow: 16.9 gal/min 

• Bucket Digging Force: 7,284 lbf 

• Rated Lift Capacity: 3,318 lb 

What Does This Mean?
This excavator has over 10 feet of dig depth and more than 7,200 pounds of bucket digging force, so it’s built for trenching and digging (especially in hard-packed dirt). It can lift over 3,300 pounds, making it a good choice for loading and grading. And standard auxiliary hydraulics let you run attachments like thumbs or breakers without extra setup. There’s also an optional secondary hydraulic circuit if you need to power dual-function attachments. 

Beyond the Specs: What We Like About the E35

What really makes the E35 stand out is how customizable it is. You can choose the features you want, matching the machine to your work. Here are a few of the most popular options: 

• Optional R2-series cab (which has better visibility and comfort) 

• Standard, long, and extendable arm options 

• Hydraulic X-Change™ attachment exchange (the mechanical X-Change comes standard on the excavator) 

• Optional upgrades like keyless/password start system, 7-inch touch display, depth check technology, and diverter valve 

Basically….you can get the most customized-to-your-job excavator with the E35. And it still fits on your equipment trailer behind a ¾ to 1 ton truck. 

Why It Outperforms Other Brands

When you put the E35 next to similar models from Kubota, Deere, and Cat, the difference shows. Use the graphic below to see the exact differences. 

The Bobcat E35 holds its own across the board. It’s not the heaviest machine, but it offers competitive horsepower and dig depth, and it has one of the strongest lift capacities in the group. The bucket digging force is right in the middle, and the hydraulic flow gives you what you need for most attachments.
