Bobcat Excavator
So you're looking for a powerful piece of construction equipment, but a mere backhoe loader won't cut it and a bulldozer won't do either. Maybe what you need is a Bobcat excavator! Bobcat excavators generally come in compact (or “mini”) hydraulic models. This gives the operator (you) several advantages that you wouldn't have with excavators that use a traditional center-mount backhoe.
Bobcat excavator backhoes are commonplace in the construction market today. When you primarily need a machine in order to do backhoe work, Bobcat excavators allow you a more efficient way of doing this kind of work. Here are some of the advantages of a Bobcat excavator over the traditional Bobcat backhoe.
Bobcat excavators are designed specifically for trench and excavation work. For example, the operator is offset, giving the bucket better visibility. Also, the operator will rotate along with the upper structure of the Bobcat excavator, reducing the fatigue that excessive head movement might otherwise cause. There is no stabilizer or bucket to lift and reset, so you can reposition the machine more quickly. Besides, the Bobcat excavator's compact size allows it to enter more job sites and lessens the disturbance to surrounding areas.
You can use a Bobcat excavator to finish a job started by larger Bobcat excavators. Since the house on top of the machine can rotate 360 degrees, you basically have infinite loading and dumping abilities, and you can dig anywhere around yourself with excellent visibility.
