E50 Key Features

What Makes the E50 Different

49.7 HP Redesigned Bobcat Engine

The E50 is powered by a 49.7-horsepower, redesigned Bobcat engine paired with an improved cooling system that enhances performance, serviceability and component life. Fast cycle times keep this R2-Series excavator productive through long days of digging and loading.

Strong Digging & Lifting Performance

With 9,511 lbf of bucket digging force, 6,987 lbf of arm digging force and 11.4 ft of dig depth on the standard arm, the E50 handles trenching, footings and heavy loading with confidence. A 13 ft maximum dump height makes it easy to load trucks and dumpsters.

Minimal Tail Swing & Deep Reach

Less than one inch of tail swing overhang (0.6 in) lets the E50 work close to walls, foundations and other obstacles in tight areas, while 19.4 ft of reach at ground level and 75 degrees of boom swing to the left and 50 degrees to the right let operators dig farther with fewer repositioning moves.

Selectable Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow

Standard auxiliary hydraulics deliver 20 gpm of flow at 3,045 psi with selectable flow control, and the standard Quick-Tach system speeds up attachment changes so one machine covers a wide range of jobsite tasks.

Precise, Low-Effort Control

Low-effort joysticks respond easily to operator input, and hydraulic control provides better metering, finite movement and controllability on level grading, so operators can work accurately with less fatigue.
