Bobcat E35 at a glance
Zero tail swing in the standard build
Bobcat lists 0 in of tail swing overhang for the standard E35, so the back of the machine stays inside the track width as the upper structure turns. That helps next to a wall, a fence or traffic. The long-arm and extendable-arm versions are listed with 3.2 in of overhang.
Three arm options
Standard arm, long arm or extendable arm, with maximum dig depths of 121.2 in, 133 in and 153.2 in. The longer arms add 703 lb and 931 lb of operating weight.
24.8 hp and 7,284 lbf of bucket force
Bobcat lists a 24.8 hp engine, 7,284 lbf of bucket digging force on all three arms, and up to 4,690 lbf of arm digging force with the standard arm.
Auxiliary hydraulics standard
Auxiliary hydraulics come standard, rated at 16.9 gpm and 2,987 psi for hydraulic attachments.

How deep can a Bobcat E35 dig?
With the standard arm, the E35 digs 121.2 in, which is 10 ft 1.2 in. The long arm adds 11.8 in, and the extendable arm adds 32 in over the standard arm.
- Standard arm: 10 ft 1.2 in deep, 17 ft 0.3 in reach at ground level.
- Long arm: 11 ft 1 in deep, 17 ft 11.8 in reach.
- Extendable arm: 12 ft 9.2 in deep, 19 ft 7.1 in reach.
Max dig depth is the lowest point the bucket can reach. A trench with a flat bottom and straight walls usually comes out a little shallower, so leave some margin when you choose a machine. To estimate how much soil a dig will produce, use our Dirt Calculator.
Standard, long arm or extendable arm?
The three versions share the same engine, width and bucket force. They differ in depth, reach, weight, arm force and tail swing.
- Standard arm: the lightest at 7,659 lb, the highest arm digging force at 4,690 lbf, and the only version listed with 0 in of tail swing overhang.
- Long arm: 11.8 in more dig depth for 703 lb more weight. Arm digging force drops to 4,074 lbf, the lowest of the three.
- Extendable arm: 32 in more dig depth and 30.8 in more reach for 931 lb more weight, with 4,592 lbf of arm force. It can be run retracted for close work or extended for depth and reach.
If most of your work is close to a house, a fence line or a road, the standard arm keeps full zero tail swing. If you need depth or reach more than tight clearance, compare the long and extendable arms. Any trench 5 ft or deeper needs a protective system under OSHA’s excavation rule, 29 CFR 1926.652, unless it is made entirely in stable rock.
How much does a Bobcat E35 weigh to haul?
Divide the operating weight by 2,000 to get US tons. Add the weight of any buckets or attachments you carry separately, then check the trailer’s rated capacity and your truck’s towing and combined weight ratings.
- Standard arm: 7,659 lb ÷ 2,000 = 3.83 tons.
- Long arm: 8,362 lb ÷ 2,000 = 4.18 tons.
- Extendable arm: 8,590 lb ÷ 2,000 = 4.30 tons.
- Deck space: the transport length is about 190 in (15 ft 10 in) and the width is 69.7 in, before tie-down room.
