2023 Bobcat E42 R2 Mini Excavator...First Look

I just bought a brand-new carry over 2023 Bobcat E42 excavator. It has almost all the features you can get on one. It is exactly the same as the 2024 Bobcat E48 excavator just with different stickers.

Im looking to purchase an e48 with the angle blade. Is that as high as the blade will go? I was goin to load it on a dovetail but now not sure if i can make the ramp looking at how low to the ground the blade is. Thanks for the info

No, I had it barely off the ground. The blade fully up is 16” above the ground. The front of the blade is 38” in front of the track, so depending on how steep your ramps are you might have to pick yourself up to get on your trailer. The angle blade really makes it stick way out in front of you. Hope that helps.

What is the pricing on this model setup like this?

[@gaining_ground]

The invoice price was $99,900 before factory and dealer incentives. Since incentives vary from month to month, you can probably ballpark 15-20% off.
