2024 Bobcat E35 R2 Mini Excavator Walkaround and Features!

[@TKCL]

A huge thank you to all who watch and support the channel. It's because of you we are able to do this.

[@jackweeks8099]

That should be as handy as a shirt pocket! I’m sure y’all will love it!

[@TKCL]

Maybe more handy 😉

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

You’re going to love working that machine!

[@TKCL]

Yes I am, I already put 6 hours on it in two days digging up trees. I know you enjoy yours. This is a dream come true for me. Take care Daniel!

[@georgewindsor4182]

Good Deal Andrew I’m living my 64 year old life through you I had planned on retiring after 36 yrs getting some land and following the dream but my wife is fighting cancer right now but we both really enjoy you and Tiffany’s videos Y’all are our kind of people and you definitely have a gift from God on all you are capable of doing Just wanted to let you know that you never know the impact your videos have on people God Bless you and Tiffany

[@TKCL]

Hang in there! My mother beat stage 4 cancer, there's always hope. We love that you enjoy the content, take care and God bless.

[@360remodeling2]

Congrats on the new machine! I got the e42 a couple years ago and love it! I use it on the property and the first thing I did was unplug that beeping alarm because I got tired of pushing the button!

[@TKCL]

LOL I am getting that alarm asap, I see where it's at. The E42 is perfect, I inquired about one but they discontinued them for the E48. That's the max model I would ever feel comfortable towing.

[@HalfPint5811]

That's ganna be a Huuuuge help with the future pasture fence and maintain. Awesome piece of equipment!! Congrats Yall 💪

[@TKCL]

It's got so many uses, I'm excited. Thanks!

[@silverrussell1978]

one attachment I bought that I am very happy with is a tree stumper and rake from USA Attachments. It is great for clearing underbrush and grabbing brush piles

[@TKCL]

Thanks for sharing

[@ryanzynda5114]

[@TKCL]

Thank you so much!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

DANG I am jealous!!! It was between a skid loader or excavator and the skid loader won for us. Still dream about having an excavator. Excited to see what you all get done with it!

[@TKCL]

I get it! I would love a skid loader, but I can justify an excavator more. We all have different wants and needs. Take care!

[@BibleBikerChurch]

Hello friends, Pastor Fred up here in Rockwood TN. I love watching your videos, knowing I will probably never do the stuff your are doing. HOWEVER!!!! Finally! I used a 2020 model of this unit to re-open a driveway that had been fenced in 20 years before, to remove 18 trees and prep the ground for putting new fruit trees in my orchard! I enjoyed that so much!!! Hope you get it to do what you need, which I don't doubt.... Have a great day!

[@TKCL]

Hello! I just cleared 3 trees yesterday myself. While you have to take it slow with a unit this size, it's very capable. Thanks for stopping by

[@tjt1992]

Great looking machine! I purchased a new Kubota KX 033-4 last summer! Fun machine to operate! You will have fun using it!

[@TKCL]

I looked at that exact machine, those are very popular.

[@tjt1992]

👍🇺🇸

[@thooks1234]

These new Bobcat machines are very, very nice. I rented an E51 and Skidsteer back in early March to fill in my pool. These machines are smooth, balanced, powerful and operate like a dream. I was impressed. I am used to using (well-taken care of) Takeuchi stuff from the local Sunbelt store.

[@TKCL]

I'm very impressed with the overall quality of the machine and blown away by how smooth the hydraulics are.

[@PJ-uv9fr]

Oh my...your toys have gotten bigger and it's so cute LOL! We used to have a JD 70 Midi Ex. and that's what I pre-dug garden with (and anything else I could find an excuse for). They are so much fun and such little workhorses! You're really gonna enjoy that...dang I miss havin equipment to play on. CONGRATS 😎

Well done Andrew! Great overview of the e35. Good point regarding the straight hydraulic fittings. I never knew that.

[@TKCL]

Hello E35 brother from another mother! I see some good points on this machine, I think we made a good choice. Enjoy your "machine"!

[@kevinbrewer2141]

That's a great looking machine. Bobcat excavator is one of my dream machines to own.

[@TKCL]

Thank you Kevin, I have been drooling over one for years. It was time to pull the trigger.

[@LatitudeSky]

Good choice. The dealer being fairly local and reliable matters a LOT. Bobcat is a fine choice and I think you did the smart thing going with a name brand. The Chinese machines are fine for a homeowner doing yard work or whatever. But your property and what you want to do is way beyond that.

[@TKCL]

Agreed and for only a few thousand difference, it was an easy choice.

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

But he did buy Chinese, that’s a doosan.

[@curtisking2962]

So amazing Andrew you guys definitely deserve it. One thing I love about you guys as you don’t take the viewers for granted you always thank us a lot of channels don’t now you can get something like Mike has on outdoors with the Morgans for firewood the big rounds.

[@WhyNot88-]

Congrats man, good to see how far you've come!

[@TKCL]

Appreciate it! So thankful!

[@rdblan2]

I have that same machine I bought a couple years back. It's been flawless. The speaker for that travel alarm is very easy to disconnect! LOL Also, it's very easy to run a quick connect from the battery right out the little speaker slots in the front next to the boom for a solar trickle charger. Tint your windows with some cheap tint and it really helps with the heat in the cab. You'll love it and keep finding things to do with it. I went with a 36 inch mower from Rut Manufacturing for mine.

[@TKCL]

I just found the speaker lol. I'm glad to hear your machine has been reliable, this is the first ever Bobcat machine for me. I've watched several people run the Rut mower, it seems to pair well with the smaller minis. Take care!

With all that equipment you collected you might want to build a dedicated machine shed that is fully enclosed with a dehumidifier in it to prevent rusting.

Maybe in another life. I'm running out of money lol.

having a/c in heavy equipment is the best 😁

[@TKCL]

It's been miserable here this week, I no longer consider bigger machines without a cab. With that said, I still do like a small open station tractor for the trails and woods.

[@jeremiahs45]

Saw your start code. It might end up at my place. 😉. Maybe look at a battery tender for that when not using. Awesome machine btw

[@TKCL]

No need, I play with it every day 🤣

Bobcat is quality equipment! 💪

[@TKCL]

It appears to be, this is my first ever Bobcat equipment.

[@leedavis5306]

You are going to love having a excavator. I have a Johndeere 50 mini ex. I use it way more than my skidsteer. I guess since you talked about the hydraulic bypass, you must be getting a brush or mulcher head. I absolutely love my brush cutter. I can reach over fence line, creek banks, things you can't dream of with skidsteer. Make sure you keep the cab a/c filter changes with the the engine air filter. It will keep you a/c working longer. Congratulations buddy. Enjoy the seat time.

[@TKCL]

Thank you so much, my buddy has a 50g as well. I am going with a rotary cutter and it requires a case drain that I'll be getting installed tomorrow.

[@leedavis5306]

@TKCL that is what I have is the 42" rotary cutter. I have been in commercial and industrial concrete for 30 years. Didn't want to spend the $$ for a mulcher. I go out and do some work with my cutter but mostly for personal. Extra $10k did not seem practical. Can't wait to see all your set up. I still want one of your rocket stoves! I am finally getting my shop cleaned out from finishing our house so since I can buy one of yours, LOL, I'll copy your design. Thank you for awesome content. Lee

[@hrlee1141]

Has Tiffany played with it yet? That looks like so much fun.

[@TKCL]

Not yet, if she wants to try it I'll definitely show her. She's had company over all weekend, the excavator was the least of her worries 🤣

[@billbray8797]

Now you can clean you fence rows and dig a pond for your future cattle.

[@TKCL]

Sure can!

[@dankruger2890]

we have a concrete flatwork and asphalt business and in the past we used a skid steer and hammer for driveway removals and asphalt demo. In Today's World, if we can get a dump trailer next to the Mini Ex we use a Mini for the job and it go's very fast and the job stays CLEAN. The Biggest deal for Me when purchasing are New Mini was making sure there was no emissions and that meant getting a 25HP machine. We already have a 2017 304e2 cat 40.5 hp (9000lbs machine) machine and YES it outperforms are 25hp machine hands down and it's a night and day difference between 40hp and 25hp. Soooo do your research and then do some more research because the Min Ex world is massively different from machine brands to machine HP and options. ended up with a 235

[@TKCL]

As expected there should be a big difference between those machines due to weight and power. There's also a big price difference as well.

[@joshmustian335]

I guess next up is a newer, bigger truck with a big goose neck trailer to haul the tractor and new excavator at the same time.

[@TKCL]

I am going to get an equipment trailer, but a truck is definitely not in my budget right now.

[@dougdavis4439]

Great information and really nice new excavator, Andrew! I'm ready to see you put it to use. Big smile included my friend!

[@TKCL]

I keep thinking back to the barn livestream days when everyone was telling me (and giving) that I need to get one of these. Been dreaming about it for years! We have some really cool projects planned.

[@richardc3208]

Take pictures of all the tags under the hood before you wash/clean them off and enjoy your new equipment

[@jperin001]

Can you dig a pond with that?

[@TKCL]

It's too small in my opinion. You can, but it would take forever.

[@LatitudeSky]

You can, but..... Farmcraft101 dug a pond with his Yanmar 50, only a bit bigger machine than this 35. But he did have a dozer as well. There needs to be a way to do dirt moving.

[@LatitudeSky]

And I have to note, digging a pond with his Yanmar 50 is one reason he got a much larger Case 210 excavator now.

[@GaHullbillyRanch]

Congratulations Andrew, will it fot/haul in your dump trailer?

[@TKCL]

Yes it will easily fit in my dump trailer, that's one reason I wanted this size.

[@TheCompactHomestead]

Do they have like a 36 inch drum mulcher for this machine?

[@TKCL]

Mulchers need higher flow. I did run this on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZCuamNqpZaNfrs

[@TheCompactHomestead]

@@TKCL Cool, great info!

[@LearningToLiveTexasHomestead]

immediately thought of this when you said no key. I hope that touchscreen doesn't stop working and the bluetooth has an app for your phone

[@TKCL]

In all honesty, every machine nowadays has electronics and computers. We all trust it to work one way or another. Fingers crossed! 🤞

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I think this is just about the perfect size. I like the bigger models, but they’re just too hard to transport and get ridiculously expensive. This you could actually get on a trailer and probably in your dump trailer and take it over to your dad’s or wherever you needed to go but it still big enough to get the job done not be too bouncy like the smaller ones. I was dreaming and looking at these and the Kabota KX 40 and in that size range, trying to keep it around nine or 10,000 pounds so it was still pretty easy to Trailer without getting into a CDL and all that hassle. I think it’s just a perfect option for somebody who’s not in the construction industry or using it professionally. even a lot of professionals will try to stay in that range just because it’s more reasonable to deal with. I think it’s a great choice.

[@TKCL]

I agree! I could go one size up, but it starts taxing my trailer and truck. This one should be very capable.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

@@TKCL yep, plus if you’re gonna put attachments in there and it gets kicked up with mud, it can get pretty heavy.

[@mgmmac36]

are you able to attach your Baumalight MP360 brush mulcher to this Bobcat?

[@TKCL]

No, it requires a pto shaft from a tractor. They do make a smaller mulcher for this.

You should really look.into the Baumalight attachment for your Bobcat. No looking over your shoulder. No neck/shoulder pain. Tracks instead of wheels. Big plusses.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

Do you still have a use for your John Deere backhoe attachment after getting this?

[@TKCL]

I don't have one for my John Deere, there is a small one on the 24HP Solis. It will still have use when traveling. Some jobs will need a tractor and backhoe at the same time. The Solis is also a demo unit on loan, I don't own it. Although I would like to!
