After owning two smaller Chinese excavators I realized the value of having one on the property. I was in need of something just a little bit larger so I decided to purchase the Bobcat e35 r2 series. What a difference the Bobat is vs the other. Very smooth, fit and finish is perfect, and I have a dealer with full time mechanic if needed only 30 minutes away. I will have all kinds of content using this machine around the property. There will be more of these videos to come, so make sure you subscribe so you can follow along. Thanks for watching!

Please, for the love of god, grease the machine every 8 hours or sooner. I work at a very large bobcat dealer. Guy’s get very busy at the work at hand and neglect the machine over time then complain why it takes to long in shop when pins seize up or wear out, sloppy bores. It’s a cheap maintenance item for an expensive machine. E35 is a great machine.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@joelruder2857 i dont hold back on the grease. The mechanic told me to put some wd40 on the xchange pins too to keeps the seals from drying out.

Good luck with your new machine. I rented the same machine a couple years ago from Home Depot. It was a great machine for me. I dug very large boulders some 3’ in diameter and various other sizes. It did an amazing job. I had it for a week and I had a blast. Adding fuel to it with a plastic diesel can was not easy though. Great machine

The you loaded it and said that you wouldn't have enough room if it was facing the other way so you loaded the Excavator with the stick arm and bucket facing towards the front of the trailer and the back of your truck instead of towards the back of the trailer where the ramps are makes sense

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

We have right at 25 of those weight class minis with our company. The Korean bobcats are fairly nice machines but we have had some structural issues with the booms. We stopped purchasing them about two years ago just to many failures and downtime The caterpillars were way out of cost range and you just can't hardly afford to own one outside of warranty. So that left us was just the Kabota KX 57 along with about five of the bigger kx 80's and the Hyundai hx60 Most of our Hyundai Fleet is getting towards the end of their life with our company we try to turn them up when they get above 2500 hours they are excellent machines except seat comfort and not having cupholders etc inside is the only holdback The Kubota are very well thawed out as far as cab comfort and the heating and air here in Texas or you need that air conditioner works great, the bobcat not so much All of the hands that grab a mini always run and get the Kabota in the yard in the morning leaving out early.

ik backup alarms can be annoying but they're on construction and farm equipment for the safety of those who are working around you and i don't know for sure but i think it's a law to have them on at all times and if you disconnect it and someone doesn't.

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

That is one fine machine!!! Yeah I was getting ready to order the KYMRON XH42 until I realized I have a SANY dealer 20 minutes down the road vs 8hrs to Oklahoma. Getting ready to order a SANY SY35U, so comparable to yours only much cheaper. I’d love Bobcat but I gotta keep my wife from leaving me. So it’s 8,500 pounds and will come in at $54,000 with an Agricultural loan. I can get it a few thousand cheaper under a business loan but the interest rate would be more. 5 year/5,000 hr warranty and they’ll drive 300 miles to fix your machine on site at no charge, no trip fee. Nothing. So can’t beat that. It definitely has a better interface than the Kymron machine, has a switch on the blade joy stick for the thumb like yours and the interface allows you to adjust flow settings for different attachments, and you can change from ISO to SAE. Also had a much beefier thumb that pivots at the bucket and not up on the stick. So those were all features the KYMRON didn’t have and I think worth the extra $166 a month. Especially if something breaks. Now I haven’t applied for the loan so this is all estimates. If the SANY doesn’t go through, the KYMRON XH42 will be the next choice. I’ll defiantly be beefing up the thumb if I go that route. Anyways. Beautiful machine. I wish a Bobcat was in my budget. Maybe down the road if I make some $$$ with this thing.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

The Sanys are nice. I only paid another thousand more than your quote for the sany. The rebates they were offering were great. My other KZbin buddy bought an e35 too. He quoted a Sany and ended up getting the e35 for the same price with all the rebates. Mine was 56k

[@survivalguyfyi5718]
