The Bobcat E38 is a 3.8‑ton mini excavator built for renters who need more digging power and stability than a compact 3‑ton machine, but still want something easy to haul and maneuver. It’s the ideal balance of size, strength, and versatility for residential, commercial, and farm projects.
Zero‑Tail‑Swing Design — Work confidently next to buildings, fences, and tight spaces without the rear of the machine hitting obstacles.
Strong Digging Performance — Excellent breakout force and smooth hydraulics for trenching, utilities, footings, and general excavation.
Comfortable Operator Station — Intuitive joystick controls, adjustable seating, and great visibility for long workdays.
Attachment‑Ready — Standard auxiliary hydraulics support thumbs, augers, breakers, and more.
