The Bobcat E17 is a compact mini-excavator produced between 2014 and 2021, sitting in the sub-2-tonne weight class with an operating weight of 1749 kg. It is powered by a 15 hp engine and carries a bucket capacity of 0.04 cubic metres. These specifications position it firmly in the entry-level mini-excavator segment, suited to operators who require a machine with a small physical footprint and modest digging capacity.
Mini-excavators in this weight class are commonly deployed on residential construction sites, landscaping projects, and utility trenching work where access is restricted and ground disturbance must be minimised. Their compact dimensions allow operation inside buildings, in walled gardens, and along narrow urban corridors where larger machines cannot reach. Rental fleets also use machines of this type extensively for short-duration hire to contractors and private clients.
When inspecting a used Bobcat E17 or any machine of this class, buyers should assess the condition of the undercarriage, including rubber tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these are high-wear components on compact excavators. The boom, dipper, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for excessive play, and all hydraulic hoses and cylinders should be inspected for leaks or signs of repair. Service history documentation is a reliable indicator of maintenance quality, and a functional test of all hydraulic circuits, the slew ring, and the blade should be conducted before purchase.
In the European used market, the Bobcat E17 carries an average asking price of EUR 15,888, with a typical transaction range running from EUR 13,900 to EUR 17,200. This positions it alongside comparable sub-2-tonne competitors including the JCB 16C-1 and the Takeuchi TB216, all of which compete for similar buyer profiles in the light excavation segment. Buyers should expect price variation within that range depending on year of manufacture, hours of use, and equipment specification.
