About · Bobcat E85

Overview

The Bobcat E85 is a midi/mini-excavator with an operating weight of 8610 kg and an engine output of 66 hp. It sits at the upper end of the compact excavator segment, offering a balance of reach and lifting capacity suited to confined or access-restricted sites. As a Bobcat product, it carries the manufacturer's established reputation in the compact equipment category.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Machines in this weight and power class are commonly deployed on utility trenching, drainage installation, landscaping, and building-foundation work where site access limits the use of larger equipment. The E85 is also well suited to road and pavement works, pipe-laying operations, and general earthmoving tasks on commercial and civil projects. Its size allows operation in urban environments where swing clearance and transport weight are practical constraints.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage, including tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a significant maintenance consideration on any excavator in this class. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for wear and play, and all hydraulic lines and cylinders should be examined for leaks or damage. Engine condition, oil analysis history, and service records are important indicators of remaining service life. Buyers should also verify that all original attachments and quick-coupler systems are present and functional, and confirm that the machine has been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.

Current market

Price position

The European market average for the Bobcat E85 stands at EUR 45440, with a typical price range running from EUR 24080 at the lower end to EUR 64100 for well-specified or lower-hour examples. This positioning places it in direct competition with comparable models from Volvo, specifically the ECR88, and Doosan, specifically the DX85, all of which occupy a similar weight and capability bracket in the used-equipment market. Condition, specification, and age are the primary variables driving price variation within that range.
