Here is our brand new Bobcat E50. We absolutely love this machine. Bobcat has done a great job with this M-Series excavator. The machine has a TON of power. Yesterday we set a 7” thick, 12’ x 4’ slab of granite that weighed about 5000lbs. with the machine no problem. Which, for a mini I think is quite amazing, our A300 couldn’t even pick it up. The enclosed cab is great, it’s the first machine we have bought with a cab. I do have to say it is not a roomy as the Yanmarr we demoed but it is extremely comfortable. It’s been 97 degrees here for the past 2 days so the A/C is nice!:D We also ordered a 52” grading bucket and Bobcats “Hydro Tilt” wrist attachment for it but they haven’t arrived yet. Here are a few pictures and a YouTube walk around video I did. I also have a few videos of it in action and I will try to upload them in the next few days. If you want to see pictures of anything specific let me know and I’ll do my best to get them for you. Enjoy!

Just a bit off topic, but your company website is very nice and well presented. Looks like some nice projects the company has done.

The 52" grading bucket and the hydro tilt came in today. I only got to try it out for a few minutes but here are a few pictures.

Looks great and I would love to have a tilt, but not practical on my machine. One question though. The reinforcements in the bucket are there for strength but I wonder if they are prone to having clay soil sticking in the bucket because of them?

Tom,

Just curious if your web site brings in business or is it from refferals or other forms of advertising? By the way nice web site!

I would think clay would stick, but there is very, very little clay in NH, mostly sandy loam material so i don't think it will be a problem for us. But for people in other parts of the world it might be a problem.

Thank you! The website brings in some business on its own but we get 95% of our business from referrals. We don't do any advertising of any kind except for three, weekend long, home shows in the winter.
