    Bobcat E50

    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...
