    Which buckets do I need for my Bobcat E50?

    I have a four foot or larger smooth lipped clean out bucket which I use most of the time, and a 24 inch toothed bucket...I really don`t care for the long teeth, but it handles it well..Frankly a 18 inch would be more handy for digging trenches....Tony

    E45 Falls way short of capability

    I think most of our problems stem from a poor dealership...I have an e 50, and finally have the problems worked out, with another dealership....A two foot bucket, is just a little too large--I have one also--but my machine is a bit bigger.... Maybe the dealer would let you exchange the bucket...

    minimum excavator size for rotary mower

    I have an e50 bobcat, with a bush hog type mower....It is a bit of a dangerous setup, without an enclosed cab...With the boom extended all the way, it barely does not tip, so you can easily tip it if you drop the dipper arm too quickly....a rotary mower would be safer, I would think, but still...
