Performance

Powerful digging with precise control

Stability

All four E Series models feature excellent stability while maintaining the compact radius design. This increased stability leads to more productivity and versatility through the use of heavier work tools and the optional long stick.

Fast, Powerful Digging with Load Sensing Hydraulics

High digging forces and fast cycle times deliver the productivity that your job demands. Load sensing hydraulics optimize low for smooth, powerful performance and increased fuel eficiency.

200 Degree Bucket Rotation

Industry leading bucket rotation of over 200 degrees provides greater material retention during truck loading.

It also allows for easier vertical wall digging without having to reposition the machine.

Engine

High performance power train provides optimized engine horsepower and strong performance

Automatic engine idle automatically lowers engine revolutions when not in use to conserve fuel and lower environmental noise and emissions.

Automatic Two Speed

With the standard automatic two speed feature, the machine will automatically balance high speed and torque travel requirements based on the conditions to give the operator the optimum speed and control. The machine can be put in low gear if slower travel is desired while in tight conditions.
