• Versatile attachment ecosystem: Excavators like the E35I are commonly paired with buckets and job-specific tools. If your work requires a hydraulic thumb or other specialized attachment, ask our team about current availability; this listing does not indicate a hydraulic thumb is included.
• Tested and inspected: NLEQ’s listing standards focus on accuracy and reliability. Knowing that the machine has been vetted prior to sale reduces risk and helps speed up your decision timeline.

Ownership Value

Buying a used excavator is ultimately about dependable performance and predictable operating costs. This 2017 Bobcat E35I balances those priorities with brand credibility, a straightforward diesel powertrain, and a crawler platform that helps protect productivity across varied ground conditions. The result is an asset that can be deployed quickly and maintained sustainably, allowing you to capture more work and shorten project timelines without the cost footprint of a new machine.

Resale value is another practical consideration. Bobcat machines often hold their value in the pre-owned market, supported by broad parts networks and service familiarity. With its reasonable hours and documented inspection process at NLEQ, this E35I presents a compelling case for both work utility today and resale potential down the road, assuming continued proper maintenance and operation.

The combination of 2017 model year status, 1,785 hours, and Bobcat lineage makes this unit particularly attractive for contractors seeking a proven excavator they can put to work quickly. The diesel engine supports day-in, day-out productivity, and the crawler drive translates that power into control and stability. For buyers who value verified condition and fair pricing, this E35I stands out.

Add in the fact that it has been thoughtfully inspected prior to listing, and you gain an additional layer of assurance. It is the kind of machine that slots into a fleet with minimal ramp-up, enabling crews to stay on pace and meet schedule demands.
