Before you purchase a compact excavator, you should always consider how simple it is to maintain. Bobcat compact excavators feature the largest engine access doors and smarter engine layouts, making it easy for technicians to reach key parts for servicing. This is called panoramic serviceability. See how they compare to other brands when it comes to reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Bobcat compact (mini) excavators have the industry’s largest component service access. With a 592 sq. in. access opening, you’ll have plenty of space to perform maintenance. It’s 19 percent larger than Caterpillar, 87 percent larger than John Deere, and 33 percent larger than Kubota. If you consider how difficult it will be to access service components on these other machines, you can only imagine how much time it will take to complete regular maintenance.
