Bobcat E40 Starting MSRP & Current Pricing
Bobcat currently publishes a starting suggested price of $69,905 USD for the E40 or the referenced base configuration.
A manufacturer's suggested starting price is not the same as the final dealer selling price. Configuration, cab or operator-station choices, controls, hydraulics, tires or tracks, attachments, implements, mower deck, freight, setup, taxes and current manufacturer programs can all affect the final transaction.
For conversion-focused equipment shopping, the best next step is to compare the actual machine being quoted with the work it needs to perform rather than shopping from base MSRP alone.
Bobcat of Connecticut's live inventory is the appropriate place to confirm which E40 configurations are currently available. The inventory button on this page uses a Dealer Spike model filter so a shopper can move directly from research to relevant equipment listings without starting another generic inventory search.
Bobcat E40 Specs & Key Performance Numbers
Specifications should be read in context. A number that looks better on paper is only valuable when it improves the work you actually perform. For the E40, buyers should connect the published numbers below to access, transport, attachment or implement needs, material weights, terrain and expected daily utilization.
| Bobcat E40 Specification | Published / Relevant Rating |
|---|---|
| Operating Weight | 9,180 lb. |
| Maximum Dig Depth | 130.4 in. |
| Horsepower | 40.4 hp |
| Overall Width | 72.8 in. |
| Machine Class | 4-ton compact excavator |
What do these E40 specifications mean for a buyer?
Start by identifying the two or three limits that can stop the machine from doing your job. Depending on this equipment category, that may be lifting capacity, digging depth, hydraulic flow, PTO power, deck width, payload, machine width or transport weight. Then compare the exact configuration being quoted, because optional equipment can change weight, capability and price.
Why configuration matters more than a single headline number
Equipment manufacturers do not always publish competing specifications using identical configurations or assumptions. Cab packages, counterweights, tracks, tires, buckets, arms, mower decks and hydraulic packages can change the comparison. A useful purchase decision therefore combines published specifications with a dealer review of the exact unit and intended attachments.
Bobcat E40 Features for New England Jobsites & Properties
Compact excavators are built to combine digging performance with access to jobsites where a larger excavator would be difficult to transport or maneuver.
New England equipment buyers also have to account for seasonality. Jobsites and properties across Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island can move from hot summer conditions to wet shoulder seasons and snow work. Cab comfort, lighting, cold-weather starting, traction, attachment changes and local parts availability can materially affect real-world productivity even when those items are not the first numbers on a specification sheet.
Attachment and implement versatility
One of the core reasons to consider Bobcat equipment is the ability to configure a machine around the work. Before purchase, list the attachments or implements you expect to use now and in the next several years. Confirm mounting compatibility, hydraulic or PTO requirements, lift limits and any required dealer-installed options. This reduces the risk of buying a machine that looks right in the base specification but is undersized or incorrectly configured for the tools that actually generate revenue.
Operator comfort, visibility and daily productivity
A machine that runs for hours at a time should also be evaluated from the operator's seat. Control preference, visibility, seat quality, heating and air conditioning where available, display layout, camera systems and ease of getting in and out can all affect fatigue and efficiency. For owner-operators and fleets alike, these considerations can matter as much as a small difference in a headline capacity figure.
Serviceability and uptime
Routine service access and dealer support deserve a place in the buying decision because downtime can erase the value of a lower purchase price quickly. Buyers should ask how routine filters and checkpoints are accessed, which parts are normally stocked locally, what service coverage is available in their territory and how warranty work is handled.
Bobcat E40 vs. Cat 304 CR, John Deere 35 P-Tier & Kubota KX040-5
Buyers researching the Bobcat E40 may also cross-shop Cat 304 CR, John Deere 35 P-Tier and Kubota KX040-5. These are useful comparison points within the broader market for compact and mini excavators, but model selection should not be reduced to one specification or brand claim.
Bobcat E40 vs. Cat 304 CR
Compare the exact E40 configuration with the exact Cat 304 CR configuration around horsepower, operating weight, maximum dig depth, tail-swing design, auxiliary hydraulics, bucket and arm forces, transport dimensions, cab comfort and dealer support. Pay particular attention to which features are standard, optional or package-dependent. If two machines are quoted at different prices, normalize the equipment first so the comparison reflects equivalent capability rather than different option content.
Bobcat E40 vs. John Deere 35 P-Tier
A comparison with the John Deere 35 P-Tier should include both machine performance and ownership support. Consider how the machine will be transported, who will operate it, which attachments or implements are already in your fleet, what local service response looks like and whether the configuration supports the highest-value work you expect it to perform.
Bobcat E40 vs. Kubota KX040-5
When comparing with the Kubota KX040-5, ask for a job-specific demonstration whenever possible. Published specifications are valuable for narrowing a list, but visibility, control response, attachment changes, ride quality and the way a machine fits an actual site can be easier to judge in person.
What Jobs Is the Bobcat E40 Best For?
Trenching And Utility Installation
The E40 can be evaluated for trenching and utility installation by matching its published power, capacity and dimensions to the materials, terrain and cycle times involved. Contractors should also account for the attachment or implement that will be used most often, because the tool can determine the hydraulic, PTO, lift or traction requirement.
Foundation, Drainage And Landscape Excavation
For foundation, drainage and landscape excavation, consider how often the machine will repeat the task and whether the operator can complete it comfortably and efficiently. Small improvements in cycle time, visibility or attachment changes can compound over hundreds of hours of annual use.
Site Preparation, Grading And Demolition Support
The E40 may also be a strong fit for site preparation, grading and demolition support when equipped correctly. New England buyers should think beyond the first season of ownership and choose a configuration that supports both core revenue-producing work and seasonal applications.
