Intro: The Bobcat E26 is a 2.6-ton compact excavator built for real digging in tight, hard-to-reach spaces. Its minimal-tail-swing design and exclusive in-track swing frame let you work close to walls, fences, and foundations while leaving behind minimal ground disturbance. Powered by a Kubota diesel with robust hydraulics and strong breakout force, the E26 handles trenching, landscaping, utility work, and foundation prep across North Dakota, all in a package that's easy to trailer between jobsites. Rent it from our Jamestown location by the day, week, or month.
When space is tight, the E26's minimal-tail-swing design keeps rear overhang to a minimum so you can dig close to structures, fences, and landscaping without clipping obstacles. Bobcat's exclusive in-track swing frame keeps the swing castings and cylinders within the tracks during offset digging, letting you cut trenches right alongside a wall or foundation. Combined with excellent flotation and a dual-flange track roller system, the E26 maneuvers established lawns and crowded sites while protecting sensitive surfaces.

Don't let the compact size fool you. The E26 pairs a strong Kubota diesel with robust hydraulics and hefty cylinders to deliver powerful breakout forces for compacted soil, clay, and mixed material. Available with a long arm for added reach and dig depth, it takes on trenching, grading, backfilling, and utility work that outgrows a micro machine. The dual-flange track roller system also improves over-the-side digging and ride quality, so you stay stable and productive through a full workday.
One rental machine, many jobs. With its quick coupler and auxiliary hydraulics, the E26 runs trenching and grading buckets, augers, hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, and more within its size class. Two-speed travel with auto-shift moves you around the site faster, while blade float makes backfilling and final grading clean and simple. Every unit in our Jamestown fleet is low-hour and fully inspected before it leaves the yard, and our factory-trained team helps you match the right machine and attachments to your job, with flexible daily, weekly, and monthly terms.
