NEW! Bobcat® 430 ZHS Compact Excavator
Improve your swing.
i
With Zero House Swing, both the front and rear ends of the Bobcat 430 stay within
the machine's width, so there's less chance of striking objects during operation.
The Fast Track" drive system is hydrostatic, like a skid-steer-twice as fast as
any other excavator brand! The 430 gives you unmatched travel speed, smooth
maneuverability and faster cycle times. Why didn't anybody think of this before?
5 mph travel speed • Zero House Swing • Zero Tail Swing
10 ft. digging depth •Maneuverable in tight spaces* Easy serviceability
