Bobcat E35 engine question

t1kilo · Jul 9, 2025

I'm looking at purchasing a Bobcat E35 Mini-ex in the coming weeks from a buddy of mine. It's a 2016 model with the 33 HP engine. The engine is tier 4 compliant, but for the life of me, I can't figure out if it has a DPF or not. I know that it doesn't use DEF, so that's a positive. I looked over the engine, and I can't see anything in the exhaust system that has wiring running to it, so it leads me to believe that there is no DPF. The engine is a Kubota D1703-M-D1-E4B from what I've been able to pull from my internet searches and conversations with AI.

Does any of you have this machine, or another one with the same engine, that can give me a little more information about the emissions and what to expect? I would really appreciate it.

Does it have a dpf and need to regen periodically?

Probably late for this but I am purchasing a new 2023 E35 no def or dpf however the engine is only 34.5 HP not the 33HP which may make a difference. Did you purchase it and if so are you happy with it?

I have a E35 Bought it in 2025 new.. Its a really nice machine.. But I came from a KX121.... That machine was noticeably stronger.. Just couldn't run a mower properly without the open valve.
