New E42 delivered today.

Took delivery today and had to dig out a stump with the ripper just to try it out. Worked great! There are lots of things that are in danger of being ripped out of the ground....

Nice Rugged Digging Machine there, looks like that ripper tooth is going to be quite handy. Congratulations on the new Bobcat.

Doosan or Kubota engine?

ovrszd · May 11, 2016

Wish there was someway I could justify one!!!! Congrats on a great machine. Keep us posted on your adventures!!!

Thanks guys. Got a another hour or so on it tonight. Really am liking the machine!

As far as price goes, it was north of 62k, but I got a lot of options, 2 buckets and the ripper. Price was too close to a low hour used plus I got a three year/2000 hour warranty that made it a no-brainier.

I looked at the Kubota but decided to stay away, no 40 minute regen or DPF on the Doosan engine. I went to demo the Kubota in the winter and the mechanic couldn't stop it from trying to Regen. He had to actually bring it in out of the cold so it could finish. I didn't want to deal with that.

I started on a couple of stumps that are close together. This should be interesting........

I was asking what engine was in your machine. Bobcat offered both. The Kubota engine in Bobcat was only tier 3. No DPF. The Doosan engine is holding up pretty good so far. I have had little customer problems. Had a few injectors fail but that was due to water and bad fuel.
