Performance

• DUAL-FLANGE ROLLER SYSTEM: Dig with confidence over the side of the machine and experience greater slewing ability thanks to the dual flange track rollers. Operators will also notice smoother, more comfortable ride quality while moving across bumpy jobsites.
• INTEGRATED LIFT EYE: The integrated lift eye, standard on R2-Series excavators, gives you a convenient method for handling objects or moving items in and out of the trench.
• REDESIGNED BOBCAT ENGINE: Redesigned for reduced and simplified routine maintenance, the Bobcat® engine on R2-Series excavators delivers the performance you expect. The innovative fuel system, which is more forgiving when fuel levels are low, keeps you working longer. Improved cold-weather operation keeps you productive.
• DEPTH CHECK SYSTEM: Achieve an accurate grade every time without leaving your cab by using the Bobcat® depth check system. Efficient and easy to use, the system delivers accurate dig depth measurement for precise digging performance. It eliminates over-digging and the costs associated with backfilling and compacting fill material. It also prevents under-digging and the resulting need for manual labor to finalize depth or grade.
• BLADE FLOAT: Simplify grading and leveling. Blade float exerts a minimal, consistent down-force on the blade, with minimal operator input.

Serviceability

• LONGER-LIFE FUEL FILTER: Larger fuel filters in R2-Series excavators provide better system protection and longer life before replacement. With more than double the media surface area, it has more holding capacity to capture impurities for longer intervals. The filter is also easier to change and includes a clear water bowl for easy monitoring and a sensor to notify you when draining is needed.
• INCREASED ENGINE OIL SERVICE INTERVALS: The recommended engine oil service interval has increased from 500 to 750 hours, giving you more uptime per oil change.

Uptime Protection

• SIMPLE MACHINE TIE-DOWN: Get on and off the jobsite faster. Secure your load quickly, without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs.
