Contractor’s needing to purchase an entry-level compact excavator with conventional tail swing should look no further than the new 329 from Bobcat Co., West Fargo, N.D. The 329’s conventional tail swing provides excellent lifting ability, while the compact excavator offers a maximum reach of 16 ft at ground level. The turf-friendly rubber tracks distribute the operating weight of the 7,098-lb excavator over a larger area to lower ground pressure to 4.2 psi and minimize damage to landscapes, paving stones and other established areas.
