I’ve rented an E35 a bunch of times and an E42 once. Thanks for reviewing - it gives some perspective. I am mostly taking down trees and clearing, so I really liked the power of the E42. But the E35 does hit a sweet spot for power versus size versus cost.
You got this for around $50k? In which area? That sounds like a very good deal. I’m getting quotes around $68k for cab unit with AC, angle blade, 2 buckets and quick attach system
$77k with a smooth bucket, wide tracks, cab, HVAC, convenience package and maybe a few other small options. Inventory at our local dealership has since replenished but I’ve seen other guys paying more for the same machine. I’m sure others have also paid less. Depends on competition and location.
I’d be interested to learn what equipment prices have increased to over the past year and a half. If you end up buying you should check back in with current costs. We financed our E35 at 0% for 60 months. We purchased a T66 a couple months ago at 2.9%.
Thinking of renting this same machine from my local big box store for a week to dig up some rocks on my property. Looks like the perfect machine. Never operated one but I think I’ll give it a shot. No tight quarters so hopefully I manage it ok. Thanks for sharing your video
I have the same machine but 2015 and it's the e35i. You can use spotify with the radio if you want to listen to your music on the radio speakers too. Just needs an audio cable and plugs right into the radio on the bottom right corner.
WOW! 1,800 foot trench. that's consistent for sure! I can't comment on your BOBCAT as I'm not qualified to do so. That would be up to the USER/OWNER on how their machine meets expectations. That said, though seems to be well thought out and I like how you bought it with adding accessories right from the jump. I think it ends up being cheaper that way rather than to add later. Nice review (and picking up those blocks!) Sonny

How much fuel does it consume per hour? And does it vary pending on how high or low the throttle is?
Nice review man! That is a great size machine. I use to rent a 35 all the time before I bought my 260

It’s called inflation. Purchased in Spring of 2021. We just bought a T66 and paid inflation prices for it…
@@ThriftyGarage what did you pay for the T66? I’m also in market for one

Excellent review and thank you for mentioning the price and payment! I’m shopping and this seems perfect for my property maintenance business

Good luck! Be safe and have fun.

Yes, I have used the audio jack but you can’t charge the phone at the same time.
@@ThriftyGarage there is a 12v port above the radio, you just need a 12v to USB adapter!
Nice machine! The e35 is a great size machine! It’s small enough to get in tight working areas and strong enough to really do some WORK!

Thanks Sonny!
I bought the same machine a year ago for personal use on my 65 acres. I don't know how I made it without it.
Equipment is definitely a game changer.
Great review! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
@@ThriftyGarage your welcome!
Nice
