New Holland Hydraulic Excavator E130 to E485: from B-generation to C-generation crawler excavators, 60 to 344 kW, 12.8 to 79 t operating weight, Tier 4 Final without a particulate filter
New Holland Construction builds its crawler excavators with Japan's Kobelco, which is why the line is often labeled New Holland Kobelco. The "New Holland Hydraulic Excavator" bucket here groups 35 live-listed E-Series models, from the compact E130 up to the large E485.

The number after the E corresponds roughly to size class and operating weight: across all 35 models, operating weight ranges from 12,800 to 79,000 kg, with engine output from 60 to 344 kW. The letter after it marks the generation – the B-Series was followed by the C-Series, which the manufacturer states delivers roughly 5% more power. Suffixes like SR (Short Reach, a shorter tail swing for confined sites) mark further variants.
Tier 4 Final emissions standards marked a turning point: newer models meet it via cooled exhaust gas recirculation and a diesel oxidation catalyst, without a particulate filter. Displacement (3,900 to 15,600 cm³) and cylinder count (4 to 6) are recorded for over 30 models, torque (390 to 998 Nm) for 16.
Buying used, pay attention to boom and dipper bushings, undercarriage track condition, and the tightness of the main and swing pumps. Models such as E130, E175, E215 and E385 appear regularly in the listed inventory – but the trailing number alone says nothing about build year; that's what the serial plate is for.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
