2026 New Holland Construction E42D

D Series mini excavators from New Holland Construction are built in-house and are designed for an improved operator experience, performance and jobsite efficiency. The E42D is a more capable, versatile machine tailored for construction crews, landscapers, utility contractors and municipalities looking to do more with a compact framework. 

Features May Include:

MINI EXCAVATOR, BIG POWER

The E42D is powered by a 43.3 hp (32.3 kW) Stage V-certified Kubota D1803 engine, known for durability, low emissions and fuel-saving features like Eco Mode, auto idle and a reversible cooling fan to keep radiators clear and engines running at optimal temperatures. This power is housed in a compact and easily transportable package, measuring 8 ft 3 in (2510 mm) in height and 17 ft 5 in (5300 mm) in overall transport length. 

ARMED TO DIG

Specify your D Series compact excavator with the arm length to best suit your requirements. Length on the E42D standard digging arm measures up to 4 ft 7 in (1.4 m) and 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) with the long arm. 

The standard arm yields 10 ft 1 in (3085 mm) of maximum digging depth and gets a maximum 10 ft 11 in (3335 mm) below surface with the long arm. With all this muscle, plus 4946 lbf (22 kN) of standard arm digging force, the E42D will quickly become your partner in productivity.

DESIGNED TO DUMP

The standard arm on the E42D provides a maximum 12 ft 0 in (3660 mm) of dump height and 9667 lbf (43 kN) in bucket breakout force. If your operation requires a greater dump height, opt for the optional long arm that gets up to 12 ft 6 in (3820 mm) in maximum dump height.

ATTACHMENTS FOR DEDICATED EFFICIENCY

Powering demanding attachments is a key New Holland advantage.With the right attachment, New Holland's excavators can be used for a diverse range of jobs from fence installation to concrete breaking.The E42D arrives ready to run a wide array of attachments like hydraulic hammers, compaction plates, grapples and mulchers. Models are available with factory-installed couplers, buckets and thumbs.

DESIGNED FOR AND AROUND YOU

The E42D is available with a ROPS/FOPS canopy or a fully enclosed cab. Both configurations are packed with comfort and safety features. In the cab, operators will find a fabric pneumatic suspension seat with automatic weight control, height-adjustable armrests, manual or automatic climate control; plus, six directional vents and intuitive joystick-mounted controls that move with the seat for smoother, more precise operation over uneven terrain.  

Additional cab features include a sliding right-side window, overhead-opening front window, radio and speakers, rearview mirrors, front wiper/washer, USB and 12V charging ports and bottle holder. A seven-inch color LCD display provides a view to the back of the unit through the integrated rear view camera, real-time feedback on coolant and hydraulic oil temperatures, fuel levels, engine RPM, machine hours and DPF regeneration status. Safety-focused details include a control cut-out lever, manual/auto idle settings, RPM hand dial, a 2-inch seat belt, emergency exit hammer and keyed locks common to the ignition.

SIMPLE SERVICEABILITY

For contractors and operators, serviceability is a key component to weigh when considering mini excavators. The E42D includes a tipping cab/canopy for full engine access, as well as three large side and rear panels that offer fast access to key service points. Just two bolts need to be removed to tip the cab.
