THE X-CAT IS FINALLY HERE!!
It took us 5 years and a couple of engineering firms as well as over $100,000 to engineer properly but it's finally here. They are limited in supply and will need to be pinned for each carrier machine so we are limiting them until we see how people are using them.
What does it do??
You can convert 12 volt switches to output CanBus commands that will work with Bobcat attachments. Imagine plugging into the 14 pin connector on your Kubota, Cat, Kobelco, Takeuchi, New Holland and other skid loaders that are 14 pin compatible and then running 7 pin compatible Bobcat attachments. You will no longer be stuck with one machine manufacturer. I specifically took on this project because I was planning on ridding myself of my Bobcat machines and buying a new Kubota but I have Bobcat attachments. Yes, I can make a harness and use it, but I knew there are a lot of people that are switching and they want to be able keep their attachments in tact or they may keep a few Bobcat machines around so they want to swap back and forth. This is the answer and once again it is pure GENIUS! If you can plug a socket into a receptacle, then you can manage this adapter.
Consider This: If you are a dealer of any machine besides Bobcat, you can now bid your machines against theirs and claim to be 7 pin compatible for their attachments. This is huge because Bobcat holds onto these bids and locks everyone out because customers do not want to convert their attachments over. Now they don't have to.
Details:
Takes about 1 minute to install. Is 100% plug and play. This configuration is for plug mount so you can use it over and over on any machine and attachment that has one - six solenoids to control. This is complete and ready for plug and play directly into any Bobcat® branded attachment*. It has an indicator LED to show you that you have power and that it is receiving commands from the skid loader and is transmitting them to the Bobcat® attachment.
What is included:
- X-Cat Controller with up to 6 output controls. More being added soon.
- 14 Pin Compatible for most manufacturers except John Deere prior to 2020 without a power pin.
- Easy to Follow Instructions
- Incredible factory support that is not available anywhere but from Genius.
This is not just a plug in adapter. There is a microprocessor with software loaded along with a IC driver circuit that enables this to work. That is why it costs more than just a plain old connector.
How does it work?
It senses when you touch a button control and knows which button you push. It sends a corresponding signal using CanBus technology out of the 7 pin plug into your attachment. Your Bobcat attachment will think that it is connected to a Bobcat loader and work accordingly.
Attachment Compatability:
Bobcat 96/108" Grader - Not Yest - We are working on a work around.
Bobcat Chipper. No.
Bobcat Concrete Pump - No
Tree Spade, however we would love some to help us test one
IT DOES WORK WITH THE FOLLOWING ATTACHMENTS:
Rotary Broom, Soil Conditioner, Bob-tach mounted mini backhoe, Box Blade, Cold Planer, Snow Blower, V-Plow, Stump Grinder, Wheel Saw, Bobcat 84" Grader with not lasers
Machine Compatability: Subject to your machine being fully equipped with enough controls. This product does not add controls to your machine. It uses your existing controls to create a digital signal that the attachment recognizes.
Cat D Series - Part #SG-X-CAT-CT- Specially pinned for CAT to match Bobcat Controls as close as we can get them. Ypu need to use Aux 8 for power so you will only have a maximum of 5 functions. 255/265 will need to move a pin to add the 6th function.
John Deere - Part #SG-X-CAT-JD - Specially pinned for JD to match Bobcat Controls as close as we can get them. Only available for 2020 and newer machines with a Pin K power pin.
Case - Part #SG-X-CAT-CS - Must have enough controls installed for your requirements.
Kubota - Part #SG-X-CAT-BC - Older than 2018 and you only get two controls. 2018 and above your machines could have up to 7 controls.
