Here's a Genius idea. Why not allow people with Caterpillar attachments run them on their Bobcat Skid Steer Loader? This adapter does just that. Just plug one end into your Bobcat Loader and plug the other into your attachment equipped with an 8 pin connector. Turn on your machine and get to work. This is another Genius product. The best ideas at the best prices.
Please read this and understand. This adapter is for older Bobcat machines or newer machines who have added a 14 pin kit. 100% of newer machines do not have 14 pin. They use CAN signal 7 pin connections. This product will not work. You will need to buy one of our 7 pin kits found here. CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE OUR 7 PIN CONTROLLERS
Note: Also works with Kubota, New Holland, Case, Gehl, JCB/Volvo, Takeuchi & Yanmar loaders.
For attachments, you must verify that it is an 8 pin style connector. It does not matter if there are less sockets. Count the positions, not the installed sockets. If it is a CAT attachment, they made them with 8 and 14 pin styles so you must verify or you will order the wrong thing and it won't work.
Note: Bobcat 14 Pin outputs 6 switched ports. Caterpillar/ASV/Terex only outputs 4 ports. You will notice that this adapter has 5 pins installed. Up/Down & Left/Right are all that is available. This is a manufacturer limitation and not something that we have introduced.
ASV Users: PLEASE READ - The 8 pin side of this product was designed for Caterpillar ABC Series attachments which use Pins ABCDEH. To use this on ASV Attachments you will need to move Pin H to G for full operation. We supply the tools in the kit and instructions are in our Video section of the web site.
