Skid Steer Electric Plug Needed To Run A Hammerhead Grapple Saw

We get asked all the time, "can I use my auxillary electrical control plug to operate your grapple saw?".  Here's a breif explanation of each skid steer auxillary electrical control plugs:

8 Pin Plug - CAT & ASV/Terex
These plugs provide 12 volt DC current to the attachment so you can run attachments with 12v solonoids. ​

14 Pin Plug - Some Bobcats, Gehl, John Deere, Kubota, Mustang, New Holland and Takeuchi
These plugs provide 12 volt DC current to the attachment so you can run attachments with 12v solonoids. ​

7 Pin Plug - Bobcat
Since about 2000, Bobcat has used a 7 Pin plug that uses a CAN-BUS (digital) signal to control their attachments.  This plug will not work with non-Bobcat brand attachments that have any sort of 12v soloniod valves.  Bobcat offers a 14 pin plug option that can be added to your 7 pin machine and runs around $1,000.  Another option is to get a 7 pin adapter cable which runs about $350 - $750 depending on how many functions you require.  This cable will allw you to run standard 12v DC solonoids with your Bobcat 7 pin plug.  Please contact us for more information on these adapter cables.
