Description
🔄Bobcat attachments on any brand
🔌Plug in and go
🏭Patent pending
📘 Overview
The CAN PRO runs Bobcat CAN attachments on machines that are not Bobcats. It plugs into the 14-pin connector on your loader and converts the machine's 12-volt outputs into the CAN communication language Bobcat attachments expect — so the attachment behaves exactly as it would on a Bobcat machine.
The attachment's own controller stays in place. Older approaches required finding and removing the CAN control box fitted to every Bobcat attachment since 2000, then wiring solenoids directly. The CAN PRO makes that unnecessary — it speaks the machine's side of the conversation instead. Choose your machine brand from the options above and the correct configuration ships.
⚙ Key Features of the CAN PRO Controller
- Configured per machine brand — eight versions covering Gehl/Mustang/Manitou/Wacker/JCB/Volvo, Cat D and Next Gen, Kubota/Case/New Holland, John Deere P series, John Deere G series, SANY, Takeuchi and Yanmar/ASV
- Attachment controller stays fitted — no stripping out the Bobcat control box
- Shift function doubles the controls — four primary controls become eight through the machine's shift key
- Laser grading support — Bobcat BRL2 and LR410 receivers plus Trimble Earthworks GO, subject to controller firmware
- Runs 96-inch and 108-inch Bobcat graders — including all-up and all-down on a two-button press
- Also runs Bobcat tree spades, cold planers, dozers, snow blowers, brooms, soil conditioners and stump grinders
🔑 Why the CAN PRO Changes What Your Machine Can Run
- Buy attachments on merit, not on badge — Bobcat attachments become usable on a Kubota, Deere, Cat or Takeuchi machine
- No attachment modification — the tool still works on a Bobcat afterwards, so resale value is untouched
- Suits mixed fleets and rental — move one attachment between machine brands instead of buying duplicates
- Familiar control layout — controls are remapped to mirror the original Bobcat arrangement

Hydraulic couplers must be swapped on every brand except Bobcat. The flow has to run forward for high-flow features to work — swap the attachment couplers or fit gender-changing couplers. Valve bodies are usually stamped P (A) for pressure and T (B) for tank; the female attachment coupler belongs on the P (A) pressure line. Do this before attempting to operate the CAN PRO.
John Deere machines built before 2020 have no Pin K, so a power pin must be added for the CAN PRO to operate. On Develon and Hyundai machines the Aux 8 circuit occasionally cannot carry the load, in which case the socket moves from J to P using the supplied tool.
❓ CAN PRO Questions, Answered
Do I have to remove the black controller box from my Bobcat attachment?
No — that is the point of the CAN PRO. It converts your machine's outputs into the CAN language the attachment already speaks, so the attachment's own controller stays fitted and the tool is unmodified. Older approaches required stripping that box out and wiring solenoids directly.
Which version do I need?
Select your machine brand from the options. Each version is configured for that brand's control layout and pin arrangement — a Cat version will not work correctly on a Kubota. John Deere is split into P series and G series because the two need different configurations.
Why is the John Deere G series version more expensive?
G-series machines need an additional switch fitted into the back of the 14-pin connector to act as the shift key, which is what makes the 7th, 8th and laser functions available. The G-series version is supplied with that switch kit included.
Do I need to change my hydraulic couplers?
On every brand except Bobcat, yes. The hydraulics must run in the forward direction for high-flow features to operate — either swap the attachment couplers or fit gender-changing couplers. The female attachment coupler goes on the pressure line, usually stamped P or A on the valve body. Do this before trying to operate the CAN PRO.
Will the CAN PRO run a Bobcat grader?
Yes, including 96-inch and 108-inch graders, with all-up and all-down available on a two-button press. Laser grading is supported through Bobcat BRL2 and LR410 receivers and Trimble Earthworks GO, subject to the controller's firmware revision.
How do I get more than four controls?
The shift function doubles them. Holding the shift key and pressing the same primary buttons accesses a second set, giving eight functions from four switches. Which switch acts as shift depends on the machine brand — the J switch on Kubota, Case, New Holland and Takeuchi, the L switch on SANY, and Aux 7 on Cat, Develon and Hyundai.
My John Deere is older — is there anything extra?
John Deere machines built before 2020 do not have Pin K fitted, so a power pin must be added for the CAN PRO to operate. Machines from 2020 onward have it as standard.
Do I need a high flow jumper?
If your attachments are high-flow rated, yes. A jumper inside the 14-pin connector activates the machine's high-flow circuit — it goes into position K on XPS machines and position N on XE and XHP machines. Note that not all attachments are rated for super-flow pressures, so check the attachment rating first.
Will Cat SMART attachment controls work through it?
No. On Caterpillar machines the Aux 9 through 12 controls are CAN-based and reserved for Cat SMART attachments. The CAN PRO works with the analog outputs — Aux 3, 4, 5 and 6 — using Aux 7 as the shift key. Aux 8 must be switched on to power the controller.
What software revision do I need for laser control?
Laser receiver support requires Rev C software or above on the controller. That covers the Bobcat BRL2 and LR410 receivers and Trimble Earthworks GO. If laser grading is the reason for your purchase, email us at support@eskidsteer.com or click the chat icon on any page before ordering so we can confirm the revision supplied.
How do I tell which connector my machine has?
Count the positions, including the empty ones — not the pins that happen to be fitted. Manufacturers routinely populate fewer positions than the housing supports, so a connector showing seven or eight terminals may still be a 14-position housing.
📊 Technical Information
- Not compatible — Bobcat Chipper. Uses a RACS controller, which the CAN PRO cannot drive.
- Not compatible — Bobcat Concrete Pump and Mixer. Also RACS-controlled.
- Mulcher requires a brake bypass kit to release the brake. Once bypassed, the controls operate normally.
- Confirmed attachments: 84-inch and 96/108-inch graders including laser control with LR410 and BRL2 receivers, dozer blade, wheel saw, stump grinder, V-plow, tree spades, snow blower, all models of cold planer, box blades with lasers, Bob-Tach mounted mini backhoe, rotary broom and soil conditioner. Trimble Earthworks GO is supported.
- Some Kubota machines ship with sticks missing controls. If only two of four functions work, those functions are absent from your sticks. Two pins can be moved to reach them — otherwise no attachment needing more than four functions will run, including graders and cold planers.
- Some Caterpillar machines are missing Aux 3 and Aux 4 — the switches beside the right roller that turn the hydraulics on and off. Those switches must be installed for the CAN PRO to operate at all.
- High flow jumper. A hidden jumper inside the connector activates high flow — connect to K for XPS, or N for XE and XHP. It must be removed again when switching back to low-flow attachments.
Before you order — a caveat about factory controls. Both ends of this product are built to factory pin specifications using original factory parts. What cannot be guaranteed is that your machine was ordered with all the factory controls fitted, or that your attachment is pinned to match. This is especially common with auction attachments and second-hand purchases. Tools and instructions for moving pins are included so everything can be brought into alignment.
