Description
🔌Plug-in install — no splicing
🔧6 switched solenoid outputs
🏭Designed and built in the USA
📘 Overview
The Skid Steer Genius SG-CAN60-XX 6-port CAN controller lets a Bobcat 7-pin CAN machine run attachments that were never built to speak Bobcat's control language. It plugs into the 7-pin Trident connector on the loader, interprets the CAN signals your stick buttons send, and switches six independent 12-volt outputs through a Deutsch HD 14-pin connector — so standard solenoid-controlled attachments respond exactly as they would on a machine with conventional wiring.
This is the six-output member of the CAN60 family. It fits Bobcat skid steer loaders, Toolcat utility vehicles and the Versahandler telehandler, with one documented exception noted below. Extension harness, Deutsch-to-Delphi output adapters and a dust cap can each be added at the time of order.
⚙ Key Features of the SG-CAN60-XX Controller
- Six independently switched 12V solenoid outputs — enough for multi-function attachments such as angle-and-tilt blades
- 7-pin Trident machine interface — connects directly to the Bobcat CAN bus port, no splicing into machine wiring
- Deutsch HD 14-pin output connector — the standard attachment-side interface across the industry
- Reads the machine's own button presses — the controller identifies which cab button was pressed and switches the matching output
- Optional 9-foot extension harness — for attachments where the controller cannot sit close to the solenoid bank
- Optional Deutsch-to-Delphi adapters — six supplied, for attachments terminating in Delphi connectors
- Optional dust cap — protects the connector when the attachment is detached
🔑 Why Fit a CAN Controller to Your Bobcat
- Runs non-Bobcat attachments on a Bobcat machine — opens up the whole aftermarket instead of restricting you to Bobcat-branded attachments carrying their own controllers
- Protects the machine's control electronics — the correct way to take a 12V output from a CAN port, rather than wiring a solenoid across a signal line
- One controller serves many attachments — it mounts to the loader rather than living inside each attachment, so a single unit covers the whole fleet of tools
- Six outputs cover multi-function tools — a Bobcat-style dozer blade needs four active controls alone for angle and tilt
- Ordered configured — extension harness, output adapters and dust cap are selected up front, so the kit arrives complete

🚜 Which Machines Does the SG-CAN60-XX Fit?
This controller connects to the 7-pin Trident CAN connector fitted to Bobcat machines. The 7-pin port is the newer Bobcat interface — Bobcat machines built before 2000 used a 14-pin connector instead and need a different product entirely.
| Machine | Fitment |
|---|---|
| Bobcat T-series track loaders | T190, T250, T550, T590, T595, T630, T650, T750, T770, T870, T64, T66, T76, T86 |
| Bobcat S-series skid steers | S70, S75, S100, S150, S185, S205, S250, S570, S590, S595, S650, S750, S76, S850 |
| Bobcat Toolcat | Toolcat 5600, Toolcat 5610 |
| Bobcat Toolcat | Compatible |
| Bobcat Versahandler | Compatible — except the 923 model |
| Bobcat machines built before 2000 (14-pin) | Not compatible — these use the 14-pin standard |
| Non-Bobcat machines | Not compatible — this controller reads the Bobcat CAN signal |
Check your connector before ordering. Count the positions in your machine's attachment connector, including empty ones — manufacturers often fit fewer pins than the housing supports, so a connector with seven pins fitted is not necessarily a 7-pin connector. If you are unsure, email us at support@eskidsteer.com or click the chat icon on any page before you order.
❓ Bobcat CAN Controller Questions, Answered
My meter shows low voltage on the Bobcat 7-pin connector — can I wire a solenoid straight to it?
No, and doing so can destroy the machine's computer. The Bobcat 7-pin output is a pulsing digital signal, not a low-voltage switched supply. An averaging multimeter smooths that pulse into a misleadingly low flat reading. A solenoid is effectively a coil of wire, so connecting one across that signal line presents a near short to the machine's control electronics. The SG-CAN60 controller exists precisely to do this safely — it reads the CAN signal and switches a real 12 volt output to your solenoids.
What does the SG-CAN60-XX actually do?
The SG-CAN60-XX plugs into the Bobcat 7-pin Trident connector and translates the CAN messages your cab buttons generate into six independently switched 12 volt outputs on a Deutsch HD 14-pin connector. Attachments that expect conventional switched power then work normally on a Bobcat machine.
How many outputs do I need for my attachment?
Count the solenoids on the attachment and what each one does. A Bobcat-style dozer blade uses four solenoids — angle left, angle right, tilt left and tilt right — so it needs four active controls. The SG-CAN60-XX provides six switched outputs, which covers most multi-function attachments with headroom.
Will this fit my Bobcat Versahandler?
The SG-CAN60-XX fits Bobcat Versahandler models with the 7-pin CAN connector, with one documented exception: it is not compatible with the Versahandler 923. It also fits Bobcat skid steer loaders and the Toolcat.
My attachment only runs one of its two functions — what should I check?
Four things, in order. First, the hydraulic couplers must be swapped so that pushing the right trigger alone starts the flow — running in reverse means the machine is not in high flow and the controls will not operate. Second, make sure there is no pin in position K on the attachment connector. Third, move A to G and J to H on the attachment connector. Fourth, if the attachment is high flow rated, the machine must be at full throttle for the control side to work.
Will the SG-CAN60-XX run a forestry mulcher?
It will, provided the mulcher uses the standard 14-pin arrangement — position B for ground and positions C, D, E, F, G and H for control. Check the attachment connector against that pattern before ordering.
My Bobcat is older and has a 14-pin connector — will this work?
No. Bobcat machines built before 2000 use a 14-pin connector and a different control approach entirely. The SG-CAN60-XX is for the 7-pin CAN system used on later machines. Count the positions in your machine connector, including empty ones, to confirm which you have.
Do I need the 9-foot extension harness?
The 9-foot extension harness is worth adding when the controller cannot be mounted close to the attachment's solenoid bank. If the controller will sit within easy reach of the solenoids, select "No extension harness required" and save the cost.
What are the Deutsch-to-Delphi adapters for?
The SG-CAN60-XX outputs through a Deutsch HD 14-pin connector. If your attachment's solenoids terminate in Delphi connectors rather than Deutsch, add the six Deutsch-to-Delphi adapters so the kit plugs together without splicing.
Do I have to remove the black controller box from my Bobcat attachment?
Not when you are running a Bobcat attachment on a non-Bobcat machine using a CAN PRO — that product spoofs the Bobcat communication system, so the attachment's own controller stays in place. The SG-CAN60-XX solves the opposite problem: it lets a Bobcat machine run attachments that do not have Bobcat controllers at all.
Does this work on a machine that is not a Bobcat?
No. The SG-CAN60-XX reads the Bobcat CAN signal specifically, so it requires a Bobcat machine with the 7-pin Trident connector. For running Bobcat attachments on other brands of machine, a different product is required.
📊 Technical Information
- Installation takes about a minute and is fully plug and play, supplied assembled.
- Boom-mount configuration — one controller serves every attachment with up to six solenoids, rather than a control box per tool.
- Port status LED confirms the unit is powered and receiving commands from the machine.
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.
