Description
🔌Plug and play — no wiring
🔧4 switched ports
🚜Fits most 14 pin loaders
📘 Overview
The SG-BC14A-FFC adapter lets a 14-pin loader run FFC-style attachments that terminate in a Delphi Metripak 8-pin connector. The 14-pin end plugs into the machine, the Delphi end plugs into the attachment, and four switched ports carry through — up, down, left and right. No wiring, splicing or terminal work is involved.
⚙ Key Features of the SG-BC14A-FFC Adapter
- Plug and play — no wiring or splicing required at either end
- Deutsch HD 14-pin machine side — the shared standard across current loader brands
- Delphi Metripak 8-pin attachment side — the FFC-style attachment connector
- Four switched ports — up/down and left/right
- Suits common attachments — snowblowers, Harley rakes, dozers, V-plows and tilt-tach controls
🔑 Why Use an Adapter Rather Than Rewire
- Runs FFC attachments without modifying either machine or attachment — both connectors stay standard, so the attachment still fits its original machine
- Four functions in one plug — up, down, left and right carried through without terminal work
- Moves between machines — because the 14-pin standard is shared across brands, one adapter serves a mixed fleet

🚜 Which Machines Fit the SG-BC14A-FFC?
This adapter fits loaders using the 14-pin Deutsch HD attachment connector. That is a shared standard rather than a single brand's design, so it covers Bobcat, Kubota, Case, New Holland, Gehl, Takeuchi and JCB/Volvo 14-pin machines.
| Brand | Models confirmed by the manufacturer |
|---|---|
| John Deere | 323E, 325, 325G, 333G — ground pin must be moved, see below |
| Caterpillar D-Series | 236D, 242D, 246D, 257D, 259D, 262D, 289D, 299D — see high flow note |
| Kubota SVL | SVL65, SVL75, SVL90, SVL95, SVL97 |
| Takeuchi | TL10, TL12, TL130, TL140, TL150 |
| Case | SR117, SR121, SR200, SR210, TV370, TV380 |
John Deere machines need the ground pin moved. John Deere places the ground in position A, where the universal position is B. Either move the ground to match, or fit a jumper linking A and B in the connector. Moving it in the machine rather than on each attachment is the better fix — it makes the machine universal, so every attachment plugs in afterwards.
Caterpillar D-Series needs two pins moved and possibly a high flow jumper. Move G to A and H to J. If the attachment is high flow rated, a high flow jumper is also required — without it a machine such as a 299D will not enable the high flow circuit at all.
Count positions, not installed pins — a connector showing fewer terminals may still be a 14-position housing. Note that Bobcat machines built from 2000 onward use a 7-pin CAN connector instead of 14-pin, and need a CAN controller rather than this adapter. If you are unsure which connector your machine has, email us at support@eskidsteer.com or click the chat icon on any page before ordering.
❓ FFC Adapter Questions, Answered
What is an FFC attachment connector?
FFC-style attachments terminate in a Delphi Metripak 8-pin connector rather than the Deutsch HD 14-pin used on the machine side of most loaders. The SG-BC14A-FFC bridges the two so the attachment plugs straight in.
Will the SG-BC14A-FFC run a cold planer?
No. Cold planers require six outputs and the SG-BC14A-FFC carries four switched ports. A six-output solution is needed for a cold planer.
Which machines does this adapter fit?
The SG-BC14A-FFC fits loaders with the 14-pin Deutsch HD attachment connector, including Bobcat, Kubota, Case, New Holland, Gehl, Takeuchi and JCB/Volvo 14-pin machines.
My Bobcat has a 7-pin connector, not 14-pin — will this work?
No. Bobcat machines built from 2000 onward use a 7-pin CAN connector, which is a control network rather than switched power. Those machines need a CAN controller instead of this adapter. Bobcat machines built before 2000 used the 14-pin connector and can use it.
Will this adapter work on a John Deere machine straight out of the box?
Not without one change. John Deere places the ground in position A while the universal position is B, so either the ground is moved to match or a jumper is fitted between A and B in the connector. Moving the ground in the machine itself is the better approach, because the machine then accepts any attachment rather than needing each one modified.
Will this run an FFC cold planer on a Caterpillar 299D?
A cold planer needs six outputs and this adapter carries four, so a cold planer needs a different solution. Where a four-function FFC attachment is used on a Cat D-Series machine, move G to A and H to J, and fit a high flow jumper if the attachment is high flow rated — otherwise the machine will not enable the high flow circuit.
Which attachment brands does this suit?
The SG-BC14A-FFC has been confirmed with Sweepster brooms, FFC snowblowers, Harley rakes and Paladin planers, along with dozer blades, V-plows and tilt-tach controls.
Do I need to cut or splice any wires?
No. The SG-BC14A-FFC is plug and play at both ends — the 14-pin side into the machine, the Delphi Metripak side into the attachment.
How many functions will I get?
Four switched ports: up, down, left and right. That covers snowblower chute and deflector control, blade angle, V-plow wings and tilt-tach functions.
