This adapter allows you to run a CID attachment — such as a swing-boom cutter — on a skid steer equipped with a John Deere 14-pin machine-side connector. Plug the adapter into your Deere loader’s 14-pin port, connect the attachment’s 6-pin CID plug to the adapter, power on the loader — and the attachment is ready to operate.
It’s a simple, plug-and-play solution that lets you mix brand-mismatched equipment without rewiring or modifying factory harnesses.
Machine side: John Deere skid steers or compact loaders with a 14-pin electrical connector. Attachment side: CID Swing Boom Cutter or other CID-style attachments using the 6-pin CID plug.
Note: This adapter works only with Deere loaders using their factory 14-pin output. Always confirm your machine’s output before purchasing.
This adapter is ideal for operators who already own CID-style attachments — especially swing-boom cutters — but have upgraded to (or run) a John Deere skid steer with a 14-pin output. It saves time, avoids rewiring, and offers cross-brand flexibility.

This adapter is built using factory-specification components and wired to match John Deere 14-pin and CID 6-pin layouts. However, we cannot guarantee every machine was equipped with full electrical output options — nor that every attachment harness is original or unmodified.
Always verify pin-outs and wiring compatibility before applying power. For any required pin re-mapping, use proper connector tools or consult with a qualified technician to ensure safe operation.
This adapter allows a loader or skid steer with a John Deere 14-pin electrical port to run attachments that use the CID harness/connector standard (CID inline plug layout). It converts the 14-pin output into the wiring format needed by CID-style attachments.
It works with any skid steer or loader equipped with a John Deere-standard 14-pin electrical output, and attachments designed for CID wiring/connector format. Confirm your attachment uses the correct CID harness before ordering.
No. The adapter is plug-and-play: you simply connect the machine-side 14-pin plug to your loader and connect the CID plug from the attachment. No cutting or splicing is required if connectors match the correct standards.
You can use CID-compatible attachments — for example certain forestry tools, cutters, or implements designed to operate via CID wiring harness. As long as the attachment is wired for the CID connector format and works with the signals provided by the 14-pin output, it should function properly.
Yes. Installation involves plugging the adapter into the loader’s 14-pin port and plugging the attachment’s CID connector into the adapter output. No special tools or wiring modifications are needed under standard conditions.
Yes. The adapter uses rugged connectors and wiring designed for skid steer and loader environments, tolerant to vibration, moisture, and regular attachment swaps — as long as connections are correctly made and maintained.
Yes. As long as the machine uses a John Deere-style 14-pin port and the attachment is CID-compatible, you can unplug and reuse the adapter across different machines and tools without modification.
Ensure the 14-pin plug is fully seated and locked, check that the CID plug is correctly connected, and verify that the attachment is indeed wired for the CID standard. Incorrect wiring, mismatched connectors, or loose contacts are the most common causes of malfunction.
