Adapting Bobcat Attachments to run on Kubota SVL machines

This is not an easy feat, given what Kubota has offered their customers in the past.  Genius went to work early on to release a few options for Kubota customers in order to operate most attachments.  We now have both enhanced options available for the SVL 75, SVL90 and SVL95 machines that enable customers to have a better alternative to what they offer at a better price. SVL 75, SVL90 and SVL95 Controls Explained: When Kubota released these machines initially, they failed to realize that most buyers of modern machines expect to buy them to operate modern attachments.  The initial...

Beware of Imitations.

Beware of Imitations.

If you have followed our progress for any amount of time you have seen us develop the most comprehensive array of controllers, harnesses and adapters found anywhere.  We back this with amazing support and quality that is unheard of.   It hasn't taken long and already the imitators have joined in.  First it was the controllers and now it is the harnesses and adapters.  Today we had a customer send us an adapter because it fell apart.  When it arrived, we found that we did not make this adapter.  Everything about it was substandard and did not meet our qualifications.

Posted by Robert Leib on

How to use a Bobcat Attachment on your Caterpillar

Posted by Robert Leib on

This is such a common question that I have decided to devote a blog post to it.  You can easily convert Bobcat brand attachments to run on any skid steer loader including Caterpillar, John Deere, New Holland, Kubota, Gehl, Mustang, Takeuchi and others.  The main thing you are trying to defeat is the Bobcat 7 Pin CanBus controller that has been installed in every attachment since 2000.  This interrupts the operation on any machine but a Bobcat.  You must find this box and remove it for anything to work.  Then follow the following steps.  Swap the hydraulic hose ends because...

We will buy your Bobcat Controllers for cash!

Every day we deal with customers who are so unhappy with their attachments because they have proprietary Canbus Controllers embedded in them so they cannot move them from machine to machine. Our harnesses are designed to bypass this issue forever, but then what?  Our customers are stuck with a plastic brick that they have no use for. The typical conversation goes like this.  (Customer) I just bought a new Caterpillar and I cannot get my Bobcat branded dozer blade to work on the 14 pin harness of my Cat.  (Genius) We can supply you with a bypass harness and you...
