Mount the receiver box anywhere near your hydraulic solenoids — the built-in magnets stick it to any steel surface on the attachment. Plug the harness into your solenoid coils — no wiring into the machine is required. Once connected, flip the switch and it's ready to use.

Yes. The system outputs standard 12V DC signals compatible with all major solenoid types including Hydraforce, Parker, Sun, and others.

No. Installation typically takes 5–10 minutes. No cutting, crimping, or wiring needed — plug and play.

Any machine — skid steers, compact loaders, excavators, tractors, and more. No integration with the host machine is needed. The system mounts to the attachment and runs independently.

It runs off an internal 12V rechargeable battery — no connection to the host machine's electrical system needed. The battery lasts a week or longer with normal attachment use.

Most users see 100 feet of reliable range depending on site conditions and obstructions.

No. Each unit ships with a remote that is pre-paired and ready to use right out of the box.

On a full charge with normal attachment use, the battery lasts up to a week — even in tough conditions.

Use the included laptop-style charger. Remove the box from the attachment to charge it. The charger light turns green when fully charged. On first use, charge until the light is green before operating.

Check that the remote has fresh AAA batteries and that the switch on the back of the remote is turned on. If the remote is still not working, power cycle the box and re-pair by pressing the green button on the remote.

The relays are functioning, but the hydraulic flow may be restricted or the solenoid isn't opening fully. Make sure hydraulic flow is directed to the attachment and that your solenoids are rated for 12V DC.

The Bobcat Box is compatible with M-Series, R-Series, and K-Series Bobcat skid steers equipped with SJC or AHC controls. If your machine has the standard joystick auxiliary controls, the Bobcat Box will work with it.

Yes. Hi-flow is a machine setting and is not affected by the Bobcat Box. Enable hi-flow through your machine's controls as you normally would — the Bobcat Box works alongside it without any changes.

Yes. The Bobcat Box can be moved between any compatible Bobcat with the correct aux controls. Always power cycle both the transmitter and receiver when switching machines — unplug the transmitter, wait 5 seconds, then plug back in and power cycle the receiver before use.

Yes. The receiver outputs standard 12V DC signals compatible with all major solenoid types including Hydraforce, Parker, Sun, and others.

The transmitter plugs into the 7-pin connector on the back of your machine and reads your machine's computer signals directly. When you press your joystick auxiliary buttons, the box detects that input and wirelessly triggers the corresponding function on your attachment — no extra remote needed.

The Bobcat Box uses your machine's existing auxiliary controls — the left and right skis and the left toggle on your joystick. No new buttons or remotes are needed. You operate your attachment exactly as you would with a factory-wired system.

It uses your existing aux controls — nothing is replaced or modified on the machine. The transmitter simply reads those signals and relays them wirelessly to the receiver on your attachment.

No. The system ships pre-paired and ready to use. Plug the transmitter into the 7-pin connector, power on the receiver, and you're ready to go. No configuration, no programming required.

The transmitter plugs into the 7-pin connector on the back of the machine. No wiring, cutting, or modifications to the machine are required.

No. Installation is plug and play — no tools, cutting, or wiring required. The transmitter plugs into the machine, the receiver mounts magnetically to the attachment, and the harness connects to your solenoid coils.

The LED on the receiver shows both pairing status and battery voltage:

Blinking green — searching for transmitter or in pairing mode
Solid green — paired and battery voltage is good
Solid yellow — paired but battery is getting low, charge soon
Solid red — battery is low, charge before use

It is also normal for the LED to briefly drop to yellow or red when a function is activated, then return to green. This is the coil drawing current — it means the system is working correctly.

The receiver LED will blink green while searching, then change to solid green once paired. When you see solid green, the system is connected and ready to use. If it will not pair, refer to the troubleshooting guide.

Use the included laptop-style charger. Remove the receiver from the attachment to charge it. The charger light will turn green when fully charged. Charge weekly under normal use, or whenever the LED shows yellow or red at standby.
