Just received a 96" six way dozer blade for my 863 Bobcat. I have thumb switch for directional hydraulics and a trigger for constant hydraulics. They sent me a snow-blower control as a way to change between the two angle adjustments. This has two rocker switches and a cable with 6 colored wires. The blade has a cable with two wires, one black and one white. Can anyone enlighten me on how this is supposed to work?

The install was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks to Josh at Skidpro for explaining it to me. The two wires coming off of the blade are to charge a selenoid that changes the flow from the x-axix (no power) to the z-axis (power on). I mounted a trailer plug connection above the quick connect and ran wires to the a switch that I mounted next to the light switch. The thing with the snow blower control is that Skidpro stocks a "one size fits all" and I was told that I can return it.

Glad you got it sorted out easily.
I have never used one, but the videos i have seen them in action, they are very fancy!
