Gday, I have owned a S130 Bobcat for a few months. I own a welding shop and want to build a attachment to help make my skid steer more useful. I need to be able to run 2 cylinders on this attachment. Can anyone tell me how and what I need to make this possible. Is it a control Module? Similar to my snow blower attachment? Thank you in advance and hope to find something out so I can get this project on the go.
 
It depends on how you want to run them. Do you need to run them independently and if so do you need to control the speed variably to each cylinder? If so you will need a controller and 7 pin harness to connect to machine which is a little expensive. If you dont need variable control you can get a dual electric solenoid valve that is 12vdc and make your own switch in the cab.

As stated, depends on what you are trying to run. If you just want two functions, you can use your aux hydraulics and a diverter valve. So in one position it works one cylinder, flip the switch to avtivate the valve then use the same control to operate the other cylinder.
You will need to add a switch in your cab to run the diverter, i'm not sure if the switches on the left handle are available to tap into, i have never investigated it to see if they can be used with adding a harness down to the quick couplers to connect to an attachment, but i believe it can be done.
