Confused about Toolcat attachments? Do they all need the 7pin plug? Can I use reg skid steer ones?

Hi I am looking at a used 5600 and it has some attachments with it. But in terms of say a grading rake, will the 5600 fit reg skid steer quick attachments or is the toolcat unique? These are obviously just manual ones, ideally a grading blade and rake I would like to have out front. Just wanted to make sure they will work and when the 7 pin part gets in the way? Thank you in advance.

The Toolcat does have the standard skid steer quick attach on the lift arm. I use a snow plow, finish mower, grapple, and buckets on the SSQA. Every maker has their own connector for inputs to control the attachment and Bobcat uses the 7-pin. Electrical adapters are used on attachments with different connectors. My attachments don't use the 7-pin because they are simple on/off. Something like a snowblower that has valves to control the chute etc would have the 7-pin.
