A method for adjusting the position of a power lift of an agricultural utility vehicle includes storing one or more target positions in a control device, moving the control member rotationally relative to and translationally along a longitudinal axis, and adjusting the one or more target positions of the power lift within a position range defined by a lower limit position and an upper limit position by a variable movement of the control member.

Method for adjusting the position of a power lift

A velocity control mechanism is operable to control a vehicle at a maximum forward velocity setting and a maximum rearward velocity setting. The velocity control mechanism includes a processor configured to receive a first signal from an actuator selectively positionable in a velocity control mode in which the vehicle operates at a maximum limited forward velocity less than the maximum forward velocity setting and a maximum limited rearward velocity less than the maximum rearward velocity setting. The first signal represents a desired vehicle forward velocity. The processor also configured to control a velocity of the vehicle in the forward direction based on the first signal and receive a second signal from the actuator. The second signal represents a desired vehicle rearward velocity. The processor further configured to control a velocity of the vehicle in the rearward direction based on the second signal.

System and method of a velocity control mechanism for a vehicle

A velocity control mechanism for a vehicle operable to move in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The velocity control mechanism includes an acceleration control mode operable to accelerate the vehicle in one of the forward direction and the rearward direction, a velocity control mode operable to control a velocity of the vehicle in one of the forward and the rearward direction, and an intermediate control mode positioned between the acceleration control mode and the velocity control mode. An actuator is moveable between the acceleration control mode and the velocity control mode and is biased into the intermediate control mode.
