Implementations of the present disclosure are generally directed to activating features in power machines. More particularly, implementations of the present disclosure are directed to remote activation of features in power machines. Implementations include, methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for transmitting a request for an initialization indicator for a software package from an initialization system of a power machine comprising hardware physically capable of executing at least one function, the request being transmitted, by a communication link of the initialization system, from a machine controller of the initialization system to a remote system, communicating, by the communication link, the initialization indicator from the remote system to the machine controller, and in response to receiving the initialization indicator: storing, by the machine controller, the initialization indicator, and executing, by the machine controller, the software package to control the at least one function.

Remote feature activation in power machines

A power machine can include a control device configured to select a ground-engagement mode from a plurality of ground-engagement modes. An operator input can be received from an operator input device to command movement of one or more drive actuators to provide turning travel. The one or more drive actuators can be commanded to provide modified turning travel based on the selected ground-engagement mode.
