Abstract
A work machine having an attachment, a frame, an engine, a ground-engaging mechanism, and a hydrostatic transmission operable in an economy mode. The work machine includes a controller to automatically control detection of: an economy mode signal from the hydrostatic transmission and the engine being operable in an economy mode, a grade control signal from the attachment, and an engine load for a designated time period. When the economy mode and the detected grade control signal are active, the controller determines the detected engine load is greater than a maximum load threshold, then a power management parameter is set to a maximum. When the detected engine load is less than the maximum load threshold, then the power management parameter is set to a minimum. If a previous forward pass increased the power management parameter to the maximum, then in a reverse direction of travel, the power management parameter is unchanged.
