Control configuration for a utility vehicle having, e.g., an extendable utility boom

Abstract

In preferred embodiments, a utility vehicle (such as, e.g., a skid steer vehicle) has a multitude of potential control-to-function configurations (in some preferred embodiments, enabling about sixteen or more configurations). The control-to-function configurations can preferably be selected by matching different control elements to different function drive elements. Preferably, the control elements (such as, e.g., hand control elements and foot control elements) have similar attachment mechanisms and the function drive elements (such as, e.g., various powered devices) have similar attachment mechanisms, whereby multiple control-to-function configurations can be readily achieved.
