Abstract
A hydraulic implement system for a machine is disclosed. The hydraulic implement system may have a boom member, a boom actuator, and a boom operator control device movable to indicate a related operator desired boom member velocity. The hydraulic implement system may also have an implement pivotally connected to the boom member, an implement actuator, and an implement operator control device movable to indicated a related operator desired implement velocity. The range of the implement operator control device may be divided into a first portion and a second portion. The hydraulic implement system may also have a controller configured to selectively limit a velocity of the implement during manipulation of the implement operator control device within the first portion such that a lift velocity of the boom member of at least 65% of the desired boom member velocity is always possible.
