Claim:
1. A method for controlling rollback of a work vehicle when the work vehicle is operating on an inclined surface, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor-based device, a signal indicating that a pedal of the work vehicle has been depressed, the work vehicle initially traveling in a first direction up the inclined surface such that at least one clutch of a transmission of the work vehicle is engaged; reducing, by the processor-based device, a pressure within the at least one clutch after receiving the signal in order to decelerate the work vehicle in the first direction; and regulating, by the processor-based device, a pressure within a parking brake of the work vehicle as the work vehicle reverses direction and travels in a second direction down the inclined surface so as to control a rollback speed of the work vehicle in the second direction while the pedal is being depressed to provide for controlled rollback of the work vehicle.
