Claim:
1. A motion control system for controlling the movement of a hydraulically powered implement relative to a physical reference, said motion control system comprising: a) a joystick controller having a joystick handle for manually controlling movement of the powered implement relative to said physical reference; b) said joystick handle being connected to said joystick controller; c) a motion monitoring system associated with sensors to monitor the position of said powered implement relative to said physical reference; d) said motion monitoring system being configured to generate a signal indicative of actual motion of said powered implement relative to said physical reference; e) a handle position controller being configured to receive said signal indicative of the actual motion of said powered implement relative to said physical reference, and said handle position controller further being configured to influence the position of said joystick handle in relation to said signal; and f) said handle position controller further being configured to influence said joystick handle to be closer to a first extent in a first direction than a neutral position if the actual motion of said powered implement relative to said physical reference is closer to a first movement than a null movement.
