Patent ID: 8175780

Claim:
A machine having at least one motor operable to propel the machine and to at least one implement actuator, the machine having an engine operative at a speed controlled by an underspeed setting, the machine comprising: at least one transmission connected to the at least one motor operating to propel the machine; an electronic controller associated with the machine, the electronic controller disposed to receive data corresponding to at least one machine operating parameter relative to the at least one transmission, wherein the at least one machine operating parameter includes: a first parameter, which is indicative of a pressure of fluid at the at least one motor; and a second parameter, which is indicative of a pressure of fluid at the at least one implement actuator; the electronic controller being further disposed to process the data corresponding to the at least one machine operating parameter to determine an operating mode of the machine and to adapt the underspeed setting for the engine based on the operating mode.
