Patent ID: 7401542

Claim:
A vehicle comprising: a frame; a plurality of traction devices configured to propel the frame on the ground; an output device coupled to the frame, the output device configured to be moveable between a first position and a second position; a hydraulic actuator coupled to the output device to move the output device between the first position and the second position; and a hydraulic control system coupled to the hydraulic actuator and configured to provide hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator, the hydraulic control system including a base member having a range of travel, the range of travel corresponding to a range of metering rates of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator; and an input device supported by the base member and being adjustable by an operator while the operator holds the base member, the input device having a first position which corresponds to the range of metering rates being set to a first range of metering rates and a second position which corresponds to the range of metering rates being set to a second range of metering rates, the second range of metering rates being greater than the first range of metering rates.
