Hydraulic control system, work machine and method for controlling operation of a work attachment

A hydraulic control system for controlling operation of a work attachment of a work machine, comprising:

• a controller configured to output a work attachment control value controlling the operation of the work attachment,
• an operator input device operatively connected to the controller, wherein the operator input device is configured to output a command signal depending on an amount of actuation of the operator input device for setting the work attachment control value,
• a mode select input device operatively connected to the controller and configured to select a first mode and a second mode, and
• a save input device operatively connected to the controller, wherein the save input device is configured to generate a save command signal upon actuating the save input device,
• wherein the controller is configured to save a constant work attachment control value, wherein the constant work attachment control value is the work attachment control value as set by the command signal upon receiving the save command signal,
• in the first mode, the controller outputs the work attachment control value based on the command signal, and
• in the second mode, the controller outputs the constant work attachment control value when the command signal reaches a predetermined threshold.
