System and method for controlling a ground speed of an agricultural sprayer

A system for controlling a ground speed of an agricultural sprayer, the system comprising:

• a speed setting device for commanding a selected ground speed of the agricultural sprayer when operating within a speed-range mode associated with a ground speed range, the speed setting device being movable across a plurality of positions, with each position of the speed setting device being associated with a different ground speed within the ground speed range, the ground speed range extending from a minimum range speed to a maximum range speed, the maximum range speed being lower than a maximum ground speed of the agricultural sprayer;
• a speed override input device for commanding that the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer be increased to the maximum ground speed;
• a drive system configured to adjust the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer;
• and
• a computing system communicatively coupled to the speed setting device, the speed override input device, and the drive system,
• wherein:
• the computing system is configured to control an operation of the drive system to adjust the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer based on the selected ground speed associated with an actuated position of the speed setting device when in the speed-range mode, and
• when an override input is received from the speed override input device, the computing system is configured to control the operation of the drive system to increase the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer from the selected ground speed to the maximum ground speed.
