Work vehicle with switchable propulsion control system

A work vehicle, comprising:

• a frame;
• a cabin mounted on the frame;
• a propulsion control device arranged within the cabin and configured to be actuated by an operator in a first input direction and a second input direction;
• a ground engaging mechanism mounted to the frame;
• a travel motor coupled to the frame and the ground engaging mechanism, the travel motor configured to selectively drive the ground engaging mechanism based on commands from the propulsion control device in a forward travel direction and in a reverse travel direction;
• and
• a propulsion switching mechanism coupled to the travel motor and the at least one propulsion control device;
• wherein the propulsion switching mechanism is configured to be operated in a first propulsion direction mode in which, when the at least one propulsion control device is actuated in the first input direction, the travel motor is actuated to drive the ground engaging mechanism in the forward travel direction, and when the at least one propulsion control device is actuated in the second input direction, the travel motor is actuated to drive the ground engaging mechanism in the reverse travel direction;
• and
• wherein the propulsion switching mechanism is configured to be operated in a second propulsion direction mode in which, when the at least one propulsion control device is actuated in the first input direction, the travel motor is actuated to drive the ground engaging mechanism in the reverse travel direction, and when the at least one propulsion control device is actuated in the second input direction, the travel motor is actuated to drive the ground engaging mechanism in the forward travel direction.
