A work machine having a first actuator and a second actuator for moving a work tool in a first direction and a second direction and having ground engaging mechanisms for supporting a frame of the machine and for propelling and steering the frame along a ground surface, includes a controller that can switch between a working and travel modes. In the working mode, the controller is configured to use a command signal of a first hand control to regulate a forwards or backwards propel speed and steering of the ground engaging mechanisms, and a command signal from the second hand control to control movement of the work tool. In the travel mode, the controller is configured to switch from using the forward or reverse actuation of the first hand control to using a foot control command signal responsive to an actuation of the single-acting foot control to regulate the propel speed of the ground engaging mechanisms, and is configured to receive a propel direction command signal, separate from the foot control, to control the forward or reverse propel direction of the ground engaging mechanisms.
A work machine having a switchable machine control pattern comprising:
A control system for switching between a working mode and a travel mode on a work machine, the control system comprising:
