Control system for reverser transmission having aggressive and non-aggressive modes

A vehicle control system comprising:

• a controller having a programmed acceleration circuit;
• a forward acceleration pedal having a position sensor that is signal-connected to an input of said programmed acceleration circuit in the controller;
• a reverse acceleration pedal having a position sensor that is signal-connected to an input of said programmed acceleration circuit in the controller;
• a forward electrically controlled hydraulic proportional control valve that is signal-connected to said programmed acceleration circuit of the controller;
• a reverse electrically controlled hydraulic proportional control valve that is signal-connected to said programmed acceleration circuit of the controller;
• a transmission responsive to said hydraulic proportional control valves to drive a wheel in forward or reverse respectively;
• a first pressure sensor connected downstream of said forward control valve, and a second pressure sensor connected downstream of said reverse control valve, said first and second pressure sensors being signal-connected to said controller;
• and
• said controller including a feedback circuit that controls said transmission based on signals from said first and second pressure sensors.

A vehicle control system comprising:

• a control;
• a directional device activated by a user to send an acceleration demand signal to said control;
• said control having an acceleration circuit receiving said acceleration demand signal and producing a selectable output signal proportional to said demand signal selectable between a first output signal and a second, greater output signal;
• an operator controlled selector for selecting between said first and second output signals;
• a transmission arranged for directing power to a wheel, said transmission responsive to said selectable output signal to accelerate said wheel.
