Method of changing operating characteristics of an implement

A method for changing operating characteristics of an implement for use with a work machine, the method comprising:

• connecting the implement with the work machine, the operating characteristics of the implement having a predetermined operational range consisting of a plurality of values for operating at a first value within the operational range;
• sending a first input signal identifying the operational range to an electronic control module after attaching the implement with the work machine;
• sending a second input signal relating to a second value within the operational range to the electronic control module after the first input signal is sent to the electronic control module;
• and
• sending an output signal from the electronic control module to one of the work machine and implement to change from the first value to the second value after the second input signal is sent to the electronic control module.

A work machine, comprising:

• a connectable implement having operating characteristics with a predetermined operational range consisting of a plurality of values;
• an electronic control module attached to the work machine;
• a first-end portion of a conducting device attached to the work machine;
• a second-end portion of the conducting device attached to the implement, wherein the attachment of the conducting device with the electronic control module and implement sets operation of the implement at a first value within the operational range;
• and
• signal means for changing from the first value within the operational range to a second value within the operational range.
