Abstract: A compaction machine system includes a compaction machine in communication with a remote control. The compaction machine includes a mobile chassis with a first and second subframes pivotably connected at a pivot connection, a steering angle sensor, a steering actuator for causing the first and second subframes to pivot, and a control unit in communication with the steering angle sensor and with the steering actuator. The control unit determines an operational stroke of the of the steering actuator and controls the steering actuator based on the input from the direction control and the determined operational stroke of the steering actuator. When the steering actuator is at a limit of its operational stroke, the control unit overrides commands from the direction control that otherwise would result in extending or retracting the steering actuator stroke beyond its operational limit.
