Abstract: A skid steer loader including a linkage actuation system and a control system for controlling a lift path of a work tool is disclosed. The linkage actuation system includes a first arm, a second arm, and the work tool to contact a work surface. The control system includes a first actuator between a frame and the first arm, a second actuator between the first arm and the second arm, and a third actuator between the second arm and the work tool, for moving the first arm, the second arm, and the work tool about a first pivotal axis, a second pivotal axis, and a third pivotal axis, respectively. The controller controls the actuation of two of the first actuator, the second actuator, and the third actuator for moving the work tool along a lift path, from a plurality of lift paths, based on an operator's selection.
