Abstract: A shift assisted brake control system for a power machine or vehicle is disclosed. In illustrated embodiments, the shift assisted brake control system employs a shift assisted brake sequence. In illustrated embodiments, the shift assisted brake sequence shifts an operating speed of a hydrostatic transmission or motor from a high speed to a low speed upon activation of a brake switch or device. This reduces impact or wear to the brake mechanism. In illustrated embodiments, the transmission or motor remains at the low speed for a pause period and following the pause period, the transmission or motor is shifted to the high speed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a control system for a power machine that provides selected resolution of the adjusted speed control and other controls, such as attachment controls, to provide more options to the operator for fine positioning. The present disclosure includes a control system for a power machine. The power machine has a full speed. The control system has an adjustable propulsion controller that an operator can position along a range of movement. Examples of the adjustable propulsion controller include a joystick or an accelerator. The position of the propulsion controller along the range of movement selects the speed of the power machine between a first speed and a second speed, where the first speed is greater than the second speed. The first speed is selectable from a plurality of percentages of the full speed.
