Abstract
A control system for a work machine has an input device operable to receive an input indicative of an operator profile and to generate a signal related to the operator profile. The control system also has a controller in communication with the work machine and the input device. The controller is configured to receive the signal and to change at least one operating parameter of the work machine in response to the signal.
