TRACTOR CONTROL/DISPLAY SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A tractor control and display system for a tractor with two or more axles which carry wheels having pneumatic tires, the system including a display terminal for displaying to a tractor operator tractor performance parameters and receiving operator'"'"'s inputs, sensors to determine various operating conditions of the tractor, and a processing unit for receiving the sensor signals and operator'"'"'s inputs and processing these signals and inputs to provide selected performance parameters for display on the display terminal, the processing unit also providing a simulation mode in which the operator can enter proposed changes in operating conditions of the tractor and the processing unit can indicate on the display terminal the effect of these proposed changes on selected tractor performance parameters.

Abstract
A tractor control/display system includes a display means for displaying to a tractor operator tractor performance parameters and receiving operator'"'"'s inputs. Sensors are also provided to determine various operating conditions of the tractor, and a processing unit for receiving the sensor signals and operator'"'"'s inputs and processing these signals and inputs to provide selected performance parameters for display on the display means. The processing means also provides a simulation mode in which the operator can enter proposed changes in operating conditions of the tractor and the processing means can indicate on the display means the effect of these proposed changes on selected tractor performance parameters.
