Work vehicle operator control with increment adjust
First Claim
1. A control system for a work vehicle having an implement adjustably mounted to a frame of the work vehicle by a first actuator coupled to the implement and a second actuator coupled to the implement, the control system comprising:
- at least one controller configured to adjust the first actuator and the second actuator;
a first operator control of a first operator control device providing a first incremental input to the at least one controller corresponding to a first incremental adjustment of the first actuator, the first incremental adjustment effecting a prescribed change in position of a first side of the implement; and
a second operator control of a second operator control device providing a second incremental input to the at least one controller corresponding to a second incremental adjustment of the second actuator, the second incremental adjustment effecting a prescribed change in position of a second side of the implement;
wherein, at least when in a manual control mode, the incremental change in position of the first side of the implement is independent of the incremental change in position of the second side of the implement.

Abstract
A control system for a work vehicle has a controller configured to adjust first and second actuators for moving first and second sides of an implement relative to the work vehicle. A first operator control provides a first incremental input to the controller corresponding to a first incremental adjustment of the first actuator effecting a prescribed change in position of the first side of the implement. A second operator control provides a second incremental input to the controller corresponding to a second incremental adjustment of the second actuator effecting a prescribed change in position of the second side of the implement. At least when in a manual control mode, the incremental change in position of the first side of the implement is independent of the incremental change in position of the second side of the implement.

-
a controller configured to adjust the first actuator and the second actuator; a first operator control of a first operator control device providing a first incremental input to the controller corresponding to a first incremental adjustment of the first actuator, the first incremental adjustment effecting a prescribed change in height of the first side of the implement; and a second operator control of a second operator control device providing a second incremental input to the controller corresponding to a second incremental adjustment of the second actuator, the second incremental adjustment effecting a prescribed change in height of the second side of the implement; wherein, at least when in a manual control mode, the incremental change in height of the first side of the implement is independent of the incremental change in height of the second side of the implement. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A control system for a work vehicle having an implement adjustably mounted to a frame of the work vehicle by a first actuator coupled to a first side of the implement and a second actuator coupled to a second side of the implement, the control system comprising:
-
a controller configured to adjust the first actuator and the second actuator; a first joystick having a first operator control providing a first incremental input to the controller corresponding to a first incremental adjustment of the first actuator; and a second joystick having a second operator control providing a second incremental input to the controller corresponding to a second incremental adjustment of the second actuator; a third operator control providing a mode selection input to the controller for changing between a manual control mode and a cross-slope control mode; wherein, when the third operator control sets the controller to the manual control mode, the first operator control is configured to provide a first incremental input to the controller corresponding to a first incremental adjustment of the first actuator effecting a prescribed change in height of the first side of the implement, and the second operator control is configured to provide a second incremental input to the controller corresponding to a second incremental adjustment of the second side of the second actuator effecting a prescribed change in height of the second side of the implement independent of the change in position of the first side of the implement; and wherein, when the third operator control sets the controller to the cross-slope control, the first operator control is configured to provide first and second incremental inputs to the controller corresponding to first and second incremental adjustments of the first and second actuators effecting a prescribed change in height of the implement without changing a slope of the implement between the first and second sides. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
