Cruise Control
Cruise control is a standard feature that allows the unit to automatically adjust ground drive speed
according to digging conditions. In easier soil conditions, the ground drive speed will increase. When the
unit encounters difficult soil conditions, the ground drive speed will decrease. The unit does this by
adjusting ground drive pump output to maintain a preset engine speed.
