Dual mode joystick and work vehicles containing the same
A variable track joystick device includes a joystick movably coupled to a support housing, the joystick having a first range of motion to control a first work vehicle function when the device is in a first mode of operation, and a second range of motion to control a second work vehicle function when the device is in a second mode of operation. In the first mode, an actuator can be powered to move a joystick guide to a closed position to restrict the joystick to the first range of motion or unpowered in the second mode to move the joystick guide to an open position for a second range of motion. An operator can command the device from the first mode to the second mode by pushing the joystick from the first range of motion to the second range of motion even when the actuator remains powered.
