Abstract
A multiple mode operational system for a work machine may comprise a frame, a ground-engaging mechanism coupled to the frame, an attachment, an object detector, and a multiple mode control system. The multiple mode control system may include a control device and a controller receiving a signal from the control device. The controller may have a first operational mode and a second operational mode. The first operational mode may enable a first sensitivity response to the control device and the second operational mode may enable a second sensitivity response to the control device. The controller may be configured to receive an object signal from the object detector and modify the operational mode of the controller based on a detected distance of the object from a reference point.
