Abstract

A tractor with at least one lifting mechanism that has an upper link and lower links and actuators associated therewith, at least one attachment adapted to the lifting mechanism, and a driver assistance system is disclosed. The driver assistance system optimizes the operation of the tractor and has a computing unit, a memory unit and at least one input interface. The computing unit processes information generated by machine-internal sensor systems, external information, and information that may be saved in the memory unit. The tractor and/or the at least one attachment include a control device for controlling and regulating the tractor and the attachment. The driver assistance system comprises an automatic lifting mechanism that is configured to function based on characteristics, and to optimize adjustment of at least one work parameter of the tractor depending on selectable regulation strategies and/or optimization target variables saved in the memory unit.
