Abstract
An apparatus for controlling the load of an engine associated with an hydrostatic drive system is disclosed. The apparatus modifies a pump displacement command signal in response to the actual and desired engine acceleration. The modified pump displacement command signal is used to control the displacement of a variable pump in order to regulate the load on the engine to achieve optimum efficiency.
