Abstract

A control system for a hitched or trailed implement coupled to a work vehicle is disclosed herein. The control system allows control to be selectively transferred between various types of implements by use of a hydraulic selector valve. An electronic control unit controls the actions of a hitch assembly actuator, a trailed implement, an auxiliary device, or some combination thereof as determined by the configuration of the hydraulic selector valve.
