Abstract
A control system for a tractor that controls an operating condition of an attached implement and includes a pressure sensing device which senses the pressure in the hydraulic drive circuit and provides a signal indicative of the pull force necessary to pull the implement. The control system further includes a control device which receives the pressure signal and a second signal relating to the speed of the tractor and adjusts the position of the implement to a position within a pre-determined range in order to prevent damage to the tractor or implement.
