US Patent 9604668 Control system for switching traction device inputs

The present disclosure is directed to a control system for a machine having first and second traction devices and a cabin. The control system has a first actuator driving the first traction device and a first interface device to generate a first input indicating a desired movement of the first actuator. The control system also has a second actuator driving the second traction device and a second interface device to generate a second input indicating a desired movement of the second actuator. The control system has a controller that causes the first actuator to operate according to the first input and the second actuator to operate according to the second input when the cabin faces a first direction. The controller also causes the first actuator to operate according to the second input and the second actuator to operate according to the first input when the cabin faces a second direction.
