ABSTRACT:
An apparatus controls the movement of a ripper for a machine. Tilt and lift cylinders controllably actuate the ripper. Hydraulic control valves control the flow of hydraulic fluid to the respective cylinder. An auto-return button produces an auto-return signal in response to being depressed by the machine operator. A controller receives the auto-return signal and delivers a ripper control signal to the hydraulic control valves to automatically raise the ripper to a predetermined position.
