ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for providing control over both a transmission of a vehicle and an implement (e.g. a snow plow) mounted to that vehicle is disclosed. Specifically, this apparatus is comprised of both a lever, illustratively a shift lever, for choosing a pre-defined one of a plurality of gears in the transmission, and a selector mounted on the lever for causing the implement (snow plow) to perform a desired function (e.g. move in a desired direction). One end of the lever is adapted to be grasped by a driver of the vehicle. The selector is situated in sufficient proximity to this end so that the driver is not required to substantially release his grasp of this end of the lever in order to actuate the selector and evoke the desired function. As a result, the driver advantageously saves considerable time and effort in using a vehicular mounted implement and thus experiences far less fatigue than in the past.
