ABSTRACT:
A self propelled power machine is provided with a drive system and a traction lock mechanism. The drive system includes a speed range selector and associated mechanism that can operate the power machine in high and low speed ranges. The traction lock mechanism, when applied stops the drive system from moving the wheels of the power machine. A controller insures the drive system is in the low speed range prior to engaging the traction lock mechanism. The controller determines whether the drive system is operating in a low speed range or a high speed range. If the drive system is in the high speed range, the controller places the drive system in the low speed range and the controller then applies the traction lock after a short time delay to provide some dynamic slowing of the drive. If the system is already in the low speed range, the drive system remains there and the controller applies the traction lock.
