ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling a plurality of subsystems associated with a tractor, such as hitch positioning, power take off (PTO), multiple range transmissions, diesel fuel injection, and the like. One or more microprocessors are used to receive signals from a plurality of sensors and operator controls, indicative of actual and desired conditions of the tractor and subsystems. Various control criteria, including desired relation- ships among various subsets of the conditions, are stored in memories associated with the microprocessors. The processors cycle through a series of subroutines in which various subsets of conditions are compared with the target, or desired relationships. Control signals are generated by the processors for controlling the individual subsystems to bring the conditions thereof to the targeted relationships. Such relation- ships include, but are not limited to advance characteristics as a function of engine RPM and torque, transmission shift points, criteria for overriding a draft control for hitch positioning, and the like.
