<p>A control system (24) for a utility vehicle, particularly a compact utility tractor (20), that is speed-controlled by a hydrostatic transmission (26), prevents engine stalling by automatically reducing the stroke of a pump (30) of the hydrostatic transmission (26), and thus reducing the vehicle speed, when the unloaded engine speed drops below a predetermined threshold. The apparatus includes a servo controlled hydrostatic transmission (26), an engine speed sensor (64), a throttle position sensor and a controller (52). The unloaded engine speed is determined by either an engine throttle lever position or by an engine speed capture algorithm that continuously monitors engine speed and records engine speed occurring when the transmission control pedals (72, 74) are positioned in neutral. <IMAGE></p> |
