Called QE-command, and part of the firm’s Quicke Control System, the new joystick is not only designed to be ergonomic, but provides the possibility to operate all tractor loader functions as standard.

Combined with the three-sectional valve, the conveniently placed rocker offers independent and proportional third service; Live3. Q-companion, the driver support system that includes load weighing, can be integrated with the QE-command joystick where the scroll wheel makes menu selection easy and comfortable.

The company reckons that QE-command and Q-companion combined offers the driver advanced control system features and allows for user settings and instructions on the included colour display.

The combination forms the platform for future software updates where active loader functions will be introduced. This will enable repeatable work cycles, range limitation and much more, says Quicke.
