Abstract

The invention relates to an improved snow grooming vehicle featuring a multifunction joystick (10) adapted to selectively control a plurality of independent functions of various work implements installed on the snow grooming vehicle (60). More specifically, the multifunction joystick (10) is adapted to select specific functions of work implements and apply the movements of the joystick to these specific functions. If a new function is selected, the movements of the joystick are applied to the newly selected function while disabling the previously selected function. From a single joystick (10), the operator may control a wide array of functions of the wor k implements installed on the snow grooming vehicle (60).
