Abstract

A control system for a work machine having an upper frame rotatably mounted to a lower frame is provided. The upper frame includes an arm assembly. The system includes a controller. The controller is responsive to a first user command to lock or substantially restrict movement of the upper frame relative to the lower frame while allowing user control of the arm assembly.
