An automatic horsepower control system on a working vehicle which varies the vehicle drive speed so as to maintain a maximum torque output on the working function of the vehicle. The prime mover of the vehicle drives the work function and also a pump which in turn supplies motor-driven wheels for moving the vehicle. A servo-control valve varies the pump flow to the motor to change vehicle speeds, said valve being signaled by an electronic controller which compares the prime mover\s RPM with a standard to determine the torque load from the work function, and accordingly signals the valve to increase or decrease the flow to the motor to adjust vehicle speed and maintain a constant work load on the prime mover.

A trencher control system which varies the vehicle drive speed so as to maintain a preset torque on the digging chain as the digging conditions vary, comprising: a prime mover; a drive means connecting the prime mover to the digging chain; a pump means driven by the prime mover; a vehicle drive motor connected to the drive wheels of the trencher, said motor being driven by said pump; RPM sensing means on the prime mover; a servo-controlled valve means between the pump means and the vehicle drive motor which varies the amount of flow from the pump means to the drive motor; and an electronic control means which controls the servo of the valve means, the control means receives a signal from the RPM sensing means and compares the signal with an adjustable reference, if the signal received is less than the reference, the control means signals the servo to decrease the flow to the vehicle drive motor, if the signal is greater than the reference, the control means signals the servo to increase the flow to the drive motor and further load the prime mover, whereby the control means maintains the prime mover at its peak torque output regardless of changes in load.
