    Mult-Function Joystick on NH L220

    The 6-way dozer blade works this way.Angle and tilt goes through a divert valve.You have to hold one of the button down for angle and also the tilt off the foot pedal.Just can't do both at the same time .You have to let off the button between the two functions.
