Abstract: Embodiments relate to a multi-mode engine operation control system (200) and method for a backhoe loader (100), which allows operators to switch between four distinct modes: Eco Mode Driving, Power Mode Driving, Eco Mode Bucket Operation, and Power Mode Bucket Operation. The control system (200) integrates a digital switch (202) for mode selection and utilizes an accelerator pedal (204), hand-controlled pedal (206), and engine speed to intelligently adjust the engine’s operating speed range based on the mode and operational input. The result is improved fuel efficiency, optimized performance, and simplified operation without overlapping engine speed ranges or requiring additional switches. FIG. 2
