14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for directing a processor to perform power hop mitigation, the instructions being configured to direct the processor to:
detect power hopping by a tractor based upon signals received from a sensor;
notify an operator of the tractor of the power hopping; and
output control signals causing at least one actuator of the tractor to modulate the supply or transmission of power and/or speed supplied by at least one of a rear axle drive or a front axle drive of the tractor so as to mitigate the detected power hopping in response to operator input from an operator interface following notification to the operator of power hopping by the tractor.
