20. A method for adjusting the position of a power lift of an agricultural utility vehicle, comprising:
storing one or more target positions of the power lift in a control device;
moving the control member rotationally relative to and translationally along a longitudinal axis;
adjusting the power lift to one of the stored target positions by at least a translational control movement of the control member;
adjusting the one or more target positions of the power lift within a position range defined by a lower limit position and an upper limit position by movement of the control member; and
carrying out a signaling procedure when a movement position of the control member representing a predetermined target position of the power lift is attained;
wherein, the carrying out step comprises at least one of:
braking the rotational control movement of the control member for the signaling procedure;
moving the control member in a translational manner counter to the translational control movement for the signaling procedure;
setting the control member into a mechanical vibration for the signaling procedure;
generating an acoustic signal on the control member or outside the control member for the signaling procedure.
