E02F 3/84, E02F 9/20
US Classification:
172 2, 701 50
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a control system for a machine. The control system includes a sensor configured to provide an implement measurement signal indicative of a velocity of a machine implement, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the implement measurement signal, determine whether a main threshold condition is met, and determine an adjusted implement command based at least in part on the implement measurement signal.
