In some embodiments, the machine control system comprises a machine control unit and an orientation detection system. In some embodiments, the orientation detection system may include orientation detection means which are designed to be attached to the blade and/or to the wheel loader for detecting a position and an orientation of the blade relative to a working plane. In some embodiments, the orientation detection means are adapted to generate orientation data according to the relative position and orientation of the blade and to transmit the orientation data to the machine control unit.
