Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a work vehicle such as a loader having a bucket attached to the lift arms of a lift assembly and including a system and method for controlling the operation of the lift assembly so as to enable the loader to move over varying terrain without spilling the contents of the bucket. The system includes a chassis sensor, a bucket sensor, a gravity sensor, and a control system for varying the position of the bucket. The system adjusts the bucket's orientation via the control system to maintain a 90 degree difference between the bucket vector and the gravity vector.
