Abstract
A system includes an agricultural implement, a sensor, and a control system. The agricultural implement is configured to be coupled to an agricultural vehicle. The sensor is coupled to the agricultural implement and configured to output a signal indicative of a current pitch angle of the agricultural implement. The control system is configured to receive the signal indicative of the current pitch angle from the sensor, determine an anticipated pitch angle for traversing an upcoming topographical feature, define an anticipated pitch angle range based on the anticipated pitch angle, determine whether the current pitch angle is within the anticipated pitch angle range, generate a hitch height control signal indicative of instructions to predictively adjust a hitch height actuator if the current pitch angle is not within the anticipated pitch angle range, and communicate the hitch height control signal.
