Abstract
A work machine, with a frame member, a ground engaging mechanism coupled to the frame member and configured to at least partially contact an underlying surface, a sensor coupled to the ground engaging mechanism, the sensor positioned to identify a displacement of the ground engaging mechanism relative to the frame, a controller in communication with the sensor, and a location system in communication with the controller. Wherein, the controller marks a location that corresponds with the position of the ground engaging mechanism, the location being identified by the location system when the sensor identifies the displacement of the ground engaging mechanism.
