Abstract
A milling machine, system, and method for adjusting a rotor cutting height adjusts the rotor cutting height to a target cutting height responsive to a control input received at an operator control interface. One or more legs of the milling machine and/or a height of the rotor can be adjusted to adjust the rotor cutting height to the target cutting height. The rotor cutting height can be adjusted based on data from one or more sensors. Each sensor may be a sonic sensor or an image capturing sensor.
