Abstract
A work implement includes a support controller disposed in communication with a hydraulic lift cylinder. The support controller initiates a control activation signal for commanding movement of the hydraulic lift cylinder to move the head support from an initial start position to a commanded support position. The support controller determines a stop signal position based on the current rate of movement of the head support toward the commanded support position. The stop signal position may further be based on a current fluid pressure of an associated float system. The support controller ceases or stops the control activation signal when the head support reaches the stop signal position, whereby the head support decelerates over a distance after cessation of the control activation signal such that the head support substantially stops movement at the commanded support position.
