Abstract

An agricultural machine includes a controller disposed in communication with a work implement, an output, and an input. Left and right float cylinders are attached to and interconnected with a frame and left and right connecting arms. A desired operating condition from a plurality of predefined settings is then solicited from an operator via the input, wherein the desired operating condition corresponds to a designated pressure setting of the left and right float cylinders. The work implement is operated in a float mode of operation and then commanded to a raised position. The controller automatically determines a maximum pressure and a position that the maximum pressure corresponds to for the left and right float cylinders. The controller automatically modifies the designated pressure setting of the left and right float cylinders in the database based on the maximum pressure and position for each of the left and right float cylinders.
