Abstract
A work vehicle having an implement positioning system can include a frame supported above a ground surface by ground engaging units and a work tool pivotally attached to a distal end of a boom assembly. The boom assembly is coupled to the frame to pivot the work tool through an arc between an upper position and a lower position. The work tool rotates an implement about a tool axis which can be inclined relative to a target axis. A controller receives a boom position signal from a boom position sensor which is indicative of an arc position of the distal end and an inclinometer signal from a tool axis sensor which is indicative of a longitudinal inclination and a transverse inclination to the target axis. The controller is configured to display tool axis inclination information on the display and configured to operate the plurality of ground engaging units based on the inclinometer signal or the boom position signal.
