Abstract
A farming vehicle is configured to automatically raise and lower an implement for the farming vehicle. The farming vehicle may measure a duration to lower the implement during a calibration period or during the first time the farming vehicle lowers the implement to operate on a field. When entering the headland to turn around between rows, the farming vehicle may raise the implement after determining that the entire implement is located within the headland. Based on the determined amount of time to lower the implement, the farming vehicle may begin lowering the implement with sufficient time such that the implement is fully lowered just prior to exiting the headland and returning onto the field.
