Abstract
An agricultural machine includes a lifting apparatus to which an implement or tool is attached. A control system controls the lifting apparatus in response to sensed parameters and operator inputs. The control system includes a first acceleration sensor positioned on the lifting apparatus and/or on the implement, and at least one reference acceleration sensor positioned on the vehicle. The control system includes an electronic control unit which processes acceleration signals from the acceleration sensors and generates a lift apparatus or implement position signal as a function thereof.
