Abstract
A system for determining an optimized cut location for a work implement includes a position sensor and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the position of a work surface and determine a plurality of potential cut locations along a path between an initial cut location and an end location. The controller is further configured to determine an efficiency for moving an amount of material for each of the initial cut location and the plurality of potential cut locations based upon the amount of material to be moved, a parameter associated with moving the amount of material, and a loading profile, and select the optimized cut location from one of the initial cut location and the plurality of potential cut locations based upon the efficiency of each of the initial cut location and the plurality of potential cut locations.
