Abstract
A method of determining payload data of a mining machine having a bucket and a handle. The bucket and handle are rotatably coupled via a pin and an actuator. The method includes sensing, via a sensor, a force associated with the actuator, determining, via a controller, a characteristic indicative of a rotational angle of the bucket, and determining, via the controller, payload data based on the force and the characteristic.
