Abstract
A tire inflation system for a work vehicle includes a controller with a memory and a processor, where the controller is configured to perform an iterative process until a stopping condition is reached. The iterative process includes receiving a tire pressure sensor signal indicative of a tire pressure a one tire, receiving a draft load sensor signal indicative of a draft load on the work vehicle, determining a draft load difference between the draft load and a maximum draft load, and outputting a target tire pressure output signal indicative of instructions to adjust the tire pressure of the tire in response to determining that the draft load difference is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. The stopping condition includes determining that the draft load difference is less than the first threshold value, determining that a variation in the draft load between iterations is less than a second threshold value, determining that a maximum runtime is reached, and determining that a maximum number of iterations is reached.
