Abstract

A method for automatically adjusting the position of an implement of a lift assembly of a work vehicle includes determining a tilt transition boom angle for the lift assembly, determining a closed-loop control signal associated with controlling movement of the implement based at least in part on the tilt transition boom angle, generating a valve command signal based at least in part on the closed-loop control signal, and controlling an operation of at least one valve associated with the implement based at least in part on the valve command signal to maintain the implement at a target implement angle as a boom of the lift assembly is being moved across a boom travel range.
