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 perform a coarse analysis along a path based upon the position of the work surface and a coarse analysis parameter threshold to select a selected coarse analysis increment. The controller is further configured to perform a fine analysis along the selected coarse analysis increment based upon the position of the work surface and a fine analysis parameter threshold to select the optimized cut location.
