Abstract
A system for determining a plurality of dump locations for a blade includes a position sensor and a controller configured to determine the position of a work surface and determine a plurality of dump locations along a path between a start location and an end location based upon the position of the work surface and a desired target. Adjacent pairs of dump locations define a load spacing distance and each load spacing distance is sequentially longer along the work surface closer to the start location.
