Abstract: A guidance system for a work vehicle is provided. In one example, the guidance system includes indicator lights positioned on control levers of the work vehicle and a position sensor for detecting various positions of a work tool coupled to the work vehicle. The guidance system can receive sensor signals from the position sensor and responsively activate (i) one indicator light when the work tool is positioned adjacent to a target horizontal position and (ii) another indicator light when the work tool is positioned at the target horizontal position.
