Abstract: A work vehicle includes a vehicle frame and an operator control station coupled to the vehicle frame. An implement arm assembly is affixed to the vehicle frame outside the operator control station. The implement arm assembly is movable relative to the vehicle frame and the operator control station. The implement arm assembly has an exterior surface. The work vehicle includes at least one sensor to detect positional information of the implement arm assembly. A visual indicator is positioned on the exterior surface. A power source of the work vehicle is in selective communication with the visual indicator to power the visual indicator. The work vehicle further includes a controller to receive a signal from the at least one sensor indicative of the positional information and electrically couple the power source to the visual indicator in response to a portion of the implement am assembly reaching a threshold position.
