Abstract: A work machine and method for a work machine with an open center hydraulic system for controlling actuation of an implement includes an implement control valve, an electro-hydraulically controlled pump, a hydraulic circuit coupled to the implement actuator, and a pressure transducer positioned for measuring a pressure in the hydraulic circuit between the pump and the implement control valve. A calibration system for calibrating the pump includes a controller having a non-transitory computer readable medium having a program instruction for causing a processor to calibrate a first pump threshold for the pump in a pump-flow curve wherein the first pump threshold including a minimum pump control signal to actuate the pump; determine a hysteresis band in the pump-flow curve; and calibrate a second pump threshold for the pump in the pump-flow curve wherein the second pump threshold including a maximum pump control signal to actuate the pump below a relief setpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for inhibiting the bridging of a work vehicle. A method adjusts a position of an implement of a work vehicle to inhibit a bridging of the work vehicle. The method includes: receiving, by a processor associated with the work vehicle, a chassis pitch angle associated with a chassis of the work vehicle from the Grade Control System; determining, by the processor, whether the chassis pitch angle is greater than a predefined threshold; receiving, by the processor, a current height of the implement relative to a grade from the Grade Control System; determining, by the processor, an offset to move the implement to a height above the grade based on the current height of the implement; and outputting, by the processor, the offset to the Grade Control System to move the implement to inhibit the bridging of the work vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a position of an implement of a work vehicle to control a load on the work vehicle. The implement is movable by a hydraulic circuit controlled by a Grade Control System. The method includes: determining, by a processor of the work vehicle, a slip condition associated with the work vehicle; determining, by the processor, an engine speed condition associated with the work vehicle; determining, by the processor, an offset to adjust the position of the implement based on at least one of the slip condition and the engine speed condition; and outputting the offset to the Grade Control System to adjust the position of the implement based on the offset to control the load on the work vehicle.
