1. A method of operating a work machine, comprising:
- sensing at least one operational characteristic of a work tool indicative of current work tool performance; and
altering the operation of the work machine in response to the sensing to maintain a desired relationship between the at least one operational characteristic of the work tool and at least one operational characteristic of the work machine.

Abstract
A method of operating a work machine includes sensing at least one operational characteristic of a work tool indicative of current work tool performance. The method also includes altering the operation of the work machine in response to the sensing to maintain a desired relationship between the at least one operational characteristic of the work tool and at least one operational characteristic of the work machine.
