1. A payload control system for a machine having traction devices, comprising:
- a force sensor configured to measure a force transmitted through the traction devices;
a speed sensor configured to measure a speed of the machine; and
a controller in communication with the force sensor and the speed sensor, the controller being configured to modify a weight limit of the machine based on the measured force and the measured speed.

Abstract
In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a payload control system for a machine having traction devices. The payload control system may have a force sensor configured to measure a force transmitted through the traction devices. The payload control system may also have a speed sensor configured to measure a speed of the machine. The payload control system may further have a controller in communication with the force sensor and the speed sensor. The controller may be configured to modify a weight limit of the machine based on the measured force and the measured speed.
