1. A system, comprising:
- an agricultural implement configured to be coupled to an agricultural vehicle;
a sensor coupled to the agricultural implement and configured to output a signal indicative of a pitch angle of the agricultural implement; and
a control system configured to;
receive the signal indicative of the pitch angle from the sensor;
determine whether the pitch angle is within a pitch angle range;
generate a hitch height control signal indicative of instructions to adjust a hitch actuator if the pitch angle is not within the pitch angle range; and
communicate the hitch height control signal.

Abstract
A system includes an agricultural implement, a sensor, and a control system. The agricultural implement is configured to be coupled to an agricultural vehicle. The sensor is coupled to the agricultural implement and configured to output a signal indicative of a pitch angle of the agricultural implement. The control system is configured to receive the signal indicative of the pitch angle from the sensor, determine whether the pitch angle is within a pitch angle range, generate a hitch height control signal indicative of instructions to adjust a hitch actuator if the pitch angle is not within the pitch angle range, and communicate the hitch height control signal.
