1. A system for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle, the system comprising:

  • a track assembly including a track, a drive wheel configured to rotationally drive the track and at least one secondary wheel configured to engage the track;

    a controller including one or more processors and associated memory, the memory storing instructions that, when implemented by the one or more processors, configure the controller to;

    receive one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for at least one of the track or the at least one secondary wheel;

    compare the operating temperature to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the at least one of the track or the at least one secondary wheel; and

    automatically limit a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.
