Implement vibration system and method

An implement vibration system for a vehicle having an implement, the implement vibration system comprising:

• a vibration activation device;
• an operator control that enables the operator to send implement commands to control movement of the implement;
• a shake detection device coupled to the operator control, where the shake detection device generates motion signals to indicate movement of the operator control;
• an electrohydraulic mechanism that controls the movement of the implement;
• an electronic controller that monitors the vibration activation device, receives the implement commands and the motion signals, and sends movement signals to the electrohydraulic mechanism to control movement of the implement where the movement signals are based on the implement commands;
• and
• wherein when the motion signals exceed a motion threshold or the vibration activation device is activated, the electronic controller superimposes vibration signals on the movement signals sent to the electrohydraulic mechanism to cause the implement to vibrate.

An implement vibration method for a vehicle having an implement, the method comprising:

• monitoring a vibration activation device;
• enabling an operator to send implement commands using an operator control to control movement of the implement;
• controlling the movement of the implement with an electrohydraulic mechanism;
• sending, by an electronic controller, movement signals to the electrohydraulic mechanism based on the implement commands;
• and
• when the vibration activation device is activated, superimposing, by the electronic controller, vibration signals on the movement signals sent to the electrohydraulic mechanism to cause the implement to vibrate.
