Ground engaging tool control system and method

A work vehicle comprising:

• a first ground engaging tool coupled to the work vehicle;
• a second ground engaging tool coupled to the work vehicle forward of the first ground engaging tool;
• a first sensor system configured to detect a position of the first ground engaging tool;
• a second sensor system configured to detect a position of the second ground engaging tool;
• a first actuator system coupled to the first ground engaging tool;
• a second actuator system coupled to the second ground engaging tool;
• and
• an electronic data processor in communication with the first sensor system and the second sensor system and configured to execute a comparison of a current grade profile and a desired grade profile, generate a first control signal for receipt by the first actuator system to adjust the first ground engaging tool to a first target position based on the comparison, and generate a second control signal for receipt by the second actuator system to adjust the second ground engaging tool to a second target position based on a position of the first ground engaging tool and the comparison.
