Work tool cleaning system and method for work vehicles

A method of removing material from a work tool on a vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an electronic processor, a signal from an operator control;
• and
• automatically moving the work tool in a cleaning sequence, the cleaning sequence comprising the steps of
• actuating a first movement actuator causing the first end portion of the work tool to move in a first direction,
• actuating a second movement actuator causing the second end portion of the work tool to move in a second direction,
• actuating the first movement actuator causing the first end portion of the work tool to move in the second direction, and
• actuating the second movement actuator causing the second end portion of the work tool to move in the first direction.

A work vehicle that moves material, the work vehicle comprising:

• a work tool coupled with the work vehicle where the work tool is capable of moving the material;
• an operator control coupled with the work vehicle;
• a first movement actuators movably coupling a first end portion of the work tool with the work vehicle;
• a second movement actuator movable coupling a second end portion of the work tool with the work vehicle;
• an electronic processor in communication with the operator control and the two or more movement actuators, wherein the electronic processor is configured to
• receive, by the electronic processor, a signal from the operator control;
• and
• automatically move the work tool in a cleaning sequence, the cleaning sequence comprising the steps of
• actuating the first movement actuator causing the first end portion of the work tool to move in a first direction,
• actuating the second movement actuator causing the second end portion of the work tool to move in a second direction,
• actuating the first movement actuator causing the first end portion of the work tool to move in the second direction, and
• actuating the second movement actuator causing the second end portion of the work tool to move in the first direction.
