An unloading control system accesses a weight/mass versus position fill profile for an identified container. The unloading control system generates control signals to position the material transfer vehicle so that an initial landing point of material in the container is at a desired positioned based upon the fill profile. The unloading control system generates control signals to unload material into the container according to the weight/mass versus position fill profile and obtains an indicated of the weight/mass of material transferred. The control system generates control signals to control the landing point of material in the container based upon the fill profile and the weight/mass of material transferred.
A computer implemented method, comprising:
An agricultural operation control system for controlling an unloading operation to unload material from a material transfer vehicle to a container, the agricultural operation control system comprising:
A material transfer vehicle that transfers material to a container, the material transfer vehicle comprising:
