Method and system for controlling a vehicle for loading or digging material

A method for controlling a vehicle for a digging operation, the method comprising:

• detecting a first torque level of torque applied to at least one wheel of the vehicle, the first torque level associated with a lower boom position of a boom associated with the vehicle;
• raising the boom from the lower boom position associated with the vehicle to raise an available torque from the first torque level responsive to determining that the first torque level exceeds a first torque threshold;
• detecting an acceleration level of the boom during or after raising the boom;
• and
• upwardly rotating or curling a bucket associated with the vehicle responsive to determining that the detected acceleration level of the boom is less than a minimum level during an attempt to raise the boom.
