Summary:A system for setting a dump height of a work implement includes a linkage assembly and a linkage position sensor. In one embodiment, a controller stores an identifying code corresponding to the dump body, stores a desired dump height, associates the desired dump height with the identifying code, and subsequently receives the identifying code. In another embodiment, the controller stores a plurality of linkage positions corresponding to a plurality of desired dump heights, receives data indicative of a minimum lifting height of the dump body, and determines a desired dump height at which the linkage assembly is to be positioned. In both embodiments, the controller generates a command to position the linkage assembly at the desired dump height and generates a command to dump material within the material engaging work implement into the dump body.
