a chassis;
a blade including a wing and a central portion;
a linkage system connected to the chassis and to the blade, wherein the linkage system is configured to position of the blade with respect to the chassis;
an operator control adapted to provide a blade positioning signal; and
a controller operatively connected to the operator control and to the linkage system, the controller including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions and the processor is configured to execute the stored program instructions to:
identify a wing position of the wing when inclined with respect to the central portion of the blade based on the blade positioning signal;
identify a commanded blade position based on the blade positioning signal received from the operator control; and
automatically adjust a pitch of the blade based on the wing position when inclined and the blade positioning signal, wherein the automatically adjusting the pitch of the blade aligns a cutting edge of the wing and a cutting edge of the central portion of the blade substantially along a plane.
