A method for providing automatic weight monitoring and control during the performance of a material moving operation by a work vehicle, the work vehicle including a loader arm and an implement coupled to the loader arm, the method being characterized by: receiving, with a computing device, at least one input associated with a first target weight for a first material to be collected within the implement and a second target weight for a second material to be collected within the implement; upon receipt of an indication that the implement has been pushed into a source of the first material, monitoring, with the computing device, a weight of the first material collected within the implement as the implement is being raised relative to the source of the first material; notifying, with the computing device, an operator of the work vehicle when it is determined that the weight of the first material is equal to the first target weight or falls within a first tolerance range associated the first target weight; upon receipt of an indication that the implement has been pushed into a source of the second material, monitoring, with the computing device, a collective weight of the first and second materials as the implement is being raised relative to the source of the second material; determining, with the computing device, a weight of the second material collected within the implement based at least in part on the collective weight of the first and second materials within the implement; and notifying, with the computing device, the operator of the work vehicle when it is determined that the weight of the second material is equal to the second target weight or falls within a second tolerance range associated with the second target weight. receiving, with a computing device, at least one input associated with a first target weight for a first material to be collected within the implement and a second target weight for a second material to be collected within the implement; upon receipt of an indication that the implement has been pushed into a source of the first material, monitoring, with the computing device, a weight of the first material collected within the implement as the implement is being raised relative to the source of the first material; notifying, with the computing device, an operator of the work vehicle when it is determined that the weight of the first material is equal to the first target weight or falls within a first tolerance range associated the first target weight; upon receipt of an indication that the implement has been pushed into a source of the second material, monitoring, with the computing device, a collective weight of the first and second materials as the implement is being raised relative to the source of the second material; determining, with the computing device, a weight of the second material collected within the implement based at least in part on the collective weight of the first and second materials within the implement; and notifying, with the computing device, the operator of the work vehicle when it is determined that the weight of the second material is equal to the second target weight or falls within a second tolerance range associated with the second target weight.
