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. <EOS>
