Abstract
An air cart for an agricultural air seeding system includes a frame; at least one tank for holding a material, and a metering system associated with the at least one tank. The metering system is configured for metering the material from the at least one tank at an output rate. A sensor senses a parameter associated with an angular orientation of the air cart relative to a reference plane, and provides an output signal indicative of the angular orientation. An actuator adjusts an output rate of the metering system and moves at least one of the at least one tank and the metering system relative to the frame. A controller is coupled with each of the actuator and the sensor and receives the output signal from the sensor. The controller is configured for controlling the actuator and adjusting the output rate of the metering system, dependent upon the output signal.
