Abstract: A ground working vehicle having a vehicle frame (102) is disclosed. An implement (114) is coupled to the vehicle frame (102) and extends between a first implement end and a second implement end. The implement (114) is adjusted to alter the rake angle between the first and second implement ends, to modify internal dimensions of the implement (114), and/or to include a kick-down baffle. Further, the implement (114) may be adjusted manually, remotely, or automatically. For example, one or more actuators (150) can be coupled to the implement (114) to adjust as desired by the user. Further, one or controllers (152) can automatically adjust the implement (114). Specifically, the implement (114) is adjusted to optimize operating parameters such as, e.g., runtime of the vehicle and/or quality of cut.
