Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for automatic unloading of harvested material from a grain cart to storage compartment(s). In response to activation of the system by an operator, harvested material can be automatically unloaded into the storage compartment based on a predetermined fill profile. The fill profile can provide an indication of the maximum height, weight, and distribution profile(s), among other information, for the one or more piles of the harvested material that are to be formed in the storage compartment. Information provided from a sensor can be utilized by a controller to determine whether adjustments are to be made during the unloading of the harvested material so as to attain the fill profile. Such adjustments can relate to the rate, quantity, and/or location at which harvested material is being unloaded into the storage compartment, as well as a speed and direction of travel of the grain cart.
