1. A method performed by a processor, comprising:
identifying a command to move an implement of a work machine in a particular direction and an amount of time for the implement to move in the particular direction,
determining, based on a previously determined velocity of the implement moving in the particular direction, an estimated velocity of the implement moving in the particular direction;
determining, based on the amount of time and the estimated velocity, a predicted travel distance of the implement in the particular direction;
causing, based on a stop position associated with the particular direction and the predicted travel distance of the implement in the particular direction, the implement to move from a current position to a reset position; and
causing the command to be executed to cause the implement to move, in the particular direction and for the amount of time, from the reset position to another position without hitting the stop position associated with the particular direction.
