A method for adjusting the lateral tilt of a harvester header (22) includes receiving, at a control system (26), a plurality of output signals from a plurality of transducers (34-38) determining, by the control system, at least one adjustment signal determining, by the control system, a rate for transmitting the at least one adjustment signal transmitting, by the control system, the at least one adjustment signal at the determined rate to at least one adjustment mechanism (32, 39, 40) operably connected to control system and adjusting, by the at least one adjustment mechanism, the lateral tilt of the harvester header (22) in response to the at least one adjustment signal. The rate for transmitting the signal is determined based upon one or more of a forward speed of the harvester, the weight of the harvester header (22), and an input selection made by an operator of the harvester.
