An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis, a plurality of ground-engaging elements configured to support the chassis above a ground surface, and a plurality of support assemblies supporting the chassis on the ground-engaging elements. Each support assembly includes a height-adjustment actuator. A controller is configured to adjust the height-adjustment actuators independently of one another and transfer a load from a first ground-engaging element to other ground-engaging elements. A method of operating an agricultural vehicle includes receiving a command to transfer a load from a first ground-engaging element to other ground-engaging elements, adjusting at least one height-adjustment actuator, and transferring a load from the first ground-engaging element to the other ground-engaging elements.
