An automated backslope cutting system which, based on a survey of an area, automatically adjusts a scraper blade during the cutting of a ditch backslope. The automated backslope cutting system generally includes a scraper which is automatically adjusted by a computing device to effectuate cutting of backslopes for a ditch based on a desired cut profile. The desired cut profile may be manually entered by the operator and automatically processed by the computing device. The area is surveyed with a positioning sensor to determine an optimal desired cut profile requiring a minimum number of cuts. A proximity sensor may be provided to accommodate for rotational movement of the cutting blade as the scraper performs cuts. A control software is provided for execution by the computing device to provide functionality including the automatic adjustment of hydraulic actuators controlling movement of the cutting blade as the scraper cuts the ditch and backslopes. 1. A method of automatically cutting a ditch , comprising:receiving a desired cut profile to cut a ditch in a ground surface by a computing device, wherein the desired cut profile is based on a survey of the ground surface;controlling an actuator with the computing device, the actuator being connected to a scraper so as to adjust a cutting blade of the scraper; andautomatically adjusting the actuator by the computing device as the scraper traverses the ground surface based on the desired cut profile such that the cutting blade of the scraper cuts the ditch in the ground surface.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is communicatively interconnected with a proximity sensor.3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising the step of detecting rotational movement of the scraper as the scraper passes over the ground surface by the computing device.4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising the step of adjusting the actuator by the computing device to account for any rotational movement of the scraper as ...
