The invention is a method for monitoring a work cycle of a earth moving machine on a land site. The method includes the steps of determining a direction of motion of the earth moving machine as being either a forward or a reverse direction of motion, determining a change in the direction of motion to an opposite direction of motion, determining a location of the earth moving machine on the land site where the change in direction of motion occurs, determining a condition of the land site at the location, and determining a work cycle of the earth moving machine in response to the condition.
