A control system for a steering a work machine is disclosed. The control system may include a steering input device configured to steer a lead machine module and an articulation module disposed between the lead machine module and a trailing machine module. The control system may further include a first articulation cylinder and a second articulation cylinder configured to actuate between a first and second cylinder first position and a first and second cylinder second position. Furthermore, an electronic controller in communication with the first and second articulation cylinders and programmed to transmit a control signal such that the first actuation cylinder actuates between the first actuation cylinder first position and the first actuation cylinder second position and the second actuation cylinder actuates between the second actuation cylinder first position and the second actuation cylinder second position.
