    Abstract: A downforce control system for a finishing frame of a tillage implement includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The controller is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of vibration of the finishing frame. The finishing frame is configured to be movably coupled to a main frame of the tillage implement and to be urged toward a surface of soil via application of a frame downforce from a frame downforce actuator. The controller is also configured to compare a magnitude of the vibration to a maximum threshold magnitude. Furthermore, the controller is configured to output an information signal to a user interface indicative of the frame downforce applied to the finishing frame being insufficient and/or control the frame downforce actuator to increase the frame downforce applied to the finishing frame in response to determining the magnitude of the vibration is greater than the maximum threshold magnitude.
