Abstract: A system for identifying a failed shear pin of a ground-engaging system of an agricultural implement may include a ground-engaging system having an attachment structure coupled to a frame of an agricultural implement, a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure at a pivot joint, and a shear pin at least partially extending through the attachment structure and the ground-engaging tool to prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool about the pivot joint. The system may further include an operator notification member provided in association with the ground-engaging system and movable between a non-triggered position and a triggered position. Additionally, the system may include a linkage that, upon failure of the shear pin, allows the operator notification member to be moved from the non-triggered position to the triggered position.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for automatically leveling an agricultural implement being towed by a work vehicle includes receiving data associated with a field profile of a forward portion of a field positioned in front of the work vehicle relative to a direction of travel of the work vehicle, and identifying an inclined surface within the forward portion of the field that the work vehicle will encounter as the work vehicle tows the agricultural implement across the field based at least in part on the data. The method also includes determining one or more control actions to maintain an inclination angle of the agricultural implement within a predetermined angular inclination range based at least in part on the identification of the inclined surface, and executing the one or more control actions as at least one of the work vehicle or the agricultural implement travels across the inclined surface.

Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a shank assembly having an attachment section and a ground-engaging shank. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes first and second fasteners coupling the attachment section to a frame member of the agricultural implement. Additionally, the agricultural implement includes a first load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a first load being applied to the first fastener by the shank assembly. Moreover, the agricultural implement includes a second load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a second load being applied to the second fastener by the shank assembly. In addition, the agricultural implement includes a computing system configured to determine when the ground-engaging shank is bent based on the data generated by the first and second load sensors.

Abstract: An agricultural system includes a vehicle configured to perform one or more passes across a field, and a field characteristics sensor supported on the vehicle, spaced apart from a surface of the field during the one or more passes, with the field characteristics sensor being configured to generate data indicative of at least one characteristic of the field below the surface of the field. Further, the agricultural system includes an actuator selectively controllable to move the field characteristics sensor relative to the vehicle. Moreover, the agricultural system includes at least one distance sensor supported on the vehicle and configured to generate distance data indicative of a distance between the field characteristics sensor and the surface of the field. Additionally, the agricultural system includes a computing system configured to receive the distance data and initiate a control action based at least in part on the distance data.

Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a computing system is configured to identify a plurality of residue pieces present within the portion of the field based on the image data generated by the imaging device. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine a number of residue pieces having a length within a first length range and a number of residue pieces of the identified plurality of residue pieces having a length within a second length range. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a characteristic length range for the portion of the field, with the characteristic length range corresponding to one of the first length range or the second length range having the greatest number of residue pieces associated therewith. Moreover, the computing system is configured to provide a notification associated with the determined characteristic length range to an operator of the agricultural implement.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system for monitoring crop fill-levels of transport receptacles, includes a crop transport receptacle defining a storage volume including at least a first sub-region and a second sub-region. The system also includes first and second fill-level sensors having fields of view directed towards harvested crops contained within the first and second sub-regions of the storage volume, respectively. In addition, the system includes a computing system configured to determine a first fill-level value associated with a fill-level of the first sub-region based on data received from the first fill-level sensor and a second fill-level value associated with a fill-level of the second sub-region based on data received from the second fill-level sensor. The computing system is further configured to determine an estimated fill-level value associated with at least a portion of the storage volume including the sub-regions based on the first and second fill-level values.
