A system for monitoring the levelness of a multi-wing agricultural implement may include a central frame section, a wing section pivotably coupled to the central frame section and a field contour sensor configured to generate data indicative of a contour of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the implement relative to a direction of travel of the implement. The system may further include a controller communicatively coupled to the field contour sensor. The controller may be configured to monitor the data received from the field contour sensor and assess a levelness of the implement based at least in part on the contour of the aft portion of the field.

In one aspect, a system for determining soil levelness as an agricultural implement is being towed across a field by a work vehicle may include a vision-based sensor configured to capture vision data associated with a portion of the field present within a field of view of the vision-based sensor. A controller of the system may be configured to receive, from the vision-based sensor, the vision data associated with the portion of the field present within the field of view of the vision-based sensor. Additionally, the controller may be configured to determine a soil levelness of the portion of the field present within the field of view of the vision-based sensor based on a spectral analysis of the received vision data.

A method of controlling tilt of an agricultural implement being towed by a tow vehicle along a field includes providing a controller, a first sensor, a second sensor, and an actuator coupled to the implement. The method includes detecting a baseline level of the tow vehicle with the first sensor at a first location in the field, wherein the implement is located at a second location in the field spaced rearward of the first location. The controller determines when the implement will be at the first location in the field, and an implement level of the implement is measured with the second sensor once the implement is at the first location. The implement level is compared to the baseline level with the controller. The controller determines if the difference between the implement level and baseline level is within a tolerance range, and further controls the actuator as needed.

A method for controlling a work vehicle towing an agricultural implement across a field during a tillage operation includes receiving one or more soil compaction parameters of the field, the work vehicle, and/or the implement. The method also includes determining one or more soil compaction levels for the field based on the one or more soil compaction parameters. Further, the method includes determining an estimated yield loss for each location in the field based on the one or more soil compaction levels. Moreover, the method includes generating a prescription map for the field based on the estimated yield loss for each location in the field. In addition, the method includes actively adjusting at least one tillage parameter of at least one of the implement or the work vehicle based on the prescription map during the tillage operation to reduce an actual yield loss of the field.

An apparatus and system for adjustably controlling the position and depth of row closer wheels in no-till planting applications, the apparatus comprising a frame, a piston movably secured at the top to the frame, upper and lower parallel arms disposed about the piston and movably secured at one end to the frame and at the other end to a hub stem, and a set of piston arms each movably secured at the top to one of the upper or lower parallel arms and at the other end to the bottom of the piston. A closing wheel assembly having a closing wheel frame and a set of closing wheels pivotally mounted to a lever on a single axle assembly allows the operator to change the angle at which the closing wheels intersect the ground surface during use. Accordingly, as the angle of the lever is manipulated, the angle of the closing wheel pivotally mounted to that lever changes in the vertical and/or horizontal dimensions.

A cultivator is provided having a tool frame, a mounting bar provided below the tool frame, and a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to and extending below the mounting bar. The mounting bar can be connected to the tool frame by a plurality of mounting brackets and at least one adjustment mounting bracket. The mounting brackets allowing the mounting bar to be moved laterally relative to the tool frame and the at least one adjustment mounting bar allowing for the lateral adjustment of the mounting bar and ground engaging tools relative to the tool frame.
