In one aspect, a system for monitoring the frame levelness of an agricultural implement may include an implement frame and first and second seedbed detection assemblies coupled to the implement frame. Each of the seedbed detection assemblies may include a seedbed tool configured to ride along a seedbed floor as the implement frame is moved across a field in a forward travel direction. Each of the seedbed detection assemblies may also include a seedbed floor sensor configured to capture data indicative of a position of the corresponding seedbed tool relative to the implement frame. Furthermore, the system may include a controller configured to monitor positions of the seedbed detection assemblies relative to the implement frame based on data received from the seedbed floor sensors of the first and second seedbed detection assemblies, respectively.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that measure crop residue in a field from imagery of the field. In particular, the present subject matter is directed to systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned convolutional neural network to determine a level of crop residue for a portion of a field based at least in part on imagery of such portion of the field captured by an imaging device. For example, the imaging device can be a camera positioned in a downward-facing direction and physically coupled to a work vehicle or an implement towed by the work vehicle through the field.

A method for controlling the actuation of wing sections of an agricultural implement may include regulating a supply of hydraulic fluid to a wing actuator coupled to a wing section to pivot the wing section relative to a center frame section of the implement from a transport position towards a work position. The method may also include monitoring a wheel load associated with at least one wheel of the wing section as the wing section is being moved towards the work position and detecting when the wheel(s) of the wing section contacts the ground based at least in part on the monitored wheel load. In addition, the method may include adjusting one or more flow parameters of the supply of hydraulic fluid to the wing actuator to reduce an actuation rate at which the wing section is being pivoted after detecting that wheel(s) has contacted the ground.

A system includes an agricultural implement, a sensor, and a control system. The agricultural implement is configured to be coupled to an agricultural vehicle. The sensor is coupled to the agricultural implement and configured to output a signal indicative of a current pitch angle of the agricultural implement. The control system is configured to receive the signal indicative of the current pitch angle from the sensor, determine an anticipated pitch angle for traversing an upcoming topographical feature, define an anticipated pitch angle range based on the anticipated pitch angle, determine whether the current pitch angle is within the anticipated pitch angle range, generate a hitch height control signal indicative of instructions to predictively adjust a hitch height actuator if the current pitch angle is not within the anticipated pitch angle range, and communicate the hitch height control signal.

A system for hydraulically leveling a multi-wing agricultural implement having a pressure regulating valve and a folding valve fluidly coupled in parallel between a supply line, configured to provide a supply pressure of hydraulic fluid, and an actuator, configured to move an outer-wing section of the implement between a transport position and a fully-extended position. Specifically, when fluid is supplied to the actuator via the pressure regulating valve, only a portion of the supply pressure is allowed through the pressure regulating valve to the actuator such that the outer-wing section may pivot towards a position where the outer-wing section is substantially level with the inner-wing section. When hydraulic fluid is supplied to the actuator via the folding valve, the outer-wing section is actuated towards the transport position. When hydraulic fluid is supplied to the actuator via the leveling valve, the outer-wing section is leveled relative to the inner-wing section.
