By providing an electronic sensor in communication with a hydraulic system for adjusting an angle of smoothing tools of a harrow, the angle of the smoothing tools may be continuously monitored by a controller and/or an operator in the tractor cab. This may allow continuous adjustment of the smoothing tools during a tilling session in order to provide the most aggressive setting for optimum field leveling and residue flow based on field conditions.

By providing a control system in communication with a hydraulic system for adjusting an angle of smoothing tools of a harrow, and a communications system for determining a present geographic location of the tillage implement in communication with the control system, the angle of the smoothing tools can be adjusted according to presently determined coordinate locations on a map which indicates amounts of plant residue. This may allow an automated process in which smoothing tools can be continuously adjusted during a tilling session in order to provide the most aggressive setting for optimum field leveling and residue flow based on field conditions.

An agricultural system can include an implement including a frame assembly. A basket assembly can be operably coupled with the frame assembly. A basket actuator can be operably coupled with the basket assembly and the frame assembly. The basket actuator can be configured to alter a position of the basket assembly relative to the frame assembly. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the basket actuator. The computing system can include a processor and associated memory, the memory stores instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the computing system to receive a defined output characteristic, receive data indicative of a determined clay content of soil within the field, and determine a defined basket actuator position based at least partially on the clay content of the soil within the field and the defined output characteristic.

A closing wheel system for a seeder unit comprising a pair of closing wheels, each closing wheel comprising a coil member having a first end and a second end and a plurality of coil windings extending therebetween. The system comprising a base plate having a first surface and a second surface to which the second end of the coil member may extend around a periphery of the base plate. The system comprising an axle member extending through the base plate and having a free end extending from the base plate for engagement with the support arm, and a pair of wedge washer members mounted on the free end. The wedge washer members may engage with the support arm such that the wedge washers members engage with the support arm such that the axle member is caused to extend downward to orientate the closing wheels with respect to the support arm.
