FRAME CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT

A frame control system for an agricultural implement (10) includes a first sensor (62) coupled to a sub-frame (41) of the agricultural implement (10) and directed toward a soil surface (30). The first sensor (62) emits a first output signal (66) toward the soil surface (30) and to receive a first re...

More Information
Summary:A frame control system for an agricultural implement (10) includes a first sensor (62) coupled to a sub-frame (41) of the agricultural implement (10) and directed toward a soil surface (30). The first sensor (62) emits a first output signal (66) toward the soil surface (30) and to receive a first return signal indicative of a first height of the sub-frame (41) above the soil surface (30). The system also includes a first sub-frame actuator (84) configured to be coupled to the sub-frame (41) and to a main frame (14). The first sub-frame actuator (84) is configured to control a first position of the sub-frame (41) relative to the main frame (14) along a vertical axis (25). The system includes a controller (104) configured to control the first sub-frame actuator (84) such that a difference between the first height and a target height is less than a threshold value.
