AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS HAVING ROW UNIT POSITION SENSORS AND A ROTATABLE IMPLEMENT FRAME, AND RELATED CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Last updated:

Abstract:

An implement includes an implement frame having an integrated elongate toolbar carrying at least one row unit, at least one wheel coupled to the implement frame and defining an axis of rotation, a sensor configured to sense a position of the at least one row unit relative to the ground, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive a signal related to the sensed position of the at least one row unit relative to the ground and cause a lift system to raise or lower a portion of the implement frame connected to the lift system to rotate the implement frame about the axis of rotation of the at least one wheel based at least in part on the signal. Control systems and related methods are also disclosed.
