System and method for reducing variations in the penetration depths of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement based on monitored tire pressures

A system for reducing variations in the penetration depths between ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement, the system comprising:

• an implement including a frame and first and second ground-engaging tools coupled to the frame so as to be spaced apart from one another along a horizontal direction, the first and second ground-engaging tools being configured to penetrate the ground to a penetration depth, the implement further including first and second tires coupled to the frame and spaced apart from each other along the horizontal direction;
• a first pressure sensor provided in operative association with the first tire for detecting an air pressure within the first tire;
• a second pressure sensor provided in operative association with the second tire for detecting an air pressure within the second tire;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the first and second pressure sensors, the controller being configured to monitor an air pressure differential between the first and second tires based on measurement signals received from the first and second pressure sensors, the monitored air pressure differential being indicative of variability in the penetration depths of the first and second ground-engaging tools,
• wherein the controller is configured to initiate a control action associated with reducing the variability in the penetration depths of the first and second ground-engaging tools when the monitored air pressure differential exceeds or falls below a predetermined tire pressure differential threshold set for the implement.
