System and method for automatically resetting ground engaging tools

A control system for an agricultural implement, comprising:

• a frame actuator configured to control a height of a frame of the agricultural implement relative to a soil surface;
• a sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of performance of a ground engaging tool coupled to the frame of the agricultural implement;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the frame actuator and the sensor, wherein the controller comprises a memory and a processor, the controller is configured to receive the sensor signal from the sensor indicative of the performance of the ground engaging tool, the controller is configured to determine whether the performance of the ground engaging tool is below a threshold performance, and the controller, in response to determining that the performance of the ground engaging tool is below the threshold performance, is configured to:
• output a first signal indicative of instructions to adjust a speed of the agricultural implement from an initial speed to an adjusted speed;
• output a second signal to the frame actuator indicative of instructions to raise the ground engaging tool from a target depth beneath the soil surface to a target raised position in response to the speed of the agricultural implement being substantially equal to a first threshold speed, wherein the first threshold speed is between the initial speed and the adjusted speed, exclusive of the initial speed and inclusive of the adjusted speed;
• output a third signal indicative of instructions to adjust the speed of the agricultural implement from the adjusted speed to the initial speed in response to a position the ground engaging tool being substantially equal to the target raised position;
• and
• output a fourth signal to the frame actuator indicative of instructions to lower the ground engaging tool from the target raised position to the target depth in response to the speed of the agricultural implement being substantially equal to a second threshold speed, wherein the second threshold speed is between the adjusted speed and the initial speed, exclusive of the adjusted speed and inclusive of the initial speed.

A method for controlling an agricultural system, comprising:

• determining, via a controller, whether performance of a ground engaging tool of an agricultural implement of the agricultural system is below a threshold performance;
• outputting, via the controller, a first signal indicative of instructions to adjust a speed of the agricultural system from an initial speed to an adjusted speed in response to determining that the performance of the ground engaging tool is below the threshold performance;
• outputting, via the controller, a second signal indicative of instructions to raise the ground engaging tool from a target depth beneath a soil surface to a target raised position in response to the speed of the agricultural system being substantially equal to a first threshold speed, wherein the first threshold speed is between the initial speed and the adjusted speed, exclusive of the initial speed and inclusive of the adjusted speed;
• outputting, via the controller, a third signal indicative of instructions to adjust the speed of the agricultural system from the adjusted speed to the initial speed in response to a position of the ground engaging tool being substantially equal to the target raised position;
• and
• outputting, via the controller, a fourth signal indicative of instructions to lower the ground engaging tool from the target raised position to the target depth in response to the speed of the agricultural system being substantially equal to a second threshold speed, wherein the second threshold speed is between the adjusted speed and the initial speed, exclusive of the adjusted speed and inclusive of the initial speed.
