Residue manager adjustment system and method

A method for an agricultural operation, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a sensor system remote from one or more ground-engaging tools, data indicative of a first soil characteristic;
• receiving, from the sensor system, data indicative of a first height of an on-row path relative to a frame and a second height of an off-set path relative to the frame, the one or more ground-engaging tools operably coupled with the frame;
• determining, with a computing system, a first probability of a first penetration variation of a first ground-engaging tool relative to a respective depth range for the first ground-engaging tool based on a difference between a detected height and a defined depth range, wherein the detected height is based on the first height and the second height;
• and
• performing a control action based at least in part on the probability deviating from a defined threshold.

A system for a row unit of a planting implement, the system comprising:

• a frame operably coupled with a toolbar;
• a ground-engaging tool operably coupled with the frame;
• an actuator operably coupled with the frame and the ground-engaging tool;
• a sensor system configured to capture data indicative of a first height of an on-row path relative to the frame and a second height of an off-set path relative to the frame;
• and
• a computing system communicatively coupled to the actuator and the sensor system, the computing system being configured to:
• receive the data indicative of the first height and the second height;
• determine a detected depth of the ground-engaging tool based on a difference between the first height and the second height;
• compare the detected depth to a defined depth range;
• and
• activate the actuator to alter a first position of the ground-engaging tool to a second position of the ground-engaging tool when the detected depth deviates from the defined depth range.
