Agricultural system and method for monitoring yaw of towed agricultural implements

An agricultural system for monitoring yaw of an agricultural implement towed by an agricultural work vehicle, the agricultural system comprising:

• an agricultural implement, the agricultural implement being a tillage implement comprising:
• a frame connectable to an agricultural work vehicle;
• a first plurality of disks supported on the frame, each of the first plurality of disks being angled leftward relative to a longitudinal direction of the frame such that an axis of rotation of each of the first plurality of disks is angled relative to a plane defined by the longitudinal direction and a lateral direction of the agricultural implement, the first plurality of disks configured to engage a field at a first penetration depth;
• and a second plurality of disks supported on the frame, each of the second plurality of disks being angled rightward relative to the longitudinal direction such that an axis of rotation of each of the second plurality of disks is angled relative to the plane defined by the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction each of the first plurality of disks being angled leftward relative to a longitudinal direction of the frame, each of the second plurality of disks being angled rightward relative to the longitudinal direction, the first plurality of disks configured to engage a field at a first penetration depth, the second plurality of disks configured to engage the field at a second penetration depth, the first plurality of disks being spaced apart from the second plurality of disks along one or both of the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction;
• an orientation sensor supported on the agricultural implement, the orientation sensor being configured to generate data indicative of yaw of the agricultural implement;
• a computing system communicatively coupled to the orientation sensor, the computing system being configured to:
• receive the data generated by the orientation sensor indicative of the yaw of the agricultural implement;
• determine the yaw of the agricultural implement based at least in part on the data generated by the orientation sensor;
• and
• initiate a control action based at least in part on the yaw of the agricultural implement.
