Systems and methods for monitoring implement performance during the performance of an agricultural operation

A system for monitoring the operating performance of agricultural implements, the system comprising:

• an agricultural implement including a plurality of ground-engaging tools;
• at least one field profile sensor supported relative to the agricultural implement, the at least one field profile sensor being configured to generate data associated with a field profile of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the agricultural implement relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement;
• a controller communicatively coupled to the field profile sensor, the controller being configured to:
• receive the data from the at least one field profile sensor associated with the field profile of the aft portion of the field as the agricultural implement is being moved along a first swath of the field during the performance of an agricultural operation, the aft portion comprising both the first swath and a second swath of the field located adjacent the first swath within the field;
• determining one or more profile parameters associated with the first swath and the second swath based at least in part on the data;
• and
• comparing the one or more profile parameters for the first swath to the one or more profile parameters for the second swath to assess an operating performance of the agricultural implement within the field.
