Abstract
An agricultural system includes an agricultural soil analyzer positioned forward of a ground engaging tool relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural system. The agricultural soil analyzer is configured to output a first signal indicative of a parameter of soil forward of the soil conditioner relative to the direction of travel. The agricultural system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the agricultural soil analyzer. The controller is configured to receive the first signal from the agricultural soil analyzer. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine a target parameter of the agricultural system based on the first signal and to output a second signal indicative of the target parameter.
Claims8
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a ground engaging tool configured to engage an agricultural field;
- an agricultural soil analyzer positioned forward of the ground engaging tool relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural system, wherein the agricultural soil analyzer is configured to output a first signal indicative of a parameter of soil forward of the ground engaging tool relative to the direction of travel;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the agricultural soil analyzer, wherein the controller is configured to receive the first signal from the agricultural soil analyzer, and wherein the controller is configured to determine a target speed of the agricultural system based on the first signal and to output a second signal indicative of the target speed, to determine a target pressure of the ground engaging tool based on the first signal and to output a third signal indicative of the target pressure, to determine a target penetration depth of the ground engaging tool based on the first signal and to output a fourth signal indicative of the target penetration depth, or a combination thereof.
