An agricultural implement includes a main frame, a first frame member assembly coupled to the main frame, and a first plurality of discs coupled to the first frame member assembly. The agricultural implement also includes a first linkage assembly coupled to the first frame member assembly. The agricultural implement further includes a first lateral adjustment mechanism coupled to the first frame member assembly and configured to actuate the first linkage assembly to change a first lateral position of the first plurality of discs relative to at least one other plurality of discs coupled to the main frame or relative to a center line of the main frame, the center line being parallel to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement.

Disc blade spacing adjustment system

A finishing tool control system for an agricultural implement may include a controller communicatively coupled to a first and a second sensor. The controller is configured to control a height of a finishing tool above a soil surface. Further, the first sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of a height of a main frame of the agricultural implement above the soil surface. In response to determining that a height increase of the main frame exceeds a threshold height adjustment, the controller increases the height of the finishing tool. The second sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of the height of the finishing tool of the finishing assembly above the soil surface. Moreover, in response to determining that a height of the finishing assembly above the soil surface is less than a threshold value, the controller increases the height of the finishing tool.

Finishing tool assembly position control system for an agricultural tillage implement

An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis; a storage tank carried by the chassis; and a row unit carried by the chassis. The row unit includes: a row body; an opening blade carried by the row body and configured to open a trench as the row body is carried in a direction of travel; and a closing tandem carried by the row body behind the opening blade that is pivotally movable relative to the row body. The closing tandem includes a closing disc and a press wheel carried behind the closing disc, the closing disc and the press wheel being configured to rotate as the row body is carried in the direction of travel, the closing disc defining a projection path as it rotates, and the press wheel having a treaded surface in the projection path.
