Abstract
A system for monitoring tilled floor conditions within a field includes a sensor frame and a tilled floor sensing assembly supported on the sensor frame. The assembly, in turn, includes a plurality of pins configured to be extended relative to the sensor frame such that each pin penetrates a top surface of the field. Furthermore, the assembly includes a plurality of position sensors, with each position sensor configured to capture data indicative of a position of a given pin of the plurality of pins relative to the sensor frame. Moreover, the assembly includes a plurality of force sensors, with each force sensor configured to capture data indicative of a force being applied to a given pin of the plurality of pins. Additionally, the data captured by the plurality of position sensors and the data captured by the plurality of force sensors is indicative of a tilled floor profile of the field.
