Abstract
A system for directing the movement of a grain transfer element. The system includes a torque sensor and a processor. The torque sensor is configured to detect a torque of a drivetrain configured to drive the transfer element. The processor is configured to compare the detected torque to a torque threshold, and direct the movement of the transfer element between a folded position and an unloading position. The directed movement of the transfer element is based at least in part on a result of the comparison of the detected torque and the torque threshold.
