Abstract
A tillage implement includes a computing system configured to determine the total load being applied to a disk gang of the implement based on data generated by the one or more load sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a normalized number of disks on the disk gang based on the surface area of each disk on the disk gang that is in contact with soil in a field across which the tillage implement is traveling. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine an average load per disk being applied to the disk gang based on the determined total load and the determined normalized number of disks. In addition, the computing system is configured to determine an operational status of the tillage implement based on the determined average load per disk.
