Abstract
A tillage implement includes a plurality of disk gangs, with each disk gang including a shaft and a plurality of disks spaced apart from each other along the shaft. Furthermore, the tillage implement includes a plurality of load sensors configured to generate data indicative of loads being applied to the plurality of disk gangs and a computing system communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine a total load being applied to each disk gang based on the data generated by the plurality of load sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine an average load per disk being applied to each disk gang based on the determined total loads. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a plug status value for each disk gang based on the determined average loads per disk.
