Abstract
A system for a row unit of a planting implement can include a frame. A residue manager assembly can be operably coupled with the frame. The residue manager assembly can include a ground-engaging tool. An actuator can be configured to alter a position of the ground-engaging tool relative to the frame. A sensor assembly can be configured to capture data indicative of a parameter associated with the ground-engaging tool. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the actuator and the sensor assembly. The computing system can be configured to receive the data indicative of the parameter associated with the ground-engaging tool and activate the actuator to alter the position of the ground-engaging tool relative to the frame based on a deviation of the detected position of the ground-engaging tool from a defined tool position range of the ground-engaging tool.
