Abstract
An agricultural implement includes a disk blade assembly including a hanger, a first disk blade, and a second disk blade. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes a fastener coupling the hanger to a frame member of the agricultural implement. Additionally, the agricultural implement includes a first load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a first load applied to the fastener at a forward side of the frame member by the disk blade assembly. Moreover, the agricultural implement includes a second load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a second load applied to the fastener at the aft side of the frame member by the disk blade assembly. In addition, the agricultural implement includes a computing system configured to determine when at least one of a first disk blade bearing or a second disk blade bearing has failed based on the data generated by the first and second load sensors.
