Abstract
A system for detecting disk plugging on a tillage implement includes a main implement frame and a disk frame supported by the main implement frame. Furthermore, the system includes a plurality of disks supported by the disk frame. Each disk is configured to rotate relative to the soil of the field. Additionally, the system includes a load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a draft load being applied to the disk frame by the plurality of disks as the implement traverses the field. Moreover, the system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the load sensor and configured to determine a twisting parameter of the disk frame about the main implement frame based on the data generated by the load sensor. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine when one or more disks are plugged based on the determined twisting parameter.
