Abstract
An agricultural implement system includes: a work vehicle with an engine carried by a vehicle chassis and a PTO coupler coupled to the engine; an agricultural implement including a power take-off coupled to the PTO coupler, a feeder configured to feed crop material, a pickup configured to convey crop material to the feeder, and a plug sensor associated with at least one of the feeder or the pickup and configured to output a plug signal; and a control system including a controller coupled to the plug sensor. The controller is configured to: receive the plug signal to determine a plug condition exists; output a PTO decouple signal when the plug condition exists; output a stop signal when the plug condition exists; and output a plug clear signal so the power take-off is recoupled to the PTO coupler and the work vehicle resumes moving when the plug condition no longer exists.
