Abstract
An agricultural implement includes a basket assembly configured to roll relative to a surface of a field as the agricultural implement travels across the field. The basket assembly, in turn, includes a plurality of bars spaced circumferentially about an outer perimeter of the basket assembly. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes an ultrasonic sensor configured to emit ultrasonic signals directed at the basket assembly and receive return signals based on reflections of the ultrasonic signals off of the basket assembly. Additionally, the agricultural implement includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the ultrasonic sensor. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine when the basket assembly is plugged based on at least one of the return signals being received by the ultrasonic sensor or a lack of return signals being received by the ultrasonic sensor for an agricultural implement.
