Abstract: A method for operating a twin-row metering system including a first seed meter and a second seed meter. Each of the first seed meter and the second seed meter includes a motor with a driveshaft and a seed disc operably coupled with the motor via the driveshaft. The method includes a step of measuring a position of the driveshaft of the first motor. An additional step includes measuring a position of the driveshaft of the second motor. An additional step includes determining an angular offset between the position of the driveshaft of the first motor and a position of the driveshaft of the second motor. And a further step includes adjusting a rotational speed of the driveshaft of the second motor based on the determined angular offset.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a seed meter. The method comprises a step of providing the seed meter and a calibration disc. The seed meter comprises a motor with a driveshaft, and the driveshaft is configured to be positioned by the motor in an uncorrected home position. An additional step includes engaging the calibration disc with the seed meter, with the calibration disc including a plurality of indicia on a surface of the calibration disc. A further step includes identifying a corrected home position for the driveshaft, with such identifying step including determining, via the calibration disc's indicia, an angular offset between the uncorrected home position and the corrected home position of the driveshaft.

Abstract: A control system for a tillage implement broadly includes front and rear sensors, a leveling assembly, and a controller. The front sensor is positioned on a front of a central section, wherein the front sensor is configured to obtain height information indicative of a height of the front of the central section above a ground. The rear sensor is positioned on a rear of the central section, wherein the rear sensor is configured to obtain height information indicative of a height of the rear of the central section above the ground. The leveling assembly is configured to adjust a front to rear orientation of the central section. The controller is configured to receive the height information from the front sensor and the height information from the rear sensor, and to provide instructions to the leveling assembly to adjust the front to rear orientation of the central section based on the received height information.

Abstract: An agricultural implement broadly includes a ground-engaging tool, a time-of-flight sensor, and a controller. The time-of-flight sensor is configured to obtain information indicative of seed parameters, furrow parameters, and/or soil condition parameters. The controller is configured to process the information obtained by the time-of-flight sensor to generate the parameters, wherein the controller is further configured to automatically control operation of one or more components of the implement based on the parameters.
