Abstract: A system for determining the remaining fatigue life of a shear pin of a ground engaging system of an agricultural implement may include a ground-engaging system having an attachment structure coupled to a frame of the implement, a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure, a shear pin prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool, and a biasing element configured to bias the ground-engaging tool towards a ground-engaging position. The system may further include at least one sensor configured to generate data indicative of a load on at least one component of the ground-engaging system, and a controller configured to determine a remaining fatigue life of the shear pin based at least in part on the data indicative of the load on the at least one component of the ground-engaging system.

Abstract: A system for controlling vegetation within a field may include an implement frame and a ground-engaging tool supported on the implement frame. The ground-engaging tool may, in turn, be configured to perform an agricultural operation on the field as the implement frame is moved across the field. Furthermore, the system may include an electrode supported on the implement frame. As such, when a plant within the field contacts the electrode as the implement frame is moved across the field, an electric current is discharged from the electrode into the plant.
