Zusammenfassung:In one aspect, a system for de-plugging an agricultural implement may include an actuator coupled between a ground-engaging tool of the implement and a frame of the implement. The actuator maybe configured to move the ground-engaging tool relative to the frame between a first position in which the tool penetrates the soil and a second position in which the tool is lifted out of the soil. Furthermore, the system may include a sensor configured to capture data indicative of plugging of the ground-engaging tool. Additionally, a controller of the disclosed system may be configured to determine when the ground-engaging tool is plugged based on the data received from the sensor. Moreover, the controller may be further configured to control an operation of the actuator such that the ground-engaging tool is moved from the first position to the second position when it is determined that the tool is plugged.
