Zusammenfassung:A mower implement includes a cutter having a blade operable to cut crop material. A blade diagnostic controller is operable to capture an image of cut crop stubble rearward of the cutter with an image sensor. The blade diagnostic controller may then identify a cut end of the cut crop stubble in the image, determine a cut quality of the cut end of the cut crop stubble, and correlate the cut quality of the cut end to a blade sharpness index. The blade diagnostic controller may then communicate an index signal to a communicator to generate a communication indicating the blade sharpness index.
