Abstract
A finishing tool control system for an agricultural implement may include a controller communicatively coupled to a first and a second sensor. The controller is configured to control a height of a finishing tool above a soil surface. Further, the first sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of a height of a main frame of the agricultural implement above the soil surface. In response to determining that a height increase of the main frame exceeds a threshold height adjustment, the controller increases the height of the finishing tool. The second sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of the height of the finishing tool of the finishing assembly above the soil surface. Moreover, in response to determining that a height of the finishing assembly above the soil surface is less than a threshold value, the controller increases the height of the finishing tool.
