Abstract
A control system for an agricultural implement is disclosed. The agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging tool and an adjustment device. The adjustment device is coupled to the ground-engaging tool. The control system includes a location-determining receiver. The location-determining receiver is configured for receiving positioning signals. A correction receiver is in communication with the location-determining receiver and configured for receiving correction signals and determining a corrected geographic location of the ground-engaging tool. A data storage device is configured for storing operating pressure data referenced to geographic location data of the ground-engaging tool. An electronic data processor is in communication with the correction receiver and the data storage device and configured for receiving the corrected geographic location, correlating the corrected geographic location with the operating pressure data, and controlling the adjustment device to provide operating pressure to the ground-engaging tool.
