PLOWING DEPTH DETECTING SYSTEM FOR ROTARY PLOW

摘要

There is disclosed a plowing depth detecting system for a rotary plow adapted to detect an actual plowing depth on the basis of distance data with respect to the ground received from a distance sensor attached to the rotary plow which is vertically movably connected to a vehicle through a link mechanism. The distance sensor provides a microprocessor with distance data with respect to the ground rearwardly of the rotary plow. The microprocessor determines a value of actual plowing depth of the rotary plow on the basis of this distance data and a correction value according to a working condition of the rotary plow.
