P29392 1 SOIL TILLAGE INTENSITY RATING (STIR) DETERMINATION SYSTEM FOR A TILLAGE IMPLEMENT BACKGROUND [0001] The present disclosure relates to a soil tillage intensity rating (STIR) determination system for a tillage implement. [0002] Certain agricultural implements include ground engaging tools configured to interact with soil. For example, a tillage implement may include disc blades configured to break up the soil for subsequent planting or seeding operations. Groups of disc blades may be arranged in gangs, and each gang of disc blades may be rotatably coupled to a frame of the tillage implement. In certain tillage implements, an angle of each gang may be adjustable relative to the frame, thereby facilitating adjustment of the angle of the disc blades of the gang relative to a direction of travel of the tillage implement. For example, the gang of disc blades may be rotatably coupled to a gang support, and the gang support may be pivotally coupled to the frame of the tillage implement. Accordingly, the angle of the disc blades of the gang relative to the direction of travel may be adjusted by rotating the gang support relative to the frame. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a tillage implement 10 having disc blade angle adjustment assemblies 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the tillage implement 10 is a vertical tillage implement having multiple ground engaging tools configured to till soil. As illustrated, the tillage implement 10 includes a frame 14 and a hitch assembly 16 coupled to the frame 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 14 includes a center section 18, a left wing section 20, and a right wing section 22. Each wing section is configured to rotate upwardly from the illustrated working position to a transport position to facilitate transport of the tillage implement 10. For exa...
