Claim 4:
5. An agricultural implement, comprising:
an implement frame;
a plurality of disk gang assemblies supported relative to the implement frame, with each disk gang assembly including a toolbar coupled to the implement frame and a plurality of disks supported by the toolbar, the plurality of disk gang assemblies including a first disk gang assembly;
a first load sensor configured to generate data indicative of an applied load through the first disk gang assembly; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the first load sensor, the computing system being configured to:
monitor the load applied through the first disk gang assembly based on the data received from the first load sensor;
evaluate the monitored load relative to a predetermined load threshold associated at least in part with the first disk gang assembly;
identify that the first disk gang assembly is experiencing a bearing failure condition based at least in part on the evaluation of the monitored load relative to the load threshold; and
select the load threshold based at least in part on a ground speed of the agricultural implement and a penetration depth of the plurality of disks of the first disk gang assembly.
