Claim 0:
1. A system for detecting bearing failures for tool assemblies of agricultural implements, the system comprising:
an implement frame;
first and second tool assemblies supported relative to the implement frame, each of the first and second tool assemblies including at least one ground-engaging tool;
a first load sensor configured to generate data indicative of an applied load through the first tool assembly;
a second load sensor configured to generate data indicative of an applied load through the second tool assembly; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the first and second load sensors, the computing system being configured to:
monitor the loads applied through the first and second tool assemblies based on the data received from the first and second load sensors;
identify that one of the first tool assembly or the second tool assembly is experiencing a bearing failure condition based on an evaluation of the monitored loads applied through the first and second tool assemblies; and
determine a direction of a moment resulting from the load applied through one of the first tool assembly or the second tool assembly.
