Control System for Ripper Operation

Abstract: a mobile machine is operatively attached to a ripper for conducting a ripping operation of the terrain substrate by traveling over the terrain surface. the mobile machine may be associated with sensors to measure the travel resistance from the terrain opposing travel of the mobile machine in the travel directing during the ripping operation. if the travel resistance is excessive, the mobile machine can conduct a shank adjustment sequence by adjusting one or more of a tilt actuator and a lift actuator to move the ripper relative to the terrain and reduce the travel resistance.
