Abstract
A system for unloading of a mobile farm implement is provided. The system includes a mobile farm implement including a container and an auger with an auger spout. The system includes a door controller configured to at least one of open and close a door of the container of the mobile farm implement so as to thereby operate said door. The system includes a power takeoff sensor configured to measure a rotational speed of a power takeoff. The system includes a control device including a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The control device is connected to the power takeoff sensor and to the door controller. The control device is configured to make a determination as to whether the measured rotational speed of the power takeoff is above a first power takeoff rotational speed threshold, and to operate said door based on said determination.
