12. A method of operating an agricultural system, comprising:
receiving, via a controller, one or more trip locations, wherein the one or more trip locations are plough locations at a time that a stone trip mechanism has tripped in an earlier agricultural operation;
receiving, via the controller, implement location data from a location determining system associated with a plough, wherein the implement location data is representative of a current location of the plough; and
providing, via the controller, an at least one actuator control signal to at least one actuator configured to control operation of the plough in order to control the operation of the actuator based on the implement location data and the one or more trip locations;
wherein the at least one actuator comprises a stone trip actuator configured to apply a bias force to a plough body of the plough such that the plough body is biased toward a working position, the method comprises determining, via the controller, a ground engaging tool location based on the implement location data, the ground engaging tool location represents a current location of the plough body, the method comprises processing, via the controller, the ground engaging tool location and the one or more trip locations in order to provide a stone trip actuator control signal of the at least one actuator control signal to the stone trip actuator to control the operation of the stone trip actuator, and the stone trip actuator control signal is configured to decrease the bias force that is provided by the stone trip actuator based on a predetermined relationship between the ground engaging tool location and the one or more trip locations.
