One agricultural system (10) includes a hitch assembly (16) configured to couple an agricultural vehicle (12) with an agricultural implement (14). The agricultural system (10) also includes a sensor (48) coupled to the hitch assembly (16) and configured to provide a signal indicative of a force applied to the hitch assembly (16) by the agricultural vehicle (12) and/or the agricultural implement (14). The agricultural system (10) includes control circuitry (50) configured to receive the signal from the sensor (48), to select a parameter associated with operation of the agricultural vehicle (12) and/or the agricultural implement (14), based on the signal, to determine if performance of the agricultural vehicle (12) and/or the agricultural implement (14) will be improved by adjusting the parameter, and to control the parameter if performance of the agricultural vehicle (12) and/or the agricultural implement (14) will be improved.
