Abstract: A transmission selector mechanism for controlling a gearbox which provides forward/reverse direction and high/low ratios using two coupling members (6?, 53:7?, 54) each axially slideable in both directions either side of the a respective neutral position to couple a selected one of a pair of gears (10, 12:11, 13) to an associated shaft (4, 5). The mechanism includes a driver operated forward/reverse selector member (50) and a driver operated high/low ratio selector member (52). The forward/reverse selector member (50) moves a first selector formation (64, 64b) which is engageable with a first coupling formation means (66) on a first cam (61) which moves one of the coupling members (7?, 54). The high/low selector member (52) moving a second selector formation (63, 63b, 63c) which is engageable with a second coupling formation means (65) on a second cam (58) which moves the other coupling member (6?, 53).

Abstract: A method of establishing yield and moisture content maps involves the continuous recording of yield of moisture content of a harvested crop, as a harvesting machine traverses a field. The recorded yield or moisture content is associated with data from a positioning system, in order that a map of yield or moisture content across the field can be generated. The yield or moisture content is compared with a second measurement of yield or moisture content, and a correction factor is determined. The correction factor is applied to the first yield or moisture content data in order to produce a more accurate yield or moisture content map.
