1. A method of predicting suitability for performance of a crop harvesting operation at a field node for different points in time, the method comprising steps of:
accessing predicted values for operation variables at the node for different points in time, wherein the operation variables include a value for at least one crop condition, and a value for at least one weather condition, soil condition, soil characteristic, operation characteristic, or operation effect;
selecting suitability parameters for each operation variable;
determining values for operation suitability at the node for different points in time using a suitability algorithm adapted to calculate values by comparing predicted operation variable values against the corresponding suitability parameters;
displaying values determined for harvest operation suitability at the node for different points in time.
2. The method described in claim 1, wherein the crop condition is crop maturity level or crop moisture content.
3. The method described in claim 1, wherein the harvest operation suitability value for one or more field nodes is displayed in a table, graph, or map.
4. The method described in claim 1, wherein an operation variable value for one or more field nodes is displayed in a table, graph, or map.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A power transmitting apparatus comprising:
a clutch housing rotatable together with an input member;
a plurality of driving clutch plates each having projections projecting radially outward from the periphery of the driving clutch plate for engaging the clutch housing to rotate together with the housing;
a clutch member connected to an output member and having a plurality of driven clutch plates alternately arranged between the driving clutch plates;
a pressure plate mounted on the clutch member moveable in an axial direction of the clutch member for carrying out pressure-contact or release of the driving clutch plates relative to the driven clutch plates via the axial movement of the driving clutch plates relative to the clutch member where a rotational force inputted to the input member can be transmitted to or cut off from the output member via the pressure-contact or release between the driving clutch plates and driven clutch plates;
each of the driving clutch plates is substantially planar and defines a plane, said projections being in said plane, each driving plate has a peripheral surface, a pair of projected wall surfaces of the projection, and a pair of connecting surfaces one on each side of said projection, each connecting surface connecting the projected wall surfaces and the peripheral surface, and each of the connecting surfaces is an arcuate surface smoothly merged into the projected wall surface and forms an undercut recessed radially inward from the peripheral surface of the driving clutch plate.
