Where the 4BYH-1.3 Fits in the US Dry Bean Harvest<\/h2>\n

American dry bean harvest is a two-stage operation. First, a bean puller (also called a bean cutter or bean lifter) runs through the field once the pods turn brown and most leaves have dropped. The lifter blades pass an inch or two under the soil surface, severing the taproot, while spring tines lift the entire plant out of the row and place it gently in a windrow on top of the soil. Two to seven days later, once the bean plants have field-dried, a combine equipped with a bean pickup head consolidates the windrow, threshes the pods, and delivers cleaned beans to the grain tank.<\/p>\n

The 4BYH-1.3 kidney bean puller is the lifting stage of that workflow. It is the smallest, simplest model in our four-tier dry bean harvest catalog, sized for the operator who runs roughly 50 to 250 acres of pinto, navy, kidney, black, garbanzo or specialty pulse crops each season. Compared to the wider 4-row 4BYH-2.6 and the commercial-class 5-row and 6-row models, the 4BYH-1.3 keeps the implement light (600 kg), the tractor demand modest (40 kW or about 55 horsepower), and the wheel track narrow at 1300 mm, which clears most standard 22-inch and 30-inch US row spacings without crushing adjacent rows.<\/p>\n

\"4BYH-1.3<\/p>\n

For specialty bean growers, organic farms, county extension co-ops, and seed-bean operations, the 4BYH-1.3 carries an additional advantage: it does not over-handle the crop. Larger rear-pull and front-push pullers move beans through more conveyor distance and risk pod shatter on heritage varieties or thin-skin organic stock. The compact 1.3 meter span on this model means a shorter, gentler crop path, which is what specialty buyers reward at the cleaning plant. American dry bean machinery from Pickett Equipment, Lockwood Manufacturing and similar US-market suppliers operates in adjacent product tiers; those names are mentioned here only as familiar reference points for cross-spec selection. No affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or trademark relationship is implied.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Key Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n

Three numbers anchor the 4BYH-1.3 specification. The 1.3 meter working width matches a 2-row pull on standard 26-inch (660 mm) bean spacing, the 600 kg total mass keeps the implement on the light end of the three-point hitch capacity for any 55 horsepower tractor, and the 0.65 to 1.04 ha\/h productivity figure converts to roughly 1.6 to 2.6 acres per hour of effective lifting. A 50 acre bean field can be pulled in well under one full working day with a single tractor and one operator.<\/p>\n

Working speed runs between 5 and 8 km\/h, which on a US bean field translates to roughly 3 to 5 mph. That is the right ground speed to keep the lifter blades cutting cleanly under the taproot without chattering, and to give the spring tines time to deliver the plant onto the windrow without pod shatter. Faster ground speed risks throwing dirt with the plants; slower speed reduces hourly throughput. Most operators settle around 6.5 km\/h once they find the sweet spot for their soil type and bean variety.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Working Principle: From Standing Crop to Cured Windrow<\/h2>\n

A dry bean puller has one job, and it has to do it twice per row simultaneously. The 4BYH-1.3 carries two horizontal lifter shares mounted at the front of the implement, one share per row. Each share is angled slightly downward and runs about two inches under the soil surface as the tractor moves forward at 5 to 8 km\/h. The share severs the bean plant taproot cleanly without chopping the stem, leaving the plant intact and standing in place for a fraction of a second.<\/p>\n

Behind each share, a rotating spring-tine cylinder catches the cut plant before it falls. The tines are arranged on a horizontal drum that rotates at PTO-driven speed (input shaft at 540 r\/min), and they comb upward through the soil-plant interface, lifting each bean plant off the row and laying it sideways onto the central conveyor belt. Because the tine action is sweeping rather than impact-based, pod shatter loss stays low even on dry, brittle bean varieties such as garbanzo and adzuki.<\/p>\n

\"4BYH-1.3<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conveyor moves the lifted plants to the rear of the implement, where they drop in a continuous windrow on top of the just-pulled rows. That windrow needs to be loose, not packed, so the windrowed plants can dry uniformly. The 4BYH-1.3 conveyor is tuned to deposit the plants in the right airflow geometry: roots toward one side, pods exposed on top, and just enough overlap to consolidate two rows of plants into one windrow without piling.<\/p>\n

After the puller leaves the field, the plants air-cure on the soil for 2 to 7 days depending on regional weather. Once moisture content drops to roughly 14 to 16 percent (which is the safe threshold for combining), a bean pickup-head combine moves through the field, picks up the windrow, threshes the pods, and delivers the cleaned beans to the grain tank. For US growers running adjacent hay or forage, the same gathering geometry concept appears in our 9LZ-6.0 finger wheel hay rake<\/a>, which uses the same gentle-sweep philosophy on cured grass and alfalfa.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Core Operational Advantages on US Dry Bean Farms<\/h2>\n

The four advantages below are the ones our customers consistently flag as the reason they chose the 4BYH-1.3 over a single-row mounted unit, a wider 4-row pull, or an aging shop-built lifter that has reached the end of its service life. Each ties directly to a number on the spec table.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u25c6 Gentle Pod Handling<\/h3>\n

Spring-tine lifting is sweeping, not chopping, which means the bean plant reaches the windrow with the pod still attached to the stem. Specialty bean buyers (organic black beans, heritage kidney, garbanzo) reward this with cleaner samples and higher per-pound prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u25c6 40 kW Entry Power<\/h3>\n

Any 55 horsepower utility tractor with a category 1 or category 2 three-point hitch and a 540 PTO can run this puller. Owners of Kubota M, John Deere 5E, Massey Ferguson 4700, and similar utility tractors do not need to upgrade equipment to start dry bean harvest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u25c6 Compact 1300 mm Track<\/h3>\n

The narrow wheel track clears most US dry bean row spacings (22 to 30 inches) without crushing adjacent rows during turn passes. That preserves yield on field margins and headlands, where wider 4-row units typically lose 2 to 3 percent of standing crop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u25c6 Quick 3-Point Hookup<\/h3>\n

Mounting and dismounting the 600 kg implement takes one operator under 10 minutes with standard lift arms and a PTO connection. That is critical for small-acre growers who share equipment across multiple rented fields or co-op partners during a tight harvest window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Construction, Wear Parts and Service Life<\/h2>\n

The 4BYH-1.3 is built around a welded carbon-steel main frame, fabricated from CNC laser-cut plate and assembled on automated welding fixtures so each bead reaches consistent depth. The frame is then shot-blasted to white metal and finished in our signature deep-indigo electrostatic powder coat. That coating shrugs off the soil moisture, fertilizer overspray and ammonia exposure typical of bean fields rotated with corn or alfalfa.<\/p>\n

The two lifter shares are the primary wear part on any bean puller. The 4BYH-1.3 uses high-carbon hardened steel shares, bolted (not welded) to the share holder so they can be replaced individually when the cutting edge wears past the resharpenable point. Most American operators get one to two seasons out of an OEM share before replacement, depending on soil abrasiveness; sandy loam wears shares faster than heavier clay loam.<\/p>\n

The spring tines on the lifting drum are the second wear group. Each tine is bolted individually to the rotor, made from a high-memory carbon spring formulation that flexes without taking permanent set. A single broken tine costs roughly six dollars and three minutes of field time to replace. We recommend keeping a 12-tine spare bundle in the toolbox at all times during harvest.<\/p>\n

The conveyor belt is a heavy-duty rubber composite reinforced with internal fabric plies, rated for the abrasive contact of bean plants and field soil. Belt service life is typically two to four full seasons under normal use. The PTO input gearbox is sealed, oil-bath lubricated and rated for 540 r\/min continuous duty. Bearings throughout the implement use sealed double-row designs requiring grease only at scheduled service intervals.<\/p>\n

\"4BYH-1.3<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Field-Tested Application Scenarios<\/h2>\n

The 4BYH-1.3 is sized for the 50 to 250 acre dry bean operation and serves four primary harvest scenarios across the US bean belt. Each scenario favors the gentle, low-throughput design over heavier 4-row and 5-row pullers.<\/p>\n

\u25b8 Pinto and Navy Bean Harvest<\/h3>\n

Pinto and navy beans are the workhorse pulses of North Dakota’s Red River Valley and Michigan’s Saginaw Bay region. On smaller farms (50 to 200 acres), the 4BYH-1.3 handles the pulling stage in one to three days depending on field layout. Working speed sits at the upper end of the 5 to 8 km\/h range because navy bean plants are relatively short and the windrow consolidates cleanly. Operators report less than 2 percent pod shatter loss when the puller depth is set correctly to one and a half inches below the taproot.<\/p>\n

\u25b8 Kidney and Black Bean Operations<\/h3>\n

Light red kidney beans and black beans command higher per-pound prices than commodity navy beans, which makes pod shatter loss especially expensive. The spring-tine action of the 4BYH-1.3 keeps pod-on-stem retention high even on dry kidney plants where the seed pods can split with rough handling. Saginaw Valley growers running 100 to 250 acres of premium black beans or specialty kidney varieties commonly choose this 2-row puller specifically because larger units handle the crop too aggressively.<\/p>\n

\"4BYH-1.3<\/p>\n

\u25b8 Adzuki, Garbanzo and Specialty Pulses<\/h3>\n

Specialty pulse markets in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest cover adzuki for Asian export, garbanzo for the chickpea hummus supply chain, and small lots of heirloom dry beans for organic and farm-to-table channels. Plants vary in height, pod density and stem strength, all of which favor the gentle, narrow lifting profile of the 4BYH-1.3. The 600 kg implement weight also keeps soil compaction low, which matters for organic fields where regenerative practice protocols restrict heavy implements.<\/p>\n

\u25b8 Small-Acre and Co-op Equipment Sharing<\/h3>\n

County extension co-ops, equipment-sharing partnerships and seed-bean specialty growers often need a versatile, easy-to-mount puller that can move between member farms during the harvest window. The 4BYH-1.3 mounts and dismounts in under 10 minutes from any category 1 or category 2 three-point hitch, making it the right fit for shared-asset operations. The light frame also towers easily on a standard 14-foot equipment trailer for road moves between farms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maintenance Schedule and Service Calendar<\/h2>\n

Dry bean harvest happens in a tight 3 to 6 week window each fall, so the 4BYH-1.3 needs to be ready to run on day one without surprise. The maintenance schedule below covers daily, periodic and pre-season checks. Most operators finish the daily routine in under 8 minutes once they know the path.<\/p>\n

Companion Equipment and Drivetrain Notes<\/h2>\n

A dry bean puller is one piece of a longer harvest chain, and the right companion equipment improves both throughput and final bean quality. The 4BYH-1.3 is designed to integrate cleanly with the rest of a small-to-medium American bean operation.<\/p>\n

On the input side, a 540 r\/min PTO shaft connects the tractor to the puller’s input gearbox. The shaft includes a slip-clutch torque limiter calibrated to release before driveline shock can damage the gearbox or the lifting rotor. If the lifter shares strike a buried rock, the slip-clutch absorbs the spike and the operator can back the tractor up, clear the obstruction and resume work without disassembling any part of the implement. The input gearbox itself is a sealed, oil-bath-lubricated bevel reducer rated for continuous 540 r\/min duty under cyclic field load.<\/p>\n

Gearbox quality is the single most important spare-part decision a bean puller buyer makes after the implement itself. A budget-tier replacement gearbox can fail mid-harvest and cost the operator the entire 3 to 6 week window. For replacement gearboxes or to spec a bevel reducer for an aging implement of any brand, our engineering team recommends a purpose-built bo\u00eete de prise de force agricole<\/a> sized for the cyclic shock loads typical of dry bean and root-crop harvest equipment.<\/p>\n

Downstream of the puller, most American operations use a combine equipped with a bean pickup head to pick up and thresh the windrow. Common pickup heads in the US market include conveyor-style and pickup-reel designs, both of which work cleanly with the loose, aerated windrow that the 4BYH-1.3 leaves behind. For operators in mixed bean-and-forage rotations, the same tractor that runs this puller can also tow our smaller round balers and finger-wheel rakes during the off-season, which spreads equipment cost across multiple revenue streams.

<\/p>\n

Quality Certifications and US Parts Support<\/h2>\n

Every 4BYH-1.3 kidney bean puller is built under an ISO 9001 quality management framework. Critical components (lifter shares, spring tines, input gearbox, slip-clutch packs, PTO shaft) are sourced from approved long-lead suppliers, and traceability records are kept on file for ten years. Each implement is inspected for share alignment, conveyor tracking and gearbox oil level on a calibrated test bench before it leaves the production line.<\/p>\n

For US customers, parts inventory is held at our Sacramento, California operations base. Standard wear items including spring tines, lifter shares, conveyor belts, idler bearings and slip-clutch friction discs ship same day or next day to most domestic destinations. Larger structural components can be air-freighted within a week if needed mid-harvest, which is the difference between catching the dry-down window and missing it.<\/p>\n

Technical support runs through three tiers. Tier 1 is a downloadable manual and a video tutorial library covering the 20 most common service tasks. Tier 2 is direct phone or video support with a US-based agronomist during harvest season. Tier 3 is on-site service through regional partner technicians, with travel windows kept under 48 hours. The standard warranty covers structural defects on the welded frame for 12 months from shipping date, plus one full season of harvest on the input gearbox and conveyor drivetrain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Foire aux questions<\/h2>\n
\n

Q: What is the minimum tractor horsepower I need for the 4BYH-1.3?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The spec calls for at least 40 kW at the PTO, which translates to about 55 horsepower. On flat ground with average soil moisture, a 55 horsepower utility tractor pulls the 600 kg implement comfortably. On heavier clay loam soils or deep root-set bean varieties, scale up to a 65 to 75 horsepower tractor for cleaner share penetration and more consistent rotor speed under load.<\/p>\n

Q: What soil moisture window is best for pulling beans with this implement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Pull beans when the leaves have dropped, pods are brown to tan, and soil moisture sits between 12 and 18 percent. Soil that is too dry causes share dust and poor lifting; soil that is too wet causes mud-clumping on the conveyor belt. A simple field test: if the soil ball crumbles when squeezed but does not stick to your hand, conditions are right.<\/p>\n

Q: How deep should the lifter shares run below the soil?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Standard depth is 1.5 to 2 inches below the soil surface, set so the shares pass cleanly under the bean taproot without throwing dirt up onto the windrow. Too deep increases dirt contamination at the cleaning plant; too shallow leaves taproots intact and tears the plant rather than lifting it. Adjust the three-point hitch top link until depth is consistent across both rows.<\/p>\n

Q: How often should the lifter shares be replaced?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Lifter shares are bolted-on wear parts, so they can be resharpened in the shop two or three times before final replacement. Most American operators get one to two seasons out of an OEM share before the cutting edge is past resharpenable. We recommend keeping a spare set of two shares in the toolbox at all times during harvest.<\/p>\n

Q: How is the 4BYH-1.3 shipped to the United States?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The implement ships in a 40 ft High Cube ocean container in semi-knocked-down configuration. The main frame, lifting rotor, conveyor and three-point linkage are flat-packed, and several units fit per container, which keeps freight per implement low. Re-assembly takes one operator about half a day with standard hand tools. We also offer fully assembled drive-on roll-on\/roll-off shipping for buyers who prefer that option.<\/p>\n

Q: Can the 4BYH-1.3 handle organic and specialty bean varieties?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Yes. The gentle spring-tine lifting action is well-suited to organic black bean, garbanzo, adzuki, heirloom kidney and similar specialty varieties. The 600 kg light frame also keeps soil compaction low, which is important on organic certified ground following regenerative practice protocols. Many of our US specialty growers chose this puller specifically for its narrow handling profile.<\/p>\n

Q: What kind of operator training is provided with delivery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Each implement ships with a printed operator manual, a US-spec parts diagram, and a QR code linking to our video tutorial library. The library covers initial setup, three-point hookup, share depth adjustment, slip-clutch torque setting, daily service routine and end-of-season storage. For shared-equipment co-ops we can also schedule a remote video orientation with a US-based agronomist before first harvest.<\/p>\n

Q: What warranty is included with the 4BYH-1.3?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The standard warranty covers structural defects on the welded main frame for 12 months from shipping date, plus one full season of harvest on the input gearbox and conveyor drivetrain. Wear parts (lifter shares, spring tines, conveyor belt, slip-clutch friction discs) are not covered under structural warranty but are stocked at our Sacramento, California operations base for next-day shipping during harvest season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What American Operators Say About the 4BYH-1.3<\/h2>\n
\n

Gregory P. Vandenberg, Bean Producer, Saginaw, MI (October 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We grow about 180 acres of black beans and light red kidney each season. The 4BYH-1.3 finishes the puller stage in two and a half days behind a 65 horsepower utility tractor. Pod retention is the part that matters for our specialty buyer in Saginaw, and the gentle spring-tine action keeps shatter loss well under 2 percent on visual inspection of the windrow.<\/p>\n

\n

Theresa L. Martinez, Pinto Bean Grower, Bismarck, ND (September 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Replaced a tired single-row puller with the 4BYH-1.3 and the productivity jump on our 120 acres of pintos was immediate. Roughly 2 acres per hour at 6.5 km\/h ground speed, finishing the field in two days instead of four. Sacramento parts shipped me a replacement spring tine bundle in two business days when I caught a buried piece of fence. That kind of response keeps me coming back.<\/p>\n

\n

Marcus E. Albrecht, Co-op Equipment Manager, Scottsbluff, NE (August 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our co-op shares this puller across six member farms, all under 200 acres. The 600 kg frame is light enough to load on a 14 foot equipment trailer without a winch, and 3-point mounting takes under 10 minutes per farm. Members report consistent depth setting at 1.5 inches gives the cleanest windrow. Hard to argue with a tool that keeps every member happy.<\/p>\n

\n

Dana K. Rasmussen, Garbanzo Grower, Twin Falls, ID (July 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garbanzo bean plants are tall and brittle when ready to pull, so equipment selection really matters. The 4BYH-1.3 lifts plants without snapping the upper stems, which preserves pods on the central stalk where most of the seed lives. Our cleaning plant graded our 90 acres at premium spec this season. The puller paid for itself on price-spread alone.<\/p>\n

\n

Kelly J. Strand, Organic Bean Farmer, Crookston, MN (October 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organic certification means we pay attention to soil compaction and equipment weight on our 75 acres of dry beans. The 4BYH-1.3 at 600 kg leaves almost no compaction track on the windrow rows, which is great for the cover crop that follows. Mounted to our 60 horsepower Kubota M and the whole setup feels balanced. Honestly the easiest implement in our shed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Le 4BYH-1.3 kidney bean puller<\/strong> is the entry-level 2-row, three-point mounted dry bean lifter in our harvest line. With a 1.3 meter working width, a spring-tine pickup that gently lifts the bean plant off the soil, and a 40 kW power match, it suits compact farms and specialty bean producers across Michigan, North Dakota, Nebraska, Idaho and Minnesota. Working speed runs 5 to 8 km\/h, productivity reaches 0.65 to 1.04 ha\/h, and the 600 kg frame mounts on any standard category 1 or category 2 three-point hitch.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":596,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-594","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-kidney-bean-puller","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=594"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=594"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silagebalers.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
