4BYH-2.6 Dry Bean Harvester – 4-Row Rear-Towed Mechanical Bean Digger
4BYH-2.6 Dry Bean Harvester – efficient 4-row rear-towed mechanical bean digger for commercial dry bean harvesting. 2.6 m width, 66-88 kW power, 1.56–2.6 ha/h productivity. Ideal dry bean harvesting equipment for kidney, pinto and navy beans.
Commercial dry bean harvesting equipment designed for efficient uprooting and windrowing of kidney, pinto, navy and other dry beans. Optimized for 66-88 kW tractors with 1.56–2.6 ha/h productivity.
4BYH-2.6 Dry Bean Harvester Product Overview & Function
The 4BYH-2.6 dry bean harvester is a purpose-built 4-row rear-towed mechanical bean digger engineered for commercial dry bean operations. Powered by a standard 540 r/min PTO shaft and matched to 66–88 kW (90–120 HP) tractors, this dry bean harvesting machine gently uproots entire plants using its spring-tooth picker assembly while maintaining precise depth control to minimize soil intake and pod shatter.
At a working width of 2.6 m and operating speeds of 6–10 km/h, the unit delivers field capacity of 1.56–2.6 hectares per hour. The suspended rear hitch design combined with a 2600 mm wheel track provides stability across varied field conditions, while the overall dimensions of 2333 × 2870 × 1182 mm and 1100 kg structural mass ensure easy transport and maneuverability. Once uprooted, plants are conveyed into a uniform windrow ideal for subsequent pickup by a dry bean combine or thresher, significantly reducing harvest losses compared to manual or direct-combine methods.
Designed as reliable dry bean harvesting equipment, the 4BYH-2.6 excels in row-cropped kidney bean, pinto bean, navy bean and similar pulse crops. Its spring-tooth system handles uneven pod heights and varying soil moisture without excessive bruising, preserving seed coat integrity and market quality. Single-operator control further lowers labor requirements in an industry where timely harvest directly impacts bean grade and price.

Key Challenges Solved for Commercial Growers
Manual dry bean harvesting demands extensive hand labor—often 20–40 worker-hours per hectare—while exposing high-value crops to weather damage, pod shatter and soil contamination. The 4BYH-2.6 dry bean harvester eliminates these issues by completing uprooting and windrowing in a single pass at 1.56–2.6 ha/h with only one operator.
- Reduces labor costs by up to 80% compared to traditional pulling methods.
- Minimizes harvest losses to under 3% through gentle spring-tooth action versus 8–12% typical in delayed or direct combining.
- Enables timely harvest even in marginal weather windows, protecting seed coat quality and maintaining premium pricing for kidney beans and other dry pulses.
- Low soil disturbance preserves field residue and reduces compaction, supporting long-term soil health in crop rotations.
Applications of the 4BYH-2.6 Dry Bean Harvester
This mechanical bean digger is ideal for commercial-scale row-cropped dry bean production across North America, Australia, and other major pulse-growing regions. It performs consistently on 22–30 inch row spacings typical for kidney, pinto, navy, black and small red beans. The 2.6 m working width covers four standard rows efficiently, while the rear-towed configuration leaves the front hitch free for additional implements when needed.
Whether on flat prairie soils or gently rolling terrain, the adjustable depth control and 2600 mm wheel track ensure reliable performance. Farmers using the 4BYH-2.6 report faster field turnaround, enabling same-day or next-day combining and reduced exposure to rain or wind that can degrade windrows.
Maintenance Guidelines
Proper care extends service life and maintains peak performance of your dry bean harvesting machine:
- Daily during harvest: Grease all 12+ fittings, inspect spring teeth for wear or bending, and clear any accumulated debris from the pickup and conveyor area.
- After each season: Thoroughly clean the unit, apply rust-inhibiting oil to exposed metal, and store under cover to prevent moisture damage.
- PTO shaft and gearbox: Check oil levels monthly and replace seals annually to maintain the 540 r/min drive reliability.
- Tires and wheels: Maintain correct pressure (recommended 2.0–2.5 bar) and verify 2600 mm track alignment to prevent uneven wear.
- Depth adjustment mechanism: Lubricate sliding components and verify gauge wheel function before every field entry to optimize pickup without excess soil.
Following these steps typically results in less than 2% downtime and component life exceeding 800 harvest hours.
