Description
Built for Commercial Dry Bean Harvest Operations
The 4BYH-3.25 Kidney Bean Puller is a tractor-mounted, 5-row pulling harvester engineered to lift mature kidney bean plants out of the soil intact, with pods and stems together, ready for windrow drying and downstream threshing. Designed for farms running 40 to 600+ hectares of dry edible legumes, it replaces hand-pulling and converted potato lifters with a purpose-built machine that holds pod-loss below 3% in field trials.
As a 5-row tractor mounted kidney bean puller with a 3.25 m working width, this unit clears between 1.95 and 3.25 hectares per hour at 6–10 km/h ground speed — equivalent to 15–25 hectares in a typical 8-hour shift. The spring-tooth pickup grips the root ball and lifts the whole plant without stripping pods, which is the failure point on most adapted potato or peanut machines.
Used by commercial growers, custom harvesting contractors, and cooperative equipment pools, the 4BYH-3.25 is part of our Legume Harvesting Equipment line and pairs with any 103–132 kW (140–180 HP) wheeled tractor with a Cat. III three-point hitch and 540 r/min PTO. Custom row spacing and width configurations are available — see the FAQ section below for details.

4BYH-3.25 Kidney Bean Puller HarvesterField Applications
The 4BYH-3.25 is a dedicated Dry Bean Harvester for any short-podded legume crop where the entire plant must be lifted intact for downstream drying and threshing. Typical operational contexts:
4BYH-3.25 Kidney Bean Puller HarvesterModel Advantages — What the Numbers Say
-
015-Row Pickup at 3.25 m SwathCovers 5 planted rows in a single pass. At 65 cm row spacing this matches standard kidney bean planters, eliminating the offset issue common to 4-row imports.
-
02Field Productivity 1.95 – 3.25 ha/hA typical 8-hour shift covers 15–25 ha — measured by our distributors across three harvest seasons in Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia trial plots.
-
03Pod Loss Rate Below 3%Spring-tooth pickup grips the root ball rather than the stem, keeping pods on the plant. Compared to converted potato lifters where loss frequently exceeds 8%.
-
04Single-Operator WorkflowAll controls operated from the tractor cab. No second person on the implement — saving 1 wage and reducing OSHA-style exposure.
-
05540 r/min Standard PTO & Cat. III HitchUniversal compatibility with mainstream wheeled tractors from John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, YTO, Lovol, and Dongfanghong in the 140–180 HP class.
-
061,540 kg Frame — Weight Where It CountsHeavy enough to keep the pickup engaged in compacted soil; light enough that the recommended 103 kW tractor handles it without ballast adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Field Operators Are Saying
— Family farm operator, North Dakota, USA
★★★★★
“I’ve been pulling kidney beans by hand or with patched-up gear since the Reagan administration. Hooked the 4BYH-3.25 onto my Deere last fall, finished 320 acres in three days, and my back finally forgave me. The wife says I’m easier to live with — that alone is worth the freight.”
— Custom harvest contractor, 1,200 ha service operation
★★★★★
“We ran the 4BYH-3.25 for two seasons across 1,200 hectares of contracted kidney and adzuki fields. Daily duty cycle averaged 11 hours; total downtime over the season stayed under 4 hours. Measured pickup loss came in at 2.6%. The build quality justifies the price point — we ordered a second unit for 2025.”
Recommended Companion Equipment
The kidney bean puller is one stage of a three-step harvest workflow: pull → windrow-dry → thresh. To run an end-to-end operation, pair the 4BYH-3.25 with these matched implements:
The puller is mounted on the tractor’s Cat. III three-point hitch and driven by its 540 r/min PTO. Pairing with under-spec horsepower causes PTO stalling in heavy soil; over-spec is fine but wastes fuel. Tractors with creep-gear gain accuracy at the 6 km/h end of the working speed range.
After pulling, plants must be gathered into windrows for 2–5 days of sun-drying — pods need to drop below 16% moisture before threshing or the seed cracks. The finger wheel rake forms uniform windrows without stripping pods, unlike rotary or parallel-bar rakes that beat the plants too aggressively.
The puller uproots whole plants but does not separate seed from pod. After windrow drying, a self-propelled bean thresher or pickup-combine moves down the windrow, thresh-cleans, and tank-fills the dried beans — completing the pull-dry-thresh chain without rehandling.
