Product Highlights

The 4BYQ-2.6 Kidney Bean Uprooting Machine offers numerous advantages that enhance agricultural productivity, particularly in kidney bean harvesting operations. Designed as a mounted-type implement for tractors with 66-88 kW power output, this machine employs a four-ridge forward push mechanism equipped with spring tooth pickers, enabling efficient uprooting at speeds of 6-10 km/h across a 2.6-meter working width. This configuration yields a productivity rate of 1.56-2.6 hm² per hour, allowing a single operator to cover extensive areas swiftly, thereby significantly outperforming manual harvesting methods in terms of time efficiency.

One primary benefit lies in its substantial reduction of labor requirements. Traditional kidney bean harvesting often demands large teams for manual pulling, which is physically demanding and time-intensive. In contrast, the 4BYQ-2.6 requires only one operator, alleviating the need for extensive workforce recruitment and training. This not only minimizes labor costs but also mitigates risks associated with labor shortages, enabling farmers to redirect human resources toward other critical farm activities, such as crop monitoring or processing.

From a cost-saving perspective, the machine's automation translates into lower operational expenses over time. By replacing manual labor with mechanical precision, it reduces overall harvesting expenditures, including wages and associated overheads. Its durable construction, featuring high-quality materials resistant to wear, ensures longevity with minimal maintenance needs—routine tasks such as cleaning, lubrication, and periodic inspections suffice to maintain optimal performance. This reliability is further supported by a three-year warranty and accessible after-sales service, providing long-term value and reducing downtime-related losses.

Efficiency is another cornerstone advantage. The forward push system gently extracts plants while minimizing soil disturbance, preserving soil structure and supporting sustainable farming practices. This approach also limits damage to beans and roots, resulting in higher-quality yields with reduced waste and contamination, which is particularly beneficial for organic producers and commercial farms aiming to maintain premium product standards. Adaptable to various soil conditions and kidney bean varieties, the machine's versatility extends its utility across small-scale, medium, and large operations.

Working Principle of Kidney Bean Harvester

The working principle of the 4BYQ-2.6 Kidney Bean Harvester is based on an advanced mechanism designed to ensure efficient, gentle, and precise harvesting of kidney beans. This harvester operates as a tractor-mounted implement, utilizing a combination of mechanical and structural components to extract kidney bean plants with minimal damage and high efficiency.

When the machine is attached to a tractor with a power range of 66-88 kW and a PTO speed of 540 r/min, the tractor provides the necessary power to drive the harvester. As the tractor moves forward at a working speed of 6-10 km/h, the four-ridge forward push mechanism comes into action. This mechanism, equipped with spring tooth pickers, gently penetrates the soil along the planted rows. The spring teeth are specifically designed to lift the kidney bean plants carefully, ensuring their roots and pods remain intact. This mechanism minimizes damage to the beans while preventing significant soil disturbance.

Once the kidney bean plants are uprooted, they are collected into a designated area by the forward push system. This streamlined process enables quick and organized collection, reducing the need for additional manual labor during post-harvest processing. The harvester’s mechanism also helps in separating the plants from excessive soil, ensuring cleaner output and improved bean quality.

The 4BYQ-2.6's design further adapts to various soil conditions, making it suitable for different farming environments. By minimizing soil disruption and maximizing pod preservation, the machine not only enhances productivity but also supports sustainable farming practices. Its efficient, automated operation reduces labor costs, increases harvesting speed, and ensures a consistent, high-quality harvest, making it an essential tool for modern agricultural enterprises.

Agricultural Gearbox and Kidney Bean Harvester

The agricultural gearbox plays a vital role in the efficient functioning of a kidney bean harvester, such as the kidney bean harvester. As a critical power transmission component, the gearbox ensures that the harvester operates smoothly and reliably by transferring power from the tractor’s engine to the harvester’s working mechanisms. It is specifically designed to handle the high torque and variable speeds required in agricultural machinery, making it an essential part of the harvesting process.

In the case of the kidney bean harvester, the agricultural gearbox is responsible for converting the tractor’s power output, typically in the range of 66-88 kW, into the precise mechanical movements needed for the forward push mechanism and spring tooth pickers. Operating at a PTO speed of 540 r/min, the gearbox ensures that this rotational power is transmitted efficiently to the harvester’s components, allowing it to maintain an optimal working speed of 6-10 km/h. This precise power transmission enables the harvester to perform critical tasks such as soil penetration, plant uprooting, and bean collection without excessive energy loss or mechanical strain.

The gearbox also contributes to the adaptability of the harvester in varying soil conditions. By providing consistent torque and controlled speeds, it ensures that the spring tooth pickers can operate effectively, even in compacted or irregular soil. Additionally, the gearbox’s robust design enhances the durability and longevity of the harvester, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime.

The agricultural gearbox is an indispensable component of the kidney bean harvester, enabling seamless power transmission, efficient operation, and versatility. Its integration into the 4BYQ-2.6 ensures high productivity, lower operational costs, and reliable performance in diverse farming conditions, making it an essential element for modern agricultural machinery.
