Harvesting Spring Beans
- Thread starter Zippy768

For fecks sake Flat 10 buy a new combine with varifeed you tight arse!
No more problem.
Just finished ours today with a varifeed header I might add.
No header losses hardly as they didn't shatter that easily on the knife or reel just helping pull them in.
Forward speed about 6-7k.
Yield best I've ever had although not grown them for a few years. Averaged 2.2t acre, drilled with the Claydon.
Some areas of the fields doing 3t, headlands especially by tall hedges woods and trees bring averages down due to lack of moisture.
Moisture was around 15%, driest I ever harvested them!
A good finish to harvest which did surprise me.
Bollucks to OSR, spring beans are the future!

2 ton/acre is good, right?

Do people increase the gap between auger and table, when cutting beans?
I cant get them to flow well along the header, having to use reel too much

Also what kind of percentage of green stem plants are people happy to put through combine.
Clean so not sprayed off, getting impatience now

The odd green plant in mine albeit with hardly a pod on, still had to use the reel on mine a fair amount to feed them in even though I can push the knife in and out. Never altered the height of the auger.
Finished them yesterday but only combined in the afternoons until 7pm.
Yielded better than they looked averaging 1.5t with some crap weedy headlands.

You can try lifting the table auger up a bit but this year I didn't go too wide as the straw with the amount of green stems caused me blocking as it swept up the elevator in lumps.
There was quite a bit of stops when cutting to help keep an even feed, Yes it was a pain but once into the feel of it they went quite smoothly

Had a set of these once on an MF 520, hung a shopping bag under the elevator bottom and filled it first time across the field. The only trouble was the smallest beans tended to lodge in and block the holes otherwise great
