Pixall Green Bean Harvester

With two people and a 40-horsepower tractor, the Pixall BH100 Bean Harvester can harvest dozens of cases of green beans per hour. Accommodating any row-width up to 18 inches, the machine cuts off the plants at ground-level and draws them up into a picking reel where the beans are “combed” from the plants, cleaned of leaves and field debris by a powerful suction fan, then conveyed by a soft-rubber conveyor to a rear platform for bagging or boxing.

Cost: $34,500 (Contact source for current pricing)
