Product Overview<\/h2>\n

Scaling up from the 4BYH-1.3 to the 2.6 Model does more than double the working width \u2014 it shifts the entire operational context. At 2.6 m working width, 66\u201388 kW power requirement, and 1.56\u20132.6 hm\u00b2\/h productivity, the 4BYH-2.6 is a commercial-scale machine for bean producers managing 20\u2013200+ ha of annual crop. The doubled width means half the number of passes for the same paddock area; the faster 6\u201310 km\/h operating range means 25% more distance covered per hour at equivalent precision. A 50 ha paddock that takes 15 operating hours with the 1.3 m takes approximately 6\u20137 hours with the 2.6 m \u2014 a difference that compresses the harvest window from two days to one, reducing weather-exposure risk on a crop that must be pulled at the right maturity stage.<\/p>\n

The spring-tooth picker system is retained from the 1.3 m, ensuring that the step up in throughput does not sacrifice the gentle pulling action that prevents the root-snap and stem-split losses that rigid-tooth or aggressive fixed-angle designs cause. At 66\u201388 kW \u2014 the power bracket covering John Deere 6110M through 6120R, Case IH Maxxum 110 through 125, and New Holland T6.120 through T6.140 \u2014 the 4BYH-2.6 runs behind the primary working tractors on mid-to-large Australian bean farms rather than requiring a dedicated pulling tractor.<\/p>\n

The 2,600 mm wheel track is designed for Australian commercial bean row spacings. At 750 mm row spacing, the 2.6 m width covers three to four rows per pass with the wheel track positioned in the inter-row spaces. At 900 mm spacing, the width covers three rows with the tractor slightly offset from the central row. The 1,100 kg structural mass is within the three-point rear-linkage capacity of all compatible tractors in the 66\u201388 kW class without counterweights on firm soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Technical Features \u2014 Commercial Throughput, Retained Precision<\/h2>\n

2.6 m Width \u2014 The Commercial Productivity Step Change<\/h3>\n

Moving from a 1.3 m to a 2.6 m working width is not a linear scaling \u2014 the change in daily throughput is multiplicative when forward speed increase is factored in. The 4BYH-2.6 operates at 6\u201310 km\/h versus the 1.3 m’s 5\u20138 km\/h ceiling, meaning the combined effect of wider width and higher speed delivers 3\u20134x more daily coverage area. A commercial producer harvesting 100 ha of kidney beans \u2014 a scale where the 1.3 m would require three to four working weeks \u2014 completes the same area in 8\u201310 working days with the 2.6 m. That timeline compression has direct financial value: it reduces the window during which weather events can disrupt the harvest, and it allows a single puller-tractor combination to service multiple client properties in a contracting operation.<\/p>\n

Spring-Tooth at Commercial Scale \u2014 Maintained Compliance<\/h3>\n

Scaling the spring-tooth mechanism to 2.6 m requires careful engineering to maintain consistent tooth compliance across the wider pulling bar rather than simply extending the same design. The 4BYH-2.6’s tooth mounting geometry and spring specification are calibrated for the wider bar’s natural flex characteristics, ensuring that teeth at the outer edges of the 2.6 m bar behave with the same compliance as the centre teeth. This uniformity is what allows commercial-scale operation without a disproportionate increase in harvest losses at the bar extremities \u2014 a problem that poorly engineered wide-bar pullers routinely suffer.<\/p>\n

66\u201388 kW \u2014 Primary Tractor Compatibility<\/h3>\n

The 66\u201388 kW power requirement aligns the 4BYH-2.6 with the primary working tractors on mid-to-large Australian bean farms. This is not a machine that requires a dedicated pulling tractor sitting idle between harvest seasons \u2014 the same tractor that runs the planter, the sprayer, and the cultivator through the season pulls the 4BYH-2.6 for the three to six weeks of harvest. That single-tractor versatility reduces the total machinery capital required for the operation significantly compared to a system that needs a dedicated high-power pulling unit.<\/p>\n

6\u201310 km\/h Operating Range \u2014 Speed and Quality Trade-Off<\/h3>\n

The 6\u201310 km\/h range gives the operator meaningful speed flexibility that the 1.3 m’s narrower 5\u20138 km\/h range does not. At 6\u20137 km\/h on heavy-rooted plants or clay-loam soils, losses stay in the 2\u20134% range that commercial operations target. At 9\u201310 km\/h on lighter-rooted plants in sandy soils, losses increase to 5\u20138% \u2014 acceptable on commodity-grade crops where throughput is the priority. The operator’s choice of operating speed is the primary lever for managing the quality-versus-throughput trade-off on each specific field condition, and the 4BYH-2.6 gives more speed range to work with than the smaller model.<\/p>\n

Transport Wagon Integration \u2014 Direct Field-to-Bin<\/h3>\n

The 4BYH-2.6 integrates with transport wagons for direct field-to-bin operation, pulling plants and depositing them immediately into a following wagon rather than windrowing for later collection. This integration reduces total field operations from three (pull, windrow, collect) to two (pull-and-collect, transport) \u2014 a meaningful simplification on large-area commercial operations where each additional field pass adds time, fuel, and compaction exposure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"4BYH-2.6<\/div>\n
\n

From Field to Bin \u2014 How the 4BYH-2.6 Operates<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Step 01<\/div>\n
Pre-Season Depth Calibration<\/div>\n

Set the three-point linkage depth for the paddock’s soil type and root depth profile. The 2.6 m bar depth is set uniformly \u2014 adjust the linkage drop position until the first 10 metres of test pulling shows clean whole-plant extraction without root-snap or surface dragging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 02<\/div>\n
Pull at 6\u201310 km\/h<\/div>\n

Forward motion at the appropriate speed for soil type. Spring teeth engage the root zone, deflect, and pull cleanly upward. All plants across the 2.6 m width are extracted simultaneously in a single tractor pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 03<\/div>\n
Windrow or Direct Wagon Delivery<\/div>\n

Pulled plants are deposited in a windrow for field drying before combine pickup, or delivered directly to a following transport wagon for immediate removal. The plant deposition geometry is consistent across the bar width for clean windrow formation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 04<\/div>\n
Field Dry and Thresh<\/div>\n

Windrowed plants field-dry to the threshing moisture target before the combine pass. The clean, consistent plant deposition from the 4BYH-2.6 produces a uniform windrow that the combine pickup handles efficiently without over-run or skip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Commercial operators running the 4BYH-2.6 on multi-day harvests typically establish a field-drying protocol at the start of each season: pull day 1, field dry 1.5\u20132 days depending on weather, combine day 3\u20134. The 2.6 m pull rate of 1.56\u20132.6 hm\u00b2\/h means the combine schedule is limited by the combine’s own throughput capacity on large operations, not by the puller’s rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Applications \u2014 Commercial Bean and Legume Operations<\/h2>\n

Commercial Kidney Bean \u2014 20 to 200+ ha<\/h3>\n

The primary application is commercial kidney bean production in NSW, Victoria, and SA \u2014 operations growing 20\u2013200+ ha annually for fresh market, processing, or export. The 4BYH-2.6 compresses the pull phase of the harvest into a timeline that commercial operations can schedule reliably without engaging contractors for peak-season pulling. At 1.56\u20132.6 hm\u00b2\/h, a 100 ha paddock is pulled in 40\u201365 hours \u2014 achievable in a working week with a single tractor and operator.<\/p>\n

Navy Bean, Borlotti & Cannellini at Scale<\/h3>\n

While kidney beans are the primary market for the 4BYH-2.6, the spring-tooth mechanism works equally well on navy beans, borlotti, and cannellini at commercial scale. Australian processors sourcing these beans for supermarket private-label and export markets increasingly specify grower quality standards that include maximum harvest-loss limits \u2014 typically 3\u20136% for processed grades. The 4BYH-2.6 achieves this specification comfortably at 7\u20138 km\/h operating speed on typical soil conditions.<\/p>\n

Soybean \u2014 High-Value Varieties at Volume<\/h3>\n

Australia’s expanding food-grade soybean sector \u2014 producing tofu-grade, edamame, and specialty varieties for Asian food manufacturers \u2014 requires careful pulling to minimise pod shatter losses on high-value crop. The 4BYH-2.6’s spring-tooth action at 6\u20137 km\/h achieves 2\u20134% losses on soybean, which is acceptable on commodity-grade processing varieties and excellent on food-grade premium varieties where the price differential of $100\u2013200\/tonne above commodity makes loss reduction directly profitable.<\/p>\n

Contract Harvesting \u2014 Multiple Client Properties<\/h3>\n

Harvest contractors servicing multiple kidney bean producers across a regional area find the 4BYH-2.6’s combination of throughput and transport flexibility efficient for property-to-property scheduling. The machine transports within standard width limits for rural road travel, connects to the contractor’s existing 66\u201388 kW tractor fleet, and covers enough daily area per property to make single-day client visits achievable on properties up to 15\u201320 ha \u2014 the scale range common among the specialist bean producers that contract pulling services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"4BYH-2.6<\/div>\n
\n

Maintenance at Commercial Intensity<\/h2>\n

Daily at Commercial Operation Pace<\/h3>\n

At commercial intensity \u2014 8\u201310 hour days over 2\u20134 weeks of harvest season \u2014 daily maintenance is more demanding than for light-use operations. Walk the full 2.6 m tooth bar and check all spring teeth for fatigue cracking, permanent set, or bent mounting coils before each shift. Replace teeth in adjacent pairs rather than singly to maintain compliance uniformity across the bar \u2014 a stiffer new tooth adjacent to a worn softer tooth creates a locally variable pull force that shows up as a strip of higher losses in the harvested windrow.<\/p>\n

Every 30\u201340 Operating Hours<\/h3>\n

Inspect the 2.6 m carrier bar for stress cracking at the tooth mounting weld points \u2014 at commercial intensity, the cyclic loading across 20\u201330 teeth on a 2.6 m bar accumulates fatigue faster than on the narrower 1.3 m design. Check the three-point hitch top link and lower link pins for wear; worn hitch pins allow depth variability that directly affects harvest losses. Grease all five lubrication points on the machine’s main pivot joints.<\/p>\n

Post-Season<\/h3>\n

Full tooth replacement on any set showing permanent set or significant wear. Clean and inspect the carrier bar welds. EverPower holds 4BYH-2.6-specification tooth replacement sets at Condell Park for next-day east coast delivery. Machines stored clean and dry between seasons routinely complete 5\u20138 seasons before major structural service is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nWhat harvest loss rate can I expect at commercial operating speeds?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
At 6\u20137 km\/h<\/strong> on typical clay-loam soils, harvest losses of 2\u20134%<\/strong> are achievable on standard kidney bean varieties. At 8\u201310 km\/h on lighter soils or shorter-rooted varieties, losses increase to 4\u20138%. The choice of operating speed is the primary lever for managing the quality-versus-throughput trade-off \u2014 commercial growers typically use 7\u20138 km\/h as a practical balance for commodity-grade production.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nCan it handle three or four rows per pass?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
At 750 mm row spacing<\/strong>, the 2.6 m working width covers three full rows plus part of the fourth, with the tractor wheel track positioned in the inter-row spaces. At 900 mm row spacing<\/strong>, the width covers approximately three rows. The machine does not require separate row-guide adjustments between these configurations \u2014 the spring teeth sweep the full 2.6 m width regardless of row spacing, and the width is wide enough to cover multiple rows at either spacing.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat is the difference between the 4BYH-2.6 and the 4BYH-3.25?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
The 4BYH-3.25<\/strong> adds a third row section to reach 3.25 m working width, with a power increase to 103\u2013132 kW and a further productivity gain to 1.95\u20133.25 hm\u00b2\/h. The 4BYH-3.25 is the choice for operations above 150 ha annual area or where harvest timing is critical enough to justify the larger tractor requirement. For 20\u2013150 ha, the 4BYH-2.6 at 66\u201388 kW is typically the more cost-effective choice.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDoes the machine work with transport wagons for direct field-to-bin?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 the 4BYH-2.6 is compatible with standard Australian transport wagon systems for direct pull-and-collect operation. The machine deposits pulled plants consistently enough that a following wagon can collect without manual windrow management. Wagon-integrated operation removes the field-drying step and the combine pass for operations that prefer fresh-harvested bean processing.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat warranty is included?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
3-year whole-machine warranty<\/strong> from EverPower Australia. Spring-tooth sets, carrier bar sections, and hitch hardware stocked at Condell Park NSW for 72-hour national delivery.
