Product Overview<\/h2>\n

The 4BYH-3.25 (5 Ridges) sits at the top of the 4BYH pulling range \u2014 the machine for large-scale commercial bean operations where daily coverage rate determines whether the entire crop is harvested before the maturity window closes. At 3.25 m working width across a 3,250 mm wheel track, it covers 5 rows simultaneously at standard 750 mm row spacing, matching the output capacity of large self-propelled harvesters at a fraction of their capital cost and with the flexibility of a three-point suspension machine that stores and transports like any standard implement.<\/p>\n

The five-ridge gripping profile is the technical feature that earns this machine its place above the 4-ridge models in the range. Where the 4-ridge pushing-type machine addresses soil adhesion by displacing soil laterally before the spring teeth pull, the 5-ridge design adds a fifth contact element that provides an additional stabilising grip on the plant stem above the root crown as the pull occurs. This stem stabilisation prevents the lateral rocking motion during extraction that causes pods to detach and fall on high-yielding varieties with dense pod clusters near the plant base. On Australia’s premium kidney bean varieties \u2014 including Tendergreen, Processors, and high-value import-substitution types grown for supermarket supply \u2014 the 5-ridge profile regularly records harvest losses 1\u20132 percentage points lower than 4-ridge equivalents on the same crop.<\/p>\n

The 103\u2013132 kW power requirement places this machine firmly in the large-tractor bracket: John Deere 6120M through 6155R, Case IH Maxxum 125 through Puma 145, New Holland T6.155 through T7.175, and Massey Ferguson 6700S and 7700S Series all fall within this range. For large bean operations already running 120\u2013140 hp tractors for other cultivation and harvesting tasks, the 4BYH-3.25 adds large-scale pulling capability to an existing tractor investment without requiring a dedicated pulling tractor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Technical Features \u2014 The Five-Ridge Advantage<\/h2>\n

Five-Ridge Gripping Profile \u2014 Stem Stabilisation During Extraction<\/h3>\n

The additional fifth ridge in the 4BYH-3.25’s gripping profile performs a function distinct from the four ridges in the pushing-type model. In the 5-ridge design, the fifth element is positioned to contact the plant stem above the root crown \u2014 not just the soil around the root. This stem contact creates a stabilising grip that prevents the plant from rocking laterally as the spring teeth apply lifting force. On dense-podded varieties where pod clusters sit close to the stem base, this rocking motion is the primary cause of pod detachment during extraction. Eliminating it with the fifth stabilising ridge produces the measurable 1\u20132 percentage point loss reduction on high-pod-density varieties that makes the 5-ridge model the preferred specification for premium and high-yielding production.<\/p>\n

3.25 m Working Width \u2014 Five Rows Per Pass<\/h3>\n

At 3.25 m working width with a 3,250 mm wheel track, the 4BYH-3.25 covers 5 rows simultaneously at 750 mm row spacing, with the tractor wheel track positioned precisely in the inter-row spaces on both sides of the central operating zone. This 5-row-per-pass capability delivers the daily coverage mathematics that large-scale operations require: at 2.5 hm\u00b2\/h on a 200 ha paddock, the entire crop is pulled in 80 operating hours \u2014 a 10-day timeline with a single operator that compresses the harvest risk window dramatically versus a 2.6 m machine needing 15 days for the same area.<\/p>\n

103\u2013132 kW \u2014 Large-Tractor Fleet Compatibility<\/h3>\n

Operations running 140\u2013180 hp tractors for primary cultivation, seeding, and spraying tasks can run the 4BYH-3.25 behind the same machines without a dedicated pulling tractor. At 1,540 kg structural mass, the machine sits within the rear-linkage capacity of all compatible tractors. The PTO demand at 103\u2013132 kW is within the rated PTO output of all tractors in this class at 540 rpm, without requiring the operator to choose between full engine power and full PTO power \u2014 the machine’s peak load does not exceed what these tractors deliver routinely to other implements.<\/p>\n

Spring-Tooth Picker \u2014 Maintained Compliance at 3.25 m<\/h3>\n

Scaling the spring-tooth system to 3.25 m introduces greater bar flex potential than at 2.6 m \u2014 the longer bar can bow under uneven load distribution if the tooth compliance specification is not adjusted for the wider geometry. EverPower’s engineering on the 4BYH-3.25 addresses this with a stiffer carrier bar cross-section at the centre span and slightly softer tooth spring rates at the outer positions to compensate for the reduced bar stiffness at the extremities. The result is consistent compliance across all 5 rows simultaneously rather than the stiffer centre and softer edges that simple linear scaling would produce.<\/p>\n

Productivity of 1.95\u20133.25 hm\u00b2\/h \u2014 Large-Farm Benchmark<\/h3>\n

At the upper end of the 3.25 hm\u00b2\/h productivity range \u2014 10 km\/h on flat, open paddocks with optimal soil conditions \u2014 the 4BYH-3.25 covers the daily pulling requirement of the largest commercial Australian kidney bean operations within a single-shift working day. At the conservative 1.95 hm\u00b2\/h end \u2014 6 km\/h on medium-to-heavy soils with careful loss management \u2014 the machine still covers 15\u201317 ha per 8-hour shift, which is adequate for operations where quality retention takes priority over maximum throughput speed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How the 4BYH-3.25 (5 Ridges) Works<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Step 01<\/div>\n
Row Alignment & Depth Set<\/div>\n

The 3,250 mm wheel track is set to align tractor wheels precisely in the inter-row spaces at 750 mm row spacing. The three-point linkage is set to the soil-type-specific depth at which the 5-ridge profile contacts both root zone and stem correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 02<\/div>\n
Five-Ridge Engagement<\/div>\n

All five ridges engage simultaneously \u2014 four displacing soil laterally from root zones, one stabilising each plant stem above the root crown. The stem contact element prevents lateral rocking during the subsequent lift phase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 03<\/div>\n
Spring-Tooth Extraction<\/div>\n

With soil displaced and stems stabilised, the spring teeth apply upward lift to all five rows simultaneously. The reduced extraction force requirement from soil pre-loosening and the stem stabilisation from the fifth ridge work together to hold losses within specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 04<\/div>\n
Five-Row Windrow Deposited<\/div>\n

Extracted plants from all five rows are deposited in a uniform windrow behind the machine. The consistent plant geometry from the controlled extraction produces a windrow that field-dries evenly and feeds the combine pickup uniformly across the full windrow width.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 4BYH-3.25 is typically the last machine to enter a large commercial paddock before the combine \u2014 it works across the full paddock in a single pass direction, with the combine following behind and processing the dried windrow. The operational rhythm on a 100 ha property is: pull days 1\u20134 (at 25 ha\/day), field dry days 3\u20136, combine follows from day 5. The overlapping pull-and-dry schedule means the combine is never waiting for dried material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Applications \u2014 High-Volume Bean Production at Scale<\/h2>\n

Large-Scale Commercial Kidney Bean \u2014 100 to 500+ ha<\/h3>\n

The primary application is commercial kidney bean production at the upper end of the Australian market: large-scale growers in the Riverina, Queensland’s Darling Downs, and Victoria’s Wimmera managing 100\u2013500+ ha annually for processing, export, and supermarket supply contracts. At this scale, daily harvest throughput determines whether the entire crop is pulled within the maturity window \u2014 and that window is typically 10\u201321 days before over-maturity causes natural pod shatter in the field that no harvesting equipment can recover. The 4BYH-3.25’s 20\u201330 ha daily coverage at moderate operating speed keeps a 200 ha crop safely within a 10-day pulling programme with one machine.<\/p>\n

Navy Bean & Soybean at High Volume<\/h3>\n

Australia’s growing processing navy bean sector and food-grade soybean production at 100+ ha scale face the same maturity-window constraint as kidney beans. The 4BYH-3.25’s 5-ridge system produces lower losses on high-pod-density navy bean varieties than standard pulling equipment, and the 3.25 m coverage rate allows a single machine to service the pulling requirements of large operations without contractor dependence. Food-grade soybean operations targeting premium tofu and edamame markets find the 5-ridge loss performance on high-value material financially compelling at the scale where even fractional loss reduction represents significant revenue per crop.<\/p>\n

Multi-Variety Production \u2014 Consistent Performance Across Crops<\/h3>\n

Large operations growing multiple bean varieties on the same property face the challenge that different varieties have different pod-density profiles and different optimal harvest timing. A machine that performs well on one variety but poorly on another complicates scheduling. The 4BYH-3.25’s 5-ridge system maintains consistent extraction quality across variety types because the stem-stabilisation function of the fifth ridge is effective regardless of pod density \u2014 it prevents lateral rocking on any variety, not just the highest-density types.<\/p>\n

Contract Harvesting \u2014 Premium Service at Large Scale<\/h3>\n

Harvest contractors servicing multiple large bean properties across a regional season find the 4BYH-3.25 their most commercially valuable machine: it covers the most area per day behind a standard large tractor, produces the lowest harvest losses on difficult soils and high-value varieties, and positions the contractor as a premium-quality service provider that growers with quality-sensitive supply contracts specifically seek out. The ability to quote a documented 2\u20134% harvest-loss specification on heavy clay-loam soils is a genuine commercial differentiator in a market where competitors with older equipment may measure 8\u201312% losses on the same conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"4BYH-3.25<\/div>\n
\n

Maintenance \u2014 Large Machine, Disciplined Schedule<\/h2>\n

Daily Inspection \u2014 Five Ridge Elements and Full Tooth Bar<\/h3>\n

At 3.25 m working width, the daily tooth inspection covers approximately 60% more bar length than the 2.6 m model \u2014 allow 10 minutes for a thorough walk of the full tooth bar. Check the fifth ridge element (stem stabiliser) specifically for soil packing around the contact face \u2014 accumulated clay between the stem contact face and the carrier can prevent the element from seating correctly on the plant stem, which reduces its stabilising function without being visible from the tractor seat. Clear any packing from the stem contact face with the provided cleaning tool before the first pass each day.<\/p>\n

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

Inspect all five ridge elements for tip wear by measuring against the new-tip dimension. Replace ridge tips when wear reaches the indicator mark \u2014 on heavy clay soils at commercial pace, this may be as frequently as every 25\u201330 hours during peak harvest. Inspect the carrier bar at the centre span for any lateral bow development \u2014 the 3.25 m bar can develop a slight bow under sustained heavy-soil load that affects row alignment and should be addressed before it becomes a ground-contact issue. Grease all seven main lubrication points on the pivot joints.<\/p>\n

Post-Season Full Service<\/h3>\n

Replace all spring teeth as a complete bar set. Replace all five ridge element tips regardless of apparent wear. Inspect and re-torque all tooth mounting bolts across the full 3.25 m bar. Inspect the three-point hitch interface pins and bushings for wear \u2014 the heavier 1,540 kg machine imposes more load on the tractor’s lower-link pins than the smaller models, and worn pins allow depth variability that affects row alignment across the wide bar. EverPower holds full service kits \u2014 complete tooth sets, full ridge-tip sets, and hitch hardware \u2014 at Condell Park NSW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nWhat does the fifth ridge actually do differently from the four-ridge model?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
In the 4-ridge pushing-type model, four ridge elements displace soil laterally from root zones before the spring-tooth lift. In the 5-ridge model, a fifth element is positioned to contact and stabilise the plant stem above the root crown as the lift occurs \u2014 preventing the lateral rocking motion during extraction that causes pods to detach and fall on high-pod-density varieties. The fifth ridge does not push soil; it holds the plant steady during the pull. This combination \u2014 soil pre-loosened, stem stabilised \u2014 consistently produces harvest losses 1\u20132 percentage points lower than the 4-ridge design on high-density varieties.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow many rows does the 3.25 m width cover at standard row spacings?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
At 750 mm row spacing<\/strong>, the 3.25 m working width covers five rows per pass<\/strong>, with the 3,250 mm wheel track positioning tractor wheels in the inter-row spaces on both sides. At 900 mm row spacing<\/strong>, the width covers approximately four rows with slight overlap at the outer edges. The machine does not require row-guide adjustment between these configurations.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat is the daily coverage on a 200 ha paddock?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
At a comfortable working speed of 7\u20138 km\/h on medium soils, the 4BYH-3.25 covers 18\u201325 ha per 8-hour shift<\/strong>. A 200 ha paddock is completed in 8\u201311 working days with a single operator and tractor \u2014 well within the typical 14\u201321 day maturity window for commercial kidney bean harvesting. At the maximum 10 km\/h on optimal conditions, 26\u201330 ha per day is achievable.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nIs the machine compatible with transport wagons for direct field-to-bin?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 the 4BYH-3.25 integrates with standard Australian transport wagons. At 3.25 m working width, the machine deposits five-row windrows that are collected efficiently by following wagons sized for large-scale operations. Direct wagon integration removes the field-drying and separate combine step for operations that prefer immediate removal and central processing.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat after-sales support and warranty is provided?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
3-year whole-machine warranty<\/strong> from EverPower Australia, covering both spring-tooth and five-ridge mechanism components. Complete tooth bar replacement kits, five-element ridge-tip sets, carrier bar sections, and hitch hardware stocked at Condell Park NSW for 72-hour national delivery.
