That’s nothing like the green bean picker my grandma had lol as you know it was all us grandkids and grandma and we picked buckets full then helped her clean them she did all the canning herself I miss grandma’s cooking now 😢 great video definitely haven’t seen anything like that before thank you for sharing

I have definitely went over several rows of green beans! I had to be more selective, only take the ones that were ready… I preferred Blue Lake beans myself!

I have a 504 bean picker just like this one, we use ours in purple hull peas. They sure beat hurting your back all the time

I would love to get one of these machines in action! I would think it would make a good demonstration for sure.

Now that’s pretty cool too. I one of my most recent videos, I show two hicrop IH tractors and wondered what they were for so this makes sense. Thanks for showing this.

I checked out your tractors on the channel. Those are pretty good size tractors. Very well could be used for sugar cane. Most are in very poor condition because they were worked to death. Also, the were usually operated by an employee so they don’t have as much respect as a owner driven unit.

@@Recommended_by_Fred where these are at is someone that collects junk but I’m still going to see if he knows.

[@Recommended_by_Fred]

We’ll we don’t want to be scrapped! I know a dude up here in Indiana that would snatch them up no problem!

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

@@Recommended_by_Fred if I ever get to meet with them, I’ll see if they want to sell them.
