Harvesting Kidney Beans with Bob Model 56 Combines

[@ScottPykare]

I do enjoy the different types of farming. Thanks for the footage.

Great video! I was surprised to learn that NY was the first State to market dry beans and that it was the number 1 grower of them. We raised light red kidneys from 2003-2019; I honestly don't miss growing them whatsoever....lol. Expensive, labor intensive crop to grow with unpredictable yields as a result of their sensitivity to Mother Nature. We had almost that exact outfit as these guys (4450/Bob's 56)...my cousin actually did a drone video of me harvesting them quite a few years back...I'll do some digging and send it to ya. These guys have nice looking Deere's. I'm surprised of the difference in sound of the engines from the 8.1 to the 7.6...and that ya can hear it in your video. Nice work.

Excellent video TC 👍👍👍 It's good to see the different harvesting operations out there.

Very nice!! I like that 4455. I don’t know NY was 1 on the bean list at one time…

[@tractorchasers]

Thanks Rick! And I should have clarified that was back in the 1800's when NY was leading. As farming moved west Michigan took the lead and later North Dakota.

Really cool to see, I'm courious on how kidney beans rank in New York compared to other crops for bushel per acre

[@johnjohnjohnjohn2000]

There weren’t enough rocks in that field!

We ran a Bob model 44(?) for many years.

I would've like to see how they pull them

[@tractorchasers]

It would be great to show the full process. Hopefully timing lines up better for next fall.

Are kidney beans profitable compare to soy beans, corn or potatoes ?
