Bean harvester

A bean harvester, also known as a bean thresher or bean combine, is a threshing machine which is used to harvest beans. It mainly consists of a pickup, several beaters and shakers, elevators, conveyor belts, one or more fans, a storage bin, and a spreader at the rear. Until recently, the only practical manufacturer of bean harvesters was The Bidwell Bean Thresher Company, who have faced little to no competition due to their manufacturing being highly specialized.
