Estrattore per fagioli rossi a montaggio frontale 4BYQ-2.6 | Sollevatore a spinta a 4 file
On a contoured hillside or raised-bed field, a rear-mount bean puller demands constant mirror-checking and delayed steering corrections. The Estrattore per fagioli rossi 4BYQ-2.6 mounts on the tractor’s front three-point hitch instead — pushing ahead of the front axle so the operator watches all four share points enter the row in real time from the cab seat. Same 2.6 m working width, same 1.56–2.6 ha/h throughput, same spring-tine pickup as the rear-mount — but with a line of sight that makes irregular fields productive instead of frustrating.
The Line-of-Sight Advantage: What Front-Mount Actually Changes
Most operators switching from a rear-pull to the 4BYQ-2.6 describe the first day in the field the same way: the steering corrections that used to come half a row too late now happen before the share even reaches the deviation. That's the core mechanical benefit — the pushing orientation places the share row between the tractor and the operator's forward view, eliminating the reaction lag that rear-mount operation requires on any field where rows aren't perfectly straight.

Specifiche tecniche
Mechanical specs are identical to the rear-mount Estrattore per fagioli rossi 4BYH-2.6 — the front-mount orientation is a configuration choice, not a capability downgrade. Verify your tractor has a front Category II three-point hitch and a front PTO stub shaft rated at 540 r/min before ordering.

Push-Frame Front PTO Drive: How the 4BYQ-2.6 Works

The mainframe bolts to the tractor's front Category II lower links and top link. Depth is set in-cab via the front hitch control — no dismounting required. The operator sees the share riding up toward the surface in a dry ridge before it skips and adjusts before the row is missed.
Power routes through the front PTO stub shaft to the right-angle gearbox, then to the spring-tine assembly. A 450–500 Nm overload clutch in the driveshaft protects the gearbox from start-up torque spikes. The front driveshaft routes along the tractor's front frame with the required safety guard for cab-proximity compliance.
Four hardened share points push into the soil ahead of the front axle. As they sever the lateral roots, spring tines rotate rearward lifting each vine upward into the rolling-cage conveyor. Because the machine leads, the operator's sight line is continuous — curve, adjust, correct, all within the same tractor length.
The transverse rolling-cage conveyor consolidates four vine streams into a single centered windrow deposited on the already-harvested strip between the front tires. The tractor then drives over it — the cured windrow is ready for the combine on the return pass.
At the field end, the operator raises the front hitch to lift all four shares clear of the soil, turns the tractor in the normal forward direction, and lowers to resume. No trailing frame, no jackknife risk, no wide arc on tight headlands — the smallest headland footprint of any 4-row bean puller configuration.
Is the 4BYQ-2.6 Right for Your Fields? A Diagnostic Checklist
The 4BYQ-2.6 and the rear-mount 4BYH-2.6 are mechanically identical — the right choice depends entirely on your fields and operator profile. Run through this checklist before ordering.
Where U.S. Growers Use the 4BYQ-2.6: Four Field Types

Front PTO Driveline Integrity

The 4BYQ-2.6 drives through the front PTO at 540 r/min into a right-angle transfer gearbox that powers the spring-tine conveyor. The front-mount orientation routes the driveshaft along the tractor's front frame section — closer to the cab than a rear PTO shaft and with different guard requirements. Verify your tractor's front PTO stub shaft is installed (not all 90–120 HP tractors include it as standard) before ordering, and confirm the driveshaft safety guard meets OSHA Part 1928 requirements for agricultural machinery operated near operators.
The internal right-angle gearbox must handle the torque profile of a 4-row spring-tine assembly at full commercial ground speed across dense root masses. A correctly rated agricultural right-angle gearbox for this application carries a case-hardened spiral bevel gear set rated for sustained input torque above 600 Nm — the same specification used in disc mower head drives and hay conditioner gearboxes, where compact physical size and high torque density are the simultaneous design requirements.
Our Full Kidney Bean Puller Range
The 4BYQ-2.6 is one of five models in our linea di estrattori di fagioli rossi. If the front-mount configuration doesn't fit your tractor or your field type, the table below identifies the correct alternative — and if you are scaling up, it shows the upgrade path:
| Modello | file | Width | HP | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4BYQ-2.6 (This Page) | 4 | 2.6 m | 90–120 | Contour rows, raised beds, small fields |
| 4BYH-2.6 | 4 | 2.6 m | 90–120 | Flat rectangular fields, rear-mount preferred |
| 4BYH-1.3 | 2 | 1.3 m | ≥55 | 50–200 ac entry level, compact tractor |

What Growers Report After One Season
★★★★★
"We grow pinto beans on 38-inch raised beds in Fresno County. First season with the 4BYQ-2.6 our pull success rate went from 91% to above 98%. Watching the shares directly made all the difference — I adjust before the bed varies, not after."
Aaron Whitfield — Fresno County, CA (mid 2025)
★★★★★
"Northern Idaho contour kidney bean rows were impossible to pull cleanly with rear-mount. The 4BYQ-2.6 tracked our contours the whole season. Pulled 140 acres across five fields, zero missed-row incidents. The front-mount front hitch setup from the U.S. team took about 30 minutes to get confirmed."
Colleen Mattson — Clearwater County, ID (early 2025)
★★★★☆
"Organic black and pinto beans across four plots, none over 20 acres. The tight headland turns are the reason I chose front-mount. Four stars only because my tractor needed a dealer-installed front PTO adapter — buyers should verify that first. Machine itself performed flawlessly."
Mark Oliphant — Marquette County, MI (late 2024)
★★★★★
"Red River Valley navy beans — not flat. Field corners have camber and I used to leave skipped plants in the curved edge rows with rear-mount. The 4BYQ-2.6 pulled them clean. Full 180 acres in four and a half days. Clean windrow, happy combine operator."
David Reinhardt — Walsh County, ND (mid 2025)
★★★★★
"Identity-preserved great northern contract pulling across eight farms in the Nebraska Panhandle. Zero reject loads at the elevator this season — first time in three years. The forward visibility reduces my per-acre attention load. Will run it again without question."
Sandra Krieger — Cheyenne County, NE (early 2025)
