nw_bearcat - 3/14/2026 07:20 How many bu of beans per acre do we think it gains? MFGs say ~4bu/a I think. That real? Depends a lot I assume.
4 bpa would be on the extreme end. That would be with really short beans (too short for the real to sweep into the head) that are podded down near the ground (the sickle is cutting pods open).
In more normal conditions 1-2 bpa would be more realistic vs an auger head without air.
The air bar can't save beans that you're not currently putting on the ground using a head that doesn't have an air bar.
