What device (on the tractor) is used to harvest soy beans?

Posted by admin in used farm tractors on February 27th, 2009

On a mechanized farm what implement is attached to a farm tractor to harvest a field of soy bean or would a farmer use a combine? As a rule of thumb how much tonnage of soy beans could a farmer expect to harvest (assuming a healthy crop) from an acre of soy beans?

Thank you.

They are harvested with a self-propelled combine. Here is a picture of a one-unit combine:

And a video of such:

There is also the type that attaches to a regular tractor, but I could not find a picture for that one. That is they type of combine that my uncle has on his cash crop farm.

In our part of the Midwest, we get 40 bushels per acre, which is about a metric ton per acre.

Farm tractors…..get them off the roads ?

Farm vehicles are a danger to other road users. They travel slowly and cause extreme frustration to the car drivers. If a farmer wants to transport produce he should use a lorry. If he wants to use a tractor in another area, it should be transported to that area on the back of a transporter that can keep up with the speed of other road users. I think that such off road vehicles should stay off the roads. What do you think ?

You're spot on.
