ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is described which is adapted to be mounted to a farm implement for harvesting beans or other similar crops. The apparatus has a pair of flexible belts positioned in a side-by-side fashion with each belt mounted on a pair of drive pulleys which in turn are mounted to axles supported by a frame. The pair of flexible belts each carry about their perimeter a plurality of flexible protruding members for gentle engagement with the stalk of the bean plant or similar crop. Stripper discs are coaxially mounted to the axles carrying the flexible belts for separating the bean pods and tops from the stalks. Cutter discs are placed below the stripper discs for cutting the bean pods and tops from the stalks without injury to the bean pods.
