So i have been mostly harvesting 30 inch beans, going straight up the row, outside skid plate doesnt come near the beans,so nothing gets knocked down. I got a chance to custom harvest 7.5 inch beans and i watched as my side skid plate and maybe even the crop dividers were knocking down a lot of the plants flat. Then they cannot be salveged.Crop dividers tips are floating maybe 3 inchs off the ground.Tried going at different angles which helped a little. Is this an operator set up issue or is this the nature of the beast? Just tryin to fine tune things here. Can anybody comment on this?
 
kinda of nature of the beast. we had this trouble a few years ago. it was late so beans stalks were dry and brittle. the wider the head helps as fewer passes. we went back to 30' rows on lots of our beans we have a15' head. where ever the end skid of the head goes knocks down beans
 
If you combine at an angle, and cut in "lands", keeping the drive end to the cut side, the other divider does not do much damage.
 
The dividers will some times do this. It works better to cut back and forth on the same land. Many of the beans knocked over will be picked up when you come back the opposite way. If your run the same direction by cutting around a land then you will just mash them down and run over them.
