Deere 653A row crop header on 9550. Phil Werner.

I would imagine that the two main problems with this are that it a) is an added expense with limited applicability, and b) cannot cut across rows without significant losses. That is probably why farmers prefer to use the same sickle platforms they do for wheat, oats, barley, etc.

But how does it cut the beans? Knife?
