Crawler harvesters are suitable for harvesting operations in complex terrain and wet environment, with strong passability and stability. For example, the Sichuan Gangyi 4LZD-0.6 crawler small soybean combine harvester can feed 0.6 kilograms of soybeans per second, and the cutting width reaches 1,200 millimeters, which is suitable for harvesting small fields. Wheeled harvesters are more suitable for harvesting operations in flat terrain, with high maneuverability and flexibility. Shandong Jindafeng 4LZ-1.6A wheeled soybean combine harvester, with a feeding capacity of 1.6 kilograms per second and a cutting width of 1,600 millimeters, is suitable for rapid harvesting of large fields.

Bean harvesters are equipped with features such as adjustable cutting heights to accommodate different crop varieties and growth stages, as well as mechanisms to handle the beans gently to minimize damage and maintain quality. Some advanced models may also include GPS and field data maps to optimize harvesting paths and yield data analysis, helping farmers make informed decisions for future crops.
