The Flexxifinger® Pulse Crop Lifter™ was originally designed for straight combining in desiccated crops like peas, lentils and edible beans where cutting close to the ground is required. The lifter rail hugs the guard and the replaceable nylon finger is held in an adjustable receptor, allowing the combine operator to fine-tune the location of the lifter’s forward lifting point for his specific conditions. The finger extends beyond the finger receptor and becomes a tail that guides the plant material over the knife.
Benefits
Usage
Crop type: peas, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, pinto beans, soy beans, white beans
Generally, the recommended spacing is one lifter per foot across the header. Harvesting some row or bedded crops, where lifters mounted to the row or a combination of different Flexxifinger® lifters to maximize recovery have proven beneficial.
The 33048 nylon finger (2.75”/70mm) is recommended when cutting within 1.25” (30mm) of the ground. The 33050 nylon finger (4.75”/120mm) is recommended when cutting within 1.5” to 2.5” (30-60mm) of the ground. Please contact us to assist with determining the best choice for your crop.
** Some or all of these components are made of steel, therefore care must be exercised by the combine operator to minimize possible damage to the header/ combine.**
Optional Accessories
This pan attaches to the rail of the Flexxfinger’s® line of crop lifters and helps to:
- Pull edible bean pods above the knife
- Reduce shatter loss in dry field conditions by catching shelled seed that would otherwise be lost
This Carriage bolt is for select headers that have a poly skid plate held on by a 7/16” (11mm) carriage step bolt from under the header, which tapers to 10mm in order to mount the QD™ nut assembly.
This Carriage bolt is for a header that uses a 7/16” (11mm) carriage bolt from under the header, which tapers to 10mm in order to mount the QD™ nut assembly.
This Carriage bolt is used on a header that has a 10mm guard bolt from under the header, in order to mount the QD™ nut assembly.
On headers that have 4”(100mm) spacing between the guards, there will be instances where the guard bolts do not line up with the guard point, making the installation of a lifter at specific intervals impossible. Flexxifinger® has engineered a patented bracket, to position a lifter on a guard tip that does not align with a bolt. This allows users to place Flexxifinger® lifters at intervals other than once every 12” (304mm).
